At Nick's Automotive in Reno, NV, we’ve seen a lot of worn out and tired transmissions. How do you know if it’s time to replace yours?

There are a variety of symptoms which indicate a transmission is about to fail, or should be replaced. If your transmission slips even though the fluid level is correct, knocks, whines, grinds, or produces any variety of abnormal noises, leaks excessively, experiences difficulty shifting, or otherwise misbehaves, there’s a good chance your transmission has a serious problem.
