Transmission Troubles? Visit Your CDJR Dealer

The transmission sends power from the engine to the wheels of your car. In doing so, this remarkably complex component undergoes enormous pressure and can start to wear down if not properly cared for. If you notice the following signs of gearbox trouble, head to your local CDJR dealer for transmission repairs before the problem worsens. 

Unusual Noises

As with any part of your car, odd noises from the transmission shouldn’t be ignored. Grinding sounds might simply indicate low or degraded transmission fluid, but could also point to more troublesome issues with the clutch, torque converter, synchronizers, bearings, or planetary gear system. 

Automatic transmissions can also occasionally emit whining or buzzing sounds when suffering a fault. The sooner you have strange noises checked by a professional, the less likely you are to experience a serious and expensive repair job. 

Delayed Engagement

After shifting gears, if you notice a slight delay in the response and engagement of your transmission, you should also have it checked. Delayed engagement could result from worn-out gears, bad clutch bands, or a malfunctioning solenoid. With delayed engagement, your car might jerk when the gears finally engage, or advance more slowly than usual. 

Slipping Gears

Any failure to properly engage, or a sudden unwanted gear shift, is called slipping gears. When slipping occurs, your engine may rev loudly while failing to accelerate as expected. Sometimes problems with the fluid can cause slipping gears. Premature wear and a range of other faults can also lead to slipping gears. 

Refusal To Shift

One of the most severe transmission problems is a refusal to shift, meaning you can’t engage a new gear, potentially leaving you stuck in a hazardous situation on the road. A refusal to shift could result from faulty solenoids, sensors, cable positioning, clutch linkage, or something else altogether.
