What are some signs of a slipping transmission?


by DoItYourself Staff

No one wants an auto repair expense caused by a slipping transmission. You can reduce - or even avoid - such repairs if you learn to recognize early signs of this slipping, signs such as these below.

    1. Delay in acceleration - When placing your car into gear, there is a delay before the car begins accelerating.
 
    2. Delay in shifting - In moving forward, there is a delay in the shifting of your transmission to the next gear.
   
    3. Higher engine RPM's - As you accelerate, your car engine's RPM (revolutions per minute) is higher than normal.
