  The complex mechanism of a car’s transmission requires an adequate level of lubrication. However, the transmission fluid performs its duty properly until a leak allows it to flow out of the unit.

  If there is talk about the automatic transmission, fluid is the lifeline of the system. However, any problem with fluid can offer you a bad experience.

  The primary question at hand is what kinds of issues can arise with transmission fluid. Is there a serious risk of leakage? Is there a chance of contamination? Of course! It gathers dirt and grime. As it ages, it also begins to degrade. There are enough chances of the presence of sufficient metal debris too.

  Therefore, your transmission is at risk because old, dirty transmission fluid doesn't flow properly. You should be aware of these signs that can update you about a degraded fluid.

  Transmission starts to produce grinding noises

  However, a dirty transmission fluid can make a noise similar to grinding noise, which is typically a sign of low transmission fluid levels.

  If you hear these noises, check the fluid consistency and levels. Even if the fluid levels are sufficient, dirty fluid cannot properly lubricate the parts, leading to these strange and uncomfortable noises.

  Unusual gear shifting

  Since transmission fluid plays an important role in automatic transmission while managing hydraulic power, there could be some instances of gear slippage or incorrect gear shifting. It happens when transmission fluid does not perform its duty due to an impurity while having issues in managing hydraulic pressure.

  However, it could be your transmission filter to blame. Fortunately, you always have the option to inspect your transmission at Service My Car and opt for transmission oil filter services if required.

  Abnormal occurrence of transmission whining

  Most transmissions with low fluid typically make a whining noise because low fluid puts a number of components under stress. Similarly, dirty fluids in a unit also cause a lot of problems. Correspondingly, if there is any strange noise, there may be a clogged filter and dirty fluid.

  When your car whines while going backwards, there is a problem with the transmission fluid line. You should take care of this issue as soon as you notice it because if the line is clogged, the fluid cannot flow and your transmission is at risk of serious issues. If the transmission whines while moving forward, there may be a more serious issue with the torque converter.

  The Check Engine Light Turned On

  No doubt, bad transmission fluid is not good news for your car’s transmission. However, there is always a communication between the transmission unit and the engine. The engine receives intimation as soon as there is a problem with the transmission. Something inside your transmission may be in danger when the check engine light comes on.

  In such a situation, it is best to get your vehicle to an expert at Service My Car as soon as possible. As the check engine light comes on due to a vast variety of issues in your vehicle.

  Extremely hot transmission

  A transmission requires the cooperative involvement of several metal parts. And there is always some sort of friction when they work together for a long time. The transmission fluid serves its purpose to keep your transmission at a safe operating temperature.

  When there is any instance of contamination, the fluid's cooling capacity takes a toll, leading to an overheated transmission. An overheated transmission is a serious threat to a number of parts, like its cooling system for the engine. Sometimes, it can cause permanent and costly damage to your car.

  You should visit a trusted workshop as soon as possible to avoid substantial damage that does not settle less than the complete gearbox overhaul.

  Sudden Jump in RPM just before shifting gears

  The fluid controls the hydraulic ability to shift gears, particularly in automatic transmissions. Your car's ability to shift takes a toll due to fluid contamination when its properties go bad. One indication of this is a longer time between gear changes, higher RPMs and an increase in engine noise is subtle sign of such an issue.

  Usually, when the gear comes into an engagement, your car will lunge after the RPM increase.

  Why should you not neglect dirty transmission fluid?

  When you neglect this issue, contaminated transmission fluid can lead to expensive repairs as transmission parts start to deteriorate and need to be replaced. A transmission inspection and replacement are much less expensive than a complete overhaul.

  Do not wait until your car is completely inoperable before consulting a professional. However, dirty transmission fluid is not good for a manual gearbox either, but it is a hazard for an automatic transmission, keeping its function in mind.

  You just need to take a step to visit a trusted workshop as soon as possible. Service My Car offers transmission inspection and repair services for a variety of makes and models. It just needs to book a car service or order a car repair quote online.

  Here’s How You Determine Right Time for a Fresh Set of Tyres for Your Car

  Since your vehicle serves you, there is a certain cost you have to pay in terms of fuel as well as car maintenance. This also requires you to go for a tyre replacement at some point of time.

   

  But, how do you decide when you need a new set of tyres? However, the tyre wear and tear is quite visible with the naked eye, but it would not be a wise decision to wait until you encounter a tyre blast. But few people are aware of the warning signs to look out for when determining whether it's time to replace the tyres on their car.

   

  However, let’s take a look at this analysis before making a move to have a fresh set of tyres.

   

  Has your vehicle sustained several tyre punctures?

   

  Once your vehicle’s tyres have lost enough rubber over the surface, it becomes more susceptible to punctures. The nails, broken glass or any other foreign sharp objects can pierce the tyre surface easily.

   

  On the other hand, thick tyre tread can easily prevent sharp objects from piercing into a tyre.

   

  Therefore, you should be aware of the number of punctures your tyres have sustained. You should not go for a drive with too many punctures because eventually a fresh puncture maximizes the probability of tyre blast.

   

  You should not take care of driving or avoid driving too much if your vehicle sustains a flat tyre.

   

  How much distance has your vehicle covered?

   

  The road significantly depletes the rubber in the tyres. The tyres on your car deteriorate as it travels a greater distance. Tyres typically begin to deteriorate after travelling 50,000 kilometres. Rugged roads and frequent braking can reduce a tire's life expectancy. Therefore, safe driving also guarantees longer tyre life. At most, tyres should last two to three years.

   

  If a vehicle is kept for a long time or travels frequently, it may occasionally suffer from significant deterioration. Even so, a tyre that has been left stationary for a long time will eventually suffer damage.

   

  In such a condition, the tyre may produce a squealing sound for a few minutes once you start to drive, especially after one or more weeks.

  However, you can ignore this issue, but it may turn into a serious affair if your tyre blasts during a drive.

   

  Have you been driving with a misalignment?

   

  Misalignment does not pose enough trouble while driving, but it may disturb tyres substantially.

   

  In such cases, misalignment starts to torment one side while other side will appear normal. Therefore, the wheel alignment and balancing should also be in the list  for a longer life of the new tyres. You should try to avail this while replacing the tyres.

   

  Wheel rotation is also quite necessary and you should opt for the same frequently to ensure even wear of tread. In case, the car runs unsteadily while driving,  Your car’s tyres has gone bad. However, you can opt for a wheel alignment by a qualified mechanic at Service My Car.

   

  Has your tire’s tread vanished?

   

  Almost all useful automobiles and bicycles come with treads on every tyre. Treads are essentially grooves on the surface of the tyre that help improve tyre-road contact. Additionally, the treads are made to disperse water and prevent a film of water from forming between the tyre and the ground, which can lead to aquaplaning and a loss of control. The ideal depth of the tread before changing the tyres is somewhere around 0.5 cm.

   

  If you have been noticing the vehicle’s tyres have lost enough tread and go far below the standard 0.5 cm. You should consider for a fresh set of tyres as soon as possible. This step not only helps you in mitigating the risk of road risks, you also gain in terms of fuel consumption. Your vehicle tends to consume lesser fuel with fresh piece of tyres.

   

  When replacing a worn-out tyre, additional safety precautions should be taken. However, it is advisable to use the same size tyre, and if at all possible, replace all of the tyres. Otherwise, try to rotate the front tyres with the rear ones.

   

  However, the tread pattern ought to be uniform as well. Using both new and old tyres may throw off the vehicle's balance. And, if you have to replace the rear set of tyres, consider having a fresh one at the front or an old set at the back.

   

  The majority of tyres available on the market for everyday vehicles typically have a lifespan of five years. Thus, even if there is no obvious damage or tread shortage on the surface, it is advised to change your tyres if they are older than five years.

   

  Therefore, a regularly check of tyre pressure and taking the necessary precautions is critical to ensure road safety. However, if it is needed to never delay a tyre replacement, you may also consult a professional at Service My Car for better advice. Just book a car service or order a car repair quote on our website or app instantly.
