1 Answers
The symptoms of a bad car transmission: 1. Slow response - each gear shift should quickly engage the correct gear. If shifting feels unsmooth or even difficult, it indicates transmission problems; 2. Automatic transmission cannot upshift - the transmission remains stuck in 1st gear during driving and cannot shift to 2nd or higher gears, or can shift to 2nd gear but cannot engage 3rd or overdrive gears; 3. Burnt smell - if you notice a burnt odor from transmission fluid, it indicates transmission overheating; 4. Engine stalls when shifting - after starting the car, when moving the gear lever from P or N to other positions, the engine stalls, or the engine stalls when braking to stop during driving.
