Our team at Keystone Truck & Equipment has extensive experience in repairing and maintaining trucks of all kinds, and we want to help you keep your fleet in excellent condition. One of the many things we can help you with is transmission repair.
In this article, we’ll go over a few signs your trucks need transmission service. If you observe any of the following issues in any of your vehicles, give us a call right away.
- Unresponsive Transmission – Your transmission is the part of your truck responsible for changing the gears. Your engine should change to the new gear smoothly and seamlessly as soon as you move the gear shift. If it takes the truck a moment to complete the gear shift, you should give us a call to schedule transmission service.
- Strange Noises – Another indicator you should call our team to schedule transmission service is if your transmission starts making loud or unusual sounds when you try to change gears. This is a clear sign that something is wrong, and you should get the issue checked out as soon as possible.
- Shaking – Your truck shouldn’t shake when you try to change gears. If you feel any shaking or rattling as you shift, then we encourage you to contact our team to have us check out your transmission right away.
- Leaking Fluid – Lastly, check under your vehicle for leaking transmission fluid. If your transmission is leaking, you’ll see a puddle under the engine in the center of the vehicle. In this situation, you’ll need to have a reliable transmission service technician assess the engine and correct the problem.
