FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common Questions

A shop may check for leaks, inspect fluid condition and level, assess how the transmission shifts, and scan for fault codes. Depending on the vehicle and findings, service may mean maintenance, diagnosis or repair. Ask what work is proposed and why.
A repeated pause, slipping sensation or harsh engagement can point to a transmission or related problem. Note when it happens and arrange an assessment. If the vehicle will not engage or loses drive, avoid continuing to drive it.
