    When you detect a problem with your transmission, and you get it fixed, you are doing your car and yourself a great favor.  You will be able to save hundreds of dollars on more costly repairs if you are not able to have the problem fixed right away.

    What Are the Common Transmission Problems in New Orleans?

    Maintaining your car’s transmission will bring long-term benefits.  Because the transmission is a complicated mechanical system, it can be overwhelming if you are not aware of its specific functions and how it works to help your car function properly.

    The typical transmission problems that would need immediate repair include:

    1. Leaking fluid

    One of the first things you should be checking is the level of the transmission fluid of your vehicle.  A low level or no transmission fluid causes several transmission problems that can be costly and more difficult to deal with.

    1. Grinding or shuddering

    When you get your transmission repaired, the mechanic will most likely check the clutch of your vehicle.  The way you drive can also affect transmission problems. The wear and tear of your transmission can be accelerated through improper driving, like not keeping the clutch fully engaged while driving or downshifting instead of breaking.

    1. Can’t Get Into Gear

    When your gearbox does not change gear, it is a bad sign.  There may be problems with your fluid level or you may have used the wrong transmission fluid.  Before starting a repair, you can check the transmission oil level first.  Other considerations causing this problem could be:

    • Shifting cables or clutch linkage needing adjustment
    • The computer system of your vehicle is not communicating with the shifters
    1. Gears Slipping

    When your transmission oil level is fine, but your transmission keeps slipping, the linkage parts on your transmission can be worn out.  For manual transmissions, they should never go out of gear unless you perform a shift.  For automatic transmissions, slipping gears can be caused by a malfunction in the computer system.  

    1. Clunking, whining, or humming

    Any unusual noise coming from the engine is a red flag.  Be alert when you hear something out of the ordinary.  There are transmission problems in automatic transmissions when you hear whining or humming.  For manual transmissions, you will hear clunking when you shift to first gear.

    1. Grinding or shuddering

    There might be a clutch problem when you hear grinding or shuddering between gears.  The synchronizers might also be having a problem when you hear these sounds.  Automatic transmissions can also cause a jarring sensation which means you will need transmission servicing.

    1. Rebuild or replacement

    There may be instances when a transmission repair cannot be done.  When your transmission fails or stops working, mechanics will offer or recommend a transmission replacement or rebuild.  Your mechanic should be able to tell you more about this when this is needed.

    1.  Burning smell

    Burning transmission fluid is a sign of an overheating gearbox caused by dirty transmission fluid, low transmission fluid, or leaking transmission fluid.  These can cause significant damage if they are not attended to immediately.

    1.  Noisy Neutral

    Your vehicle can be encountering transmission fluid problems when you hear loud noises when your car is in neutral.  Otherwise, the noise can be caused by worn bearings, general wear and tear, worn-out reverse idler, or worn gear teeth.

    1.  Slow acceleration response

    When you notice that your vehicle hesitates between gears or is slow to take off, this can be caused by a worn clutch in a manual transmission.  Have your transmission checked when your throttle is slow to engage.

    Facts About Transmission Repairs

    You will need to get the best value for your dollar when it comes to transmission repairs.  It is most important that when you get repairs on your transmission, it will not only be a temporary fix.

    You will need the help of an expert mechanic who specializes in repairing transmissions to make sure that you don’t just get a quick fix with an issue that you will have to deal with repeatedly within a year.

    Transmission repairs that are only minor like fluid change will only cost a few hundred dollars but you should know specifically what needs to be done with your transmission and what the problem really is to avoid it from happening in the future.  Otherwise, you will need to spend more on a transmission replacement.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
