Fleet, Truck & Diesel Repair Blog

If you're driving a semi truck, you don't want to take any chances. A mechanic should investigate even the tiniest problems. This is particularly true when it comes to transmission issues. The following is a list of some of the most typical signs of transmission failure. When your semi needs transmission repair in Anaheim or the surrounding areas, contact Orange County Fleet Services for unbeatable service. Overheating It may be necessary to add more fluid if the transmission appears to be overheating. Old or burned fluid may also be the source of heating problems. Fluid should be thick in texture and a rich shade of red. The transmission may still need more extensive repairs or replacement even after new fluid has been added. Speak with an expert to check for any leaks. Shifting Challenges Pay special attention to how the transmission shifts if you drive a manual truck. If changing gears becomes difficult or if the clutch frequently pops out of gear, the gearbox may be worn out. Another cause of jerky shifting could be a fluid obstruction or a solenoid problem. Even automatic transmissions are susceptible to gear slippage. Listen to strange noises, such as pounding or grinding, while changing gears. Trouble Accelerating If the transmission in your truck is in good condition, it will accelerate smoothly. A transmission problem exists if there is a significant decrease in power when the gas pedal is pressed.
