The engine provides large amounts of uncontrolled energy, which the transmission controls by applying this energy to the wheels to enable them to move at the required speed. Transmission components wear out as they get older and need replacement. As your RAM dealership, we'd like you to know a few signs that you need to visit us for a transmission service. more Transmission Leak Transmission fluid provides the essential hydraulic power that allows the gears to shift smoothly. It's pumped through the transmission and helps cool the hot components. In addition, the fluid coats these components in a friction-resistant covering that protects them against wear and tear. The transmission is sealed, but over time, seals can wear out, and the fluid will leak. Leaking transmission fluid is easy to spot, as it's bright or dark red. If you see a puddle of red fluid under your vehicle, contact us ASAP, and don't try to drive your RAM. If you drive with low transmission fluid, you can cause serious, irreparable damage. We'll find and fix the leak and refill the transmission fluid, and your transmission will work effectively again. Buzzing, Humming, and Whining A RAM transmission works smoothly and silently as it shifts gears according to the transmission computer's orders. Strange noises, like faint humming or buzzing, are signs that something is wrong. These noises are very difficult to detect when they start, but they rise in intensity as time passes. They can also develop into more unnerving sounds, like a painful whining noise. Buzzing and humming sounds can have several causes, including damaged transmission bands, solenoid issues, a failing fluid pump, or low transmission fluid. Whining noises from the transmission, on the other hand, are usually caused by a damaged torque converter, a clogged transmission filter, or blocked transmission lines. We'll find the cause of the trouble and fix it, and the noises will stop. Slipping Gears Once the transmission shifts gears, it remains in that gear until it's shifted again by you or the transmission computer. Slipping gears is a dangerous situation where the gears shift without warning. If this happens, the gears usually shift to their previous position, potentially causing an accident if your RAM transmission is forced into Park or Neutral. Gear slippage is usually accompanied by harsh metallic sounds as gear teeth are forced against each other. A low transmission fluid level can cause this problem, as insufficient fluid prevents the gears from shifting correctly. Other potential causes include a transmission computer issue and worn gear teeth.  Our technicians will investigate and repair the problem. If your transmission isn't working correctly, contact us right away at Snethkamp CDJR in Redford, MI.
