If your car hesitates or jolts when changing gears, it’s a sign that your transmission fluid may be low, contaminated, or your clutch and solenoids are wearing out. These issues can worsen quickly and affect drivability. At Pavlov Motors in Douglasville and Smyrna, we perform detailed diagnostics to pinpoint shifting problems and restore seamless performance.
Grinding, whining, or clunking sounds while accelerating or shifting are clear indicators of internal wear or low fluid levels. Ignoring these noises may lead to costly damage. Our technicians use advanced diagnostic equipment to detect and repair transmission issues before they escalate.
When your vehicle unexpectedly slips out of gear or struggles to accelerate, your transmission could be losing hydraulic pressure. This issue often stems from worn seals, low fluid, or damaged clutch packs. At Pavlov Motors, we inspect your transmission system thoroughly to identify the root cause and ensure smooth, reliable power delivery.
Puddles of reddish or dark fluid under your car are one of the most obvious signs of transmission trouble. Leaks typically occur from worn gaskets, damaged seals, or cracked lines. Our service centers in Douglasville and Smyrna, GA, provide expert transmission leak detection and resealing to prevent further damage.
A burning odor coming from your vehicle may indicate overheated or degraded transmission fluid. This condition can severely damage gears and clutches if not addressed quickly. We replace old fluid with manufacturer-approved transmission fluids to keep your system cool and properly lubricated.
Modern vehicles feature sensors that detect transmission irregularities. If you notice the check engine light or transmission warning indicator, it’s time to visit Pavlov Motors for a full diagnostic scan. We identify and resolve issues before they affect performance or cause failure.
If your vehicle shakes or jerks while shifting gears or maintaining speed, it may point to torque converter problems, clutch wear, or sensor faults. Our technicians use high-precision diagnostic tools to restore smooth, controlled operation.
Frequent towing, spirited driving, or long trips in hot Georgia weather can strain your transmission. Preventative fluid service and system inspection at Pavlov Motors help maintain transmission temperature and performance, especially for Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Volkswagen models.
