4 Warning Signs of Contaminated Transmission Fluid

by Jimmy's Top Tech Auto • 25 October 2024
Your car's transmission fluid is vital for keeping the transmission system lubricated, cool, and functioning smoothly. But as the miles add up, transmission fluid can become contaminated, leading to serious issues. At Jimmy’s Top Tech Auto, we can expertly address issues with your car’s transmission fluid. Here’s a look at four warning signs that your transmission fluid may be contaminated. Discolored Transmission Fluid Healthy transmission fluid is typically a bright red color. If the fluid appears dark brown, black, or has a burnt odor, this indicates contamination. Over time, transmission fluid can become dirty from metal shavings or other debris, which causes it to lose its effectiveness. Discolored transmission fluid should be brought to the mechanic’s attention ASAP. Sluggish Gear Shifts Contaminated transmission fluid often makes it harder for the transmission to engage properly, resulting in sluggish or delayed shifts. You might notice the engine revs higher than normal before shifting gears, or the car may hesitate to change gears altogether. With contaminated transmission fluid, issues can arise such as poor lubrication and a lack of the hydraulic pressure necessary for smooth shifting. Strange Noises Transmission systems should run smoothly and quietly. If you hear grinding, whining, or clunking noises as gears shift, contaminated fluid could be the culprit. Dirty fluid may no longer reduce friction effectively, causing excess wear on the transmission's components and leading to unusual sounds. Overheating Transmission Transmission fluid plays a crucial role in keeping the transmission cool. If it’s contaminated, the system is more prone to overheating, which can result in substantial problems, and increases the risk of transmission failure. You may notice a burning smell, which is a warning sign that the fluid has degraded or that the transmission is overheating.

5 Common Reasons the Check Engine Light Comes On

by Jimmy's Top Tech Auto • 30 September 2024
When the check engine light illuminates, it's easy to feel anxious about what might be wrong. While the check engine light can signal a wide range of issues, some problems are more common than others. The important thing is to get to the shop before the issue gets the chance to significantly escalate. At Jimmy’s Top Tech Auto, we provide expert check engine light diagnostics and repair in the greater Austin, TX area. Here are five common reasons the check engine light might come on. Oxygen Sensor Issues Oxygen (O2) sensors monitor the level of unburned oxygen in your car’s exhaust. If the sensor malfunctions, it can throw off your engine’s air-to-fuel ratio, reducing fuel-efficiency and increasing emissions. A bad oxygen sensor is one of the most common culprits behind the check engine light. Faulty Spark Plugs or Ignition Coils Spark plugs and ignition coils are responsible for igniting the air-fuel mixture in the engine. If your spark plugs are worn out or the ignition coils are failing, the engine may misfire, causing the check engine light to come on. Mass Air Flow Sensor Problems The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine to ensure the right amount of fuel is delivered. If the MAF sensor is dirty or faulty, the engine may receive too much or too little fuel, resulting in poor performance and triggering the check engine light. Loose/Damaged Gas Cap A simple, often overlooked cause for the check engine light to illuminate is a loose or faulty gas cap. The gas cap seals the fuel system. If it isn’t properly secured, fuel may evaporate before it is directed to the engine for use. Catalytic Converter Failure The catalytic converter reduces harmful emissions by converting pollutants into less harmful substances. If it’s failing, not only will your check engine light come on, but you’ll likely notice a drop in performance.
