When You Need to Get Your Transmission Replaced

If your transmission is broken, there will often be very obvious signs. First off, the check engine light can turn on, indicating that something’s wrong. Beyond that, you may notice trouble shifting into a new gear, clunking when the car does shift or even a failure to shift at all, resulting in high RPMs. There may be a smell coming from under your hood that can indicate transmission failure, or even leaking transmission fluid. All these signs can mean serious problems with your transmission, so make sure to bring in your Kia as soon as you notice anything out of the ordinary.

Why Do Transmissions Break

Transmissions are complicated mechanisms with many gears and bearings, but they should last a long time. They have a special fluid inside them that keeps them lubricated and protected, called transmission fluid. While accidents and collisions can also cause problems, the main reason transmissions fail is because the transmission fluid wasn’t replaced properly. Transmission fluid should be changed every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, so the best way to fix a broken transmission is to prevent it from breaking in the first place.
