When You Should Bring Your Car In: Common Transmission Warning Signs

If you experience any of these, it’s advisable to get your car checked at a trusted gearbox repair center:

• Delays or hesitation when shifting gears

• Transmission slipping (RPM increases but vehicle speed doesn’t match)

• Harsh, jerk-like shifts or rough engagement

• Strange noises—grinding, whining, humming during shifts

• Fluid leaks under the car (red or brown fluid)

• Burning smells from transmission area

• Check engine / transmission warning light illuminated

• Overheating transmission or reduced performance under load

Why Transmission Problems are More Serious in Dubai

Dubai driving conditions place extra stress on gearboxes:

• High ambient temperatures make fluid degrade more quickly and increase thermal strain.

• Stop-and-go traffic plus frequent shifting adds wear.

• High speed highway driving amplifies any small issues.

• Dust and sand can infiltrate seals etc.

• For luxury and performance vehicles, design tolerances are tighter, parts are more expensive, and expertise matters more.
