4 Common Warning Signs that You Need Transmission Repair

By Cruz-N-Carz • March 12, 2025
Your vehicle’s transmission is responsible for smoothly shifting gears and delivering power to the wheels. When it starts to develop issues, you may notice performance problems, which could quickly worsen if left unaddressed. At Cruz-N-Carz, our local mechanics provide expert transmission repair in the greater Pearland area. Here are four common signs of transmission trouble. Slipping Gears If your transmission is slipping, you may notice that your car struggles to stay in gear. This can make acceleration unpredictable and cause your engine to rev higher than usual without a corresponding increase in speed. Gear slippage can be caused by low transmission fluid or internal damage within the transmission. Since this issue can make driving dangerous, it’s important to have it inspected and repaired as soon as possible. Delayed or Rough Shifting A properly functioning transmission should shift smoothly between gears. If you experience hesitation or a jerking sensation when changing gears, this could indicate a transmission problem. Delayed engagement, where there is a noticeable lag before the car moves after shifting into drive or reverse, is another warning sign. These issues can stem from low fluid levels or other internal issues. Ignoring these symptoms could lead to further damage. Strange Noises While Driving Unusual noises such as grinding, whining, or clunking sounds when shifting gears can signal transmission trouble. A whining noise may indicate issues with the transmission pump, while clunking sounds may result from worn-out gears. Diagnosing the source of these sounds early can help prevent more extensive transmission damage. Leaking Transmission Fluid A reddish puddle forming under your car can indicate a transmission fluid leak. This fluid is essential for keeping the transmission lubricated and preventing overheating. Leaks can be caused by damaged seals, a cracked transmission pan, or a faulty gasket. If you notice a burning smell along with a fluid leak, it may mean the transmission is overheating due to low fluid levels. Running a transmission with insufficient fluid can lead to major internal damage, so it’s best to address leaks immediately.

5 Symptoms of a Brake Problem that Should Be Promptly Addressed

By Cruz-N-Carz • February 12, 2025
When brakes start to fail, your ability to stop in time is compromised, putting you and others at risk. Recognizing the early warning signs of brake trouble can help you address issues before they become more serious. At Cruz-N-Carz, our local mechanics provide expert brake repair in the greater Pearland, TX area. Here are five common signs of a brake problem. Squealing or Grinding Noises A high-pitched squealing sound usually means that the brake pads are worn down and need replacement. If you hear a grinding noise, the situation is more severe, as it often means the brake pads are completely worn out, and metal is rubbing against metal. This can cause significant damage to the rotors, leading to costly repairs. Vibrations When Braking If you feel vibrations when slowing down, it could mean that your brake rotors are warped. Warped rotors create an uneven surface, causing the brake pads to make inconsistent contact. This can affect braking performance and make it harder to stop smoothly. If you experience this, have your rotors inspected. Soft Brake Pedal If your brake pedal feels soft or spongy when you press down on it, this could indicate a problem with the hydraulic system. Air in the brake lines or low brake fluid levels can cause this issue. If your car is leaking brake fluid, you’ve got a major safety hazard that means you should get towed to the shop. Brake Warning Light If your brake warning light comes on, it could mean several things, from low brake fluid to faulty wheel speed sensors. If this light illuminates, it’s essential to have your braking system checked for the underlying problem. Ignoring the light could lead to brake failure at the worst possible moment. Pulling to One Side When your vehicle pulls to one side while braking, it could indicate a stuck caliper. This can make it hard to maintain control of your vehicle, especially in emergency braking situations. Because this poses a major safety risk, it needs to be addressed ASAP.
