Toyota Transmission Repair and Transmission Rebuild
Known for its performance and durability, the Toyota Tundra is a long-lasting truck. Though no matter how tough a truck is built, it is still susceptible to wear and tear. When a transmission is showing warning signs, it is best to get your Toyota Tundra checked before the problem becomes more extensive and costly.
Is your Toyota Tundra having unusual behavior? Think you are experiencing warning signs of a transmission problem? Let’s review some common signs of a transmission problem for Toyota Tundra:
Common Transmission Warning Signs for the Toyota Tundra
1. Slipping Gears
One of the most common warning signs is when your Toyota is slipping gears or failing to properly engage. The feeling can be described as a sudden engine rev while driving but the vehicle is not accelerating. As if it was shifting into neutral without you putting it in neutral.
2. Delay in Shifting
Is your Toyota Tundra hesitating before it shifts into gear? Any jerking or clunking can be due to a delay in shifting. Harsh or delayed shifting means that there is a problem, whether it is a solenoid problem, low transmission fluid, or worn parts.
3. Strange Noises
Any unusual noises, such as whining, grinding, or humming, when shifting or in neutral is not a good sign for your Toyota Tundra. Strange noises are a sign of inadequate lubrication, damaged gears, of a failing bearing.
4. Leaking Fluid
A red to brown colored fluid underneath your Toyota Tundra is a strong sign of a transmission fluid leak. This can mean you have low transmission fluid, which can result in the transmission overheating or experiencing major damage to internal parts.
5. Burning Smell
When the transmission is overheating it produces a smell of burning. This may be caused by low transmission fluid and excessive friction to internal parts of the transmission.
6. Warning Light
The Check Engine Light should never be ignored, even if your Toyota seems to be acting fine. You can bring it to an automotive shop or simply take to an automotive store that can assist in finding the Check Engine light error code. If it is a transmission error code, don’t delay in bringing your Toyota Tundra to a transmission shop.
