What is a Manual Transmission?

A manual transmission is easy to recognize in a vehicle because it requires an extra pedal. The clutch is necessary to transfer power from the engine to the manual transmission, which causes the change in gears. Learning to drive a manual transmission is often harder than an automatic one because you must shift the gears manually. However, many people think it’s more fun. To keep your manual transmission in prime condition, you’ll need to make sure it has enough transmission fluid and that it is replaced periodically.

Problems You Can Experience with a Manual Transmission

The manual transmission may begin to fail if it gets damaged. Some signs of a failing transmission or one that needs service include the following:

The check engine light on your dashboard doesn’t shut off after you start the engine.
The vehicle doesn’t move normally even though the engine revs. It may not move at all, which could indicate a slipping clutch.
Grinding noises happen when the vehicle is running.
When you put the vehicle in neutral, it becomes loud.
Your vehicle delays moving after you shift gears.

If any of these signs apply to your vehicle, you need to have it serviced right away. You can schedule service with Stanley Ford Sweetwater, and we’ll let you know what’s wrong with your vehicle. We can run diagnostic tests that tell us which part needs to be replaced.

We also recommend regular fluid flushes to clean out the old transmission fluid and replace it with clean fluid. When the fluid is dirty, it doesn’t do as good of a job of lubricating the moving parts of the transmission.
