A Burning Smell

• No matter the source, a burning smell in a
  vehicle can indicate a serious problem. Although
  it can be indicative of many issues, its a
  common sign of overheating transmission fluid,
  which can be a sign of a failing transmission.
  Since its impossible to diagnose the source of a
  burning smell in your vehicle, you should visit a
  mechanic as soon as you notice the smell.

A Buzzing Sound

• Unusual sounds coming from your vehicle is never
  a positive sign. Theyre also usually a strong
  indicator of serious issues, for instance a
  buzzing or humming sound can indicate
  transmission problems. If these sounds are
  ignored and your vehicle unchecked, additional
  damage may occur. Never ignore any buzzing,
  humming, whining or clunking.

5
Leaking Transmission Fluid

• Fluid shouldnt leak from your car, especially
  transmission fluid. Leaking transmission fluid
  can be one of the most obvious signs of a failing
  transmission, but its not one of the easiest
  signs to identify. If you suspect fluid leakage,
  perform a simple test to confirm. When your
  vehicle is parked, place cardboard underneath,
  and after a few hours, remove the cardboard to
  check for wet spots or stains indicating leakage.
  If your vehicle is leaking, take it in for an
  inspection.

No Response When Switching Gears

• No response when attempting to switch gears is a
  sign of transmission trouble that most people
  recognize. A transmissions primary purpose is to
  allow the vehicle to switch gears immediately.
  Failing to switch gears right away or a delayed
  response indicates major transmission problems.
