What makes the transmission spin?
As your engine generates torque (the force that generates rotation), your transmission uses different gear ratios that regulate the rotational energy in order to spin the wheels. In a manual transmission, this is achieved by you engaging the clutch with every gear change.
What are the signs of a transmission problem?
Harsh Shifting. One of the first signs of transmission problems is when your transmission shifts hard. When your transmission slams into gear it can be a sign of abnormal pressures, worn components or even a low fluid level.
What does it mean when your transmission is slipping?
Transmission slipping is when the engine transmission systems register errors in shifting. In a manual car, the problem always stems from the clutch being faulty.
Why does my transmission not go into gear?
Shifts are delayed or missing gears If your transmission takes a while to go into gear, you may have a low transmission fluid condition because of a leak or contamination due to lack of maintenance or even water intrusion during off road or flooding conditions.
What does it mean when your transmission slams into gear?
When your transmission slams into gear it can be a sign of abnormal pressures, worn components or even a low fluid level. Start by checking your transmission fluid level and condition on the dipstick. If you find a low fluid level, ad BlueDevil Transmission Sealer and top off the fluid to get things back to normal.

What causes gears to spin at the same speed?
By having the two gears spinning at the same speed during the shift, gear synchronizers create a smooth, seamless shifting experience. Worn gear synchros are a common manual transmission problem, and if untreated, can cause transmission failure. A worn clutch is another common manual transmission problem.
Why is my transmission slipping in my car?
Transmission slipping or engine is revving high. This condition can also be caused by low transmission fluid, contamination due to lack of maintenance or water intrusion, or internal wear and tear on the transmission parts inside the transmission.
