Why does my car jerk or hesitate when changing gears?
Jerky or delayed gear shifts are often caused by low or old transmission fluid, clogged filters, or worn internal components. In automatics, it might feel like a lag or sudden jump between gears. In manuals, the issue could be a failing clutch or gear synchroniser. While not always a major issue to begin with, these symptoms can quickly develop into bigger problems without attention.
What are the signs of transmission problems?
Transmission issues often show up in subtle ways at first, but they quickly become serious if ignored. Warning signs include slipping gears, delayed or harsh gear changes, a burning smell from overheating fluid, or visible leaks under the vehicle. Some drivers also notice unusual noises like whining, grinding, or clunking when shifting. Modern vehicles may trigger a dashboard warning light when the transmission control module detects a fault. Paying attention to these early symptoms and booking an inspection right away can prevent minor problems from turning into major failures that require a rebuild or replacement.
Why is differential servicing important?
The differential is a key part of the driveline that allows wheels to rotate at different speeds while still receiving power. Over time, the oil inside the differential becomes contaminated with metal particles and loses its ability to protect gears and bearings. Without fresh oil, friction and heat build up, leading to worn gears, noisy operation, and eventually complete failure. Regular servicing ensures the correct lubricant is used and that seals, bearings, and housings are inspected for leaks or wear. This is especially important for vehicles used in towing, off-roading, or long-distance driving, where the differential is under heavier load.
