Here’s a list of signs that might indicate your automatic gearbox needs to be repaired:

1. Difficulty in Shifting Gears: If your vehicle resists or delays shifting gears, it may signal an issue with your automatic gearbox.

2. Strange Noises: A whining, clunking, humming or buzzing sound when you’re in neutral could be a sign of gearbox problems.

3. Gear Slippage: If your vehicle is changing gears without any action on your part, or if your car is struggling to stay in gear, this could point to a problem with your gearbox.

4. Delayed Vehicle Response: When shifting from “Park” to “Drive” or “Reverse,” a delay before the car engages is a classic sign of an automatic gearbox issue.

5. Gearbox Fluid Leak: Transmission fluid is crucial for the gearbox’s operation. If you notice red fluid pooling under your vehicle, it might suggest a leak in your automatic gearbox.

6. Illuminated Warning Light: An illuminated check engine light could indicate a range of issues, including those related to the gearbox.

These symptoms could point to other vehicle issues as well, but if you notice any of them, it’s recommended that you consult with an automatic gearbox specialist for a thorough diagnostic.

There are several factors that can contribute to a gearbox becoming faulty. Some of the most common causes include:

1. Lack of maintenance: Regular maintenance, including changing the gearbox oil and replacing worn parts, can help prevent damage to the gearbox.

2. Wear and tear: Over time, the gears and other components of the gearbox can become worn, leading to issues such as grinding or difficulty shifting.

3. Overheating: Excessive heat can damage the gearbox and cause it to fail. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including driving at high speeds for extended periods or towing heavy loads.

4. Contamination: Dirt, debris, or other contaminants can get into the gearbox and cause damage to the gears and bearings.

5. Manufacturer defects: In some cases, the gearbox may have been manufactured with a defect that causes it to fail prematurely.
