G and stars

I had a fantastic experience at Mendo Motorz! First time customer. I brought my 2015 Nissan Pathfinder in for some work and they did an amazing job from diagnostic to getting it done! Everyone I talked to on the phone and in person were so friendly and explained everything that was happening so well. I had a great experience and will be recommending them to anyone I know who needs a reliable shop!

Top 5 Signs of Transmission Trouble

By Mendo Motorz & Transmissions • March 31, 2026
At Mendo Motorz & Transmissions in San Antonio, TX, we help drivers catch transmission problems early before they turn into costly repairs. Your transmission plays a critical role in how your vehicle shifts, accelerates, and performs overall. Recognizing the warning signs of trouble can save you time, money, and stress. Here are the top five signs that your transmission may need professional attention. Slipping Gears If your vehicle unexpectedly changes gears or struggles to stay in gear, this is a clear sign of transmission trouble. You might notice the engine revving higher than normal without an increase in speed. Gear slipping can affect both performance and safety, so it’s important to have it checked as soon as possible. Delayed or Rough Shifting A healthy transmission should shift smoothly and without hesitation. If you experience delayed engagement when shifting into drive or reverse, or feel hard, jerky shifts while driving, it could indicate internal wear or low transmission fluid. Addressing this early can prevent further damage. Transmission Fluid Leaks Transmission fluid is essential for lubrication and cooling. If you notice red or brown fluid under your vehicle, you may have a leak. Low fluid levels can quickly lead to overheating and internal damage, making this one of the most urgent signs to address. Burning Smell A burning odor coming from your vehicle may indicate that your transmission is overheating. This can be caused by old or low fluid, excessive friction, or internal issues. Ignoring this smell can lead to serious damage, so it’s best to have your vehicle inspected right away. Check Engine Light or Warning Indicators Modern vehicles rely on sensors to detect transmission issues. If your check engine light comes on, it could be related to transmission performance. While the light can indicate many issues, it’s always worth having a professional run diagnostics to identify the exact cause. If you’re experiencing any of these warning signs, don’t wait for the problem to get worse. The team at Mendo Motorz & Transmissions in San Antonio, TX is here to provide expert diagnostics and reliable repairs. Call us at  726-233-2226  to schedule an appointment or to request a quote for the cost of transmission repair in San Antonio for any car, truck or SUV.
