Your Transmission might be blown if your car won’t move at all. There are many reasons that your transmission may have blown or failed.
It can be incredibly frustrating or scary when you have to deal with transmission problems with your vehicle, especially when they are caused by poor manufacturing or design. One factor you can control, however, is to make sure you keep your vehicle’s transmission regularly maintained — especially replacing the transmission fluid. Another thing that can destroy your transmission that is entirely under your control are your driving habits. If your vehicle is stuck, you suspect you have transmission issues, or even just need help scheduling regular transmission maintenance, AAMCO Central Florida has you covered! Schedule an appointment today and our expert transmission mechanics will get your vehicle up and running in no time.

Poor design and manufacturing leads to inevitable failure
Failure due to your transmission being poorly build is one of the most difficult reasons to accept. It can cost you a lot of money and headache to deal with the maintenance and, inevitably, the repair or replacement even when you did nothing wrong. On the automaker’s part, the poor manufacturing can often be caused by cheap parts and little to no quality assurance on the production line. AAMCO is one of the most trusted names in the nation for transmission repairs and rebuilds and we only use high quality parts for our services and our work is guaranteed by the best nationwide warranty.
Poor design and manufacturing leads to inevitable failure
It’s essential to make good habits when it comes to transmission maintenance. A poorly built transmission will suffer much worse and cost more money if it is not properly maintained. You can destroy your transmission if you use the wrong transmission fluid types or use incorrect amounts of fluid. Having too little or too much fluid is often caused by a poor or nonexistent maintenance schedule. Having your transmission fluid levels checked regularly or exchanged/flushed according to the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule will ensure that you have nothing much to worry about. If you check the fluid yourself, be sure to check the colors as well as the levels. Refer to the colors below to determine the health of your transmission fluid.
New ██ — Good/Ok ██ — Time to Change ██ — Burned/Ineffective ██
Keep your transmission properply maintain to increase its life expectancy and slow down its demise.
Destroying your transmission with bad driving habits
The health and lifespan of your car’s transmission are affected by both driving conditions and your own driving habits. Driving in stop-and-go city traffic is tough on your vehicle and so can aggressive acceleration, taking a toll on every part of your vehicle, especially your transmission.
What are some signs that your transmission is blown, cooked, or completely broken?
Poor performance accompanied by vibrations and sounds
If your car starts vibrating and making strange noises like grinding or high pitched whining, it’s most likely that your transmission is suffering. If you notice that your car has trouble accelerating or moving at all but you hear the engine speed up or rev, you’re experiencing the transmission gears slipping. Low acceleration or slowness, whining sounds accompanied by lag in starting from a stop, or even sudden surging, are signs you’re about to be paying for transmission repairs, rebuild, replacement – or a new car. These issues can also make your vehicle incredibly unsafe and unreliable.
Poor shifting performance
If you hear and feel a sudden hard “clunk!” that jolts your car or your car feels like it’s constantly chugging and shaking when you shift, then you most likely have a failing transmission. If your vehicle shifts gears without warning at any speed or refuses to go into any gear, the transmission is either about to fail or has already failed. If the gear shift in your car is difficult to get into gears, causes grinding noises, or just won’t move at all, the transmission is dying or has died. An automatic transmission should shift smoothly and noiselessly, so vibrations, changes in performance, or strange sounds, are all indicators of transmission trouble.
Extreme heat from the transmission
Failure due to your transmission being poorly build is one of the most difficult reasons to accept. It can cost you a lot of money and headache to deal with the maintenance and, inevitably, the repair or replacement even when you did nothing wrong. On the automaker’s part, the poor manufacturing can often be caused by cheap parts and little to no quality assurance on the production line.
