Transmission problems can be tricky, often involving multiple automotive systems. With modern cars, where a computer alongside other systems controls the transmission, issues elsewhere, like in the engine or cooling system, can lead to transmission issues. At the same time, it's easy to spot when your transmission isn't working right; figuring out why can be challenging. That's where the Renault service centre melbourne steps in. We're pros at diagnosing transmission problems, from simple fluid leaks to complex electrical issues messing with your transmission control module. Signs of Transmission Problems Leaking Transmission Fluid: Look for any puddles under your car. Check Engine Light: If it comes on, it could signal transmission issues, among other things. Transmission Slipping: Your car might feel like it's changing gears. Strange Noises: Odd noises such as clunks or grinding could indicate potential issues.

However, when temperatures drop, this process slows down significantly. In fact, once the mercury dips below freezing, your car battery loses about 35% of its power, making it less efficient at starting your vehicle. Adding to the challenge, the cold also causes engine oil to thicken, increasing resistance and requiring even more power from the battery to get the engine started.
