An AAMCO certified technician can diagnose a lot of transmission problems, just by looking at the level and quality of your transmission fluid. Here's some tips from the pro's at AAMCO you can perform by looking at your car's transmission fluid in your own garage or driveway.

If you see low fluid levels, you may have a leak. See your local AAMCO of El Cajon dealer for our TranScan check and identify any small leak before it becomes a big headache.

The color and condition of your transmission fluid can quickly help you identify if you have a transmission problem:

	Normal fluid is reddish-brown and translucent, with no particular odor
	Contaminated fluid has water or particles in the fluid.
	Burnt fluid indicates damage from overheating.
	Varnished fluid has been overheated repeatedly.

If you notice burnt, varnished, or see particles in your transmission fluid, bring your car into AAMCO of El Cajon immediately so we can diagnose your transmission problem so you don't break down or before it requires a more costly repair.
