Yes. If your transmission is slipping, not shifting correctly, or low on fluid, it can seriously impact how your vehicle accelerates. You may press the gas and feel hesitation or jerking — a clear sign something isn’t right under the hood.
Why does my car feel sluggish even though the engine sounds fine?
This often points to a transmission issue. The transmission transfers power from your engine to the wheels. If it’s not functioning properly, your engine may rev loudly without delivering smooth acceleration.
Could ignoring this damage other parts of my car?
Absolutely. Driving with a bad transmission can strain your engine and drivetrain, leading to more expensive repairs down the road. Early diagnosis can prevent a minor fix from becoming a major one.
What should I do if I notice slow acceleration?
Get your transmission checked immediately. Delays can lead to complete transmission failure. Our team at Luis Transmissions offers expert diagnostics and honest solutions to get you back on the road — fast.
