Can I still drive my car if the transmission is acting up?
With Mother’s Day weekend around the corner, road trips and family get-togethers are top of mind. But if your transmission has been slipping, making strange noises, or hesitating when shifting gears — should you still hit the road?
The short answer: no — or at least not without getting it checked out.
Driving with transmission issues is risky. Even minor symptoms can quickly turn into major repairs if ignored. A slipping gear or delayed response might seem manageable now, but if your transmission fails mid-trip, you could find yourself stranded with your family on the roadside — not the Mother’s Day memory you want to create.
Here’s why it matters:
- Transmission damage can worsen fast, especially with long-distance driving
- It could put passengers (like Mom) at risk if the car fails on the highway
- Towing and emergency repairs cost way more than early maintenance
