Q: Can a bad transmission really cause my car to lose power while driving?
A: Yes — your transmission plays a key role in delivering engine power to the wheels. If it’s slipping, stuck in gear, or leaking fluid, your car can suddenly lose acceleration or feel sluggish even when the engine is running fine.
Q: How do I know it’s my transmission and not the engine?
Transmission issues often include delayed shifting, high RPMs with little movement, grinding noises, or dashboard codes like P0700. If the engine revs but the car won’t go, your transmission is likely the culprit.
Q: Will fixing my transmission restore power?
In most cases, yes! Addressing internal damage, replacing worn components, or refilling low transmission fluid can restore lost power and make your car drive like new again.
