Your transmission is one of those systems it’s easy to forget about—until a problem develops. Keep an eye (and a nose) out for these signs that you need INEOS Grenadier transmission service before it develops into a full-blown breakdown. If you find them, a quick stop at MileOne INEOS Grenadier will get you back on the road again.
Gear-Shifting Issues
Your transmission’s most important job is facilitating gear-shifting, so if you can’t smoothly swap between them, you probably have a transmission issue. Your car may refuse to swap between gears, but a more harmful issue is when it slips gears, abruptly shifting to a higher or lower gear for no reason. That can lead to dangerously erratic performance, so don’t put off maintenance.
Burning Smells or Shaking
Burning smells in your car are always a sign that you need service fast. If it turns out to be a transmission issue, this is probably caused by a low fluid level. You won’t be able to tell without having a mechanic take a look at it, though, and any unusual smells can mask other issues, so don’t delay in scheduling an inspection.
Fluid Leaks
If you regularly park your INEOS Grenadier in the same spot, especially if it’s inside, take a look underneath for any pooling liquid. Red or brown fluid means you have a transmission fluid leak, especially if it has a sweet smell. That means your transmission is probably dangerously dry, so you’ll need a team to fix the leak and flush your system.
Your Engine’s Working Harder
Your INEOS Grenadier uses a powerful and capable engine. However, its transmission helps the engine work smarter rather than harder. So if you notice that things like off-roading, handling inclines, or accelerating require more RPMs than usual, it’s time to have your transmission inspected.
Your Vehicle’s Less Efficient
Your engine working harder has another knock-on effect. If you notice you’re traveling the same distance as usual and your driving habits haven’t really changed, your transmission may be to blame. Spend the money on maintenance and repairs so you’re not being bled dry at the pump.
