Spotting Hidden Issues: Key Transmission Warning Signs for GMC Truck Owners

Tyler Spangler

Published on: 23/04/2025

Transmission issues in GMC trucks can be a real headache, with common problems including oil pump and input shaft bearing failures. An oil pump is crucial for circulating fluid, and its failure can cause slipping gears, delayed shifting, unusual noises, a check engine light, and a burning smell. Preventative maintenance, such as regular fluid changes, using the correct fluid type, avoiding heavy towing, and driving smoothly, can help prevent these issues. The input shaft bearing, on the other hand, is essential for transferring power from the engine to the transmission, and its failure can result in unpleasant noises, performance issues, leaking fluids, or a burning smell. Early detection of these symptoms is crucial, so if you notice any of these signs, consult Truck Transmission Specialists for a thorough inspection and prompt resolution.

If you're experiencing a bumpy ride or strange noises from under your truck, you might have a transmission crossmember issue. Common signs include clunking or banging noises during acceleration or gear shifting, visible damage like cracks or rust on the crossmember, and misalignment of the transmission and driveshaft. To fix the issue, you may need to replace the crossmember if the damage is extensive, tighten any loose bolts according to manufacturer specifications, or replace worn rubber mounts to reduce vibration and noise. If you're unsure about making these repairs yourself, consulting a qualified mechanic is advisable.

If your truck's transmission starts making whining, grinding, or clunking noises, it’s crucial not to ignore them as they signal underlying issues that could lead to costly repairs. Whining noises may indicate low transmission fluid, worn bearings, or damaged gears, while grinding sounds often stem from worn synchronizers, clutch issues in manual transmissions, or damaged gears. Clunking sounds can be caused by a loose transmission mount, damaged CV joints, or severely worn gears. Early detection and addressing these problems can save you significant time, money, and inconvenience.
