Unmasking Transmission Noises: Expert Tips for Truck Owners

Tyler Spangler

Published on: 27/07/2025

Truck Transmission Specialists, Luke and Tyler, explain that noises from your truck's transmission can stem from various issues: low transmission fluid, worn components, sensor malfunctions, solenoid problems, and torque converter troubles. Low fluid levels can cause whining, grinding, or clunking when shifting gears, while worn gears, bearings, and synchronizers can lead to whining, humming, or grinding noises. Faulty sensors and solenoids can disrupt the transmission's performance, resulting in rough shifting and associated noises. Torque converter issues may produce rattling, grinding, or whining sounds, particularly noticeable at idle or during acceleration. Regular checks and early intervention can prevent costly repairs, and for precise diagnosis and expert repair, truck owners are encouraged to consult Truck Transmission Specialists.

Crucial Truck Transmission Sensors: The Key to Smooth Shifting and Efficiency

Tyler Spangler

Published on: 11/07/2025

Modern truck transmissions use sensors like the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and Transmission Speed Sensor (TSS) to ensure optimal performance and safety. The TRS communicates gear selection to the engine control module, helping to prevent accidental starts, control reverse lights, and maintain cruise control functionality. On the other hand, the TSS measures the output shaft's rotational speed, enabling smooth gear shifts and fuel efficiency. Malfunctions in these sensors can cause issues such as difficulty shifting gears, inaccurate speedometer readings, and decreased fuel economy. To avoid these problems, it's crucial to consult experts like the team at TTS, who specialize in truck transmissions for brands like Ford, Dodge, GMC, and Chevy and can deliver high-quality, reliable repair services.
