How long can I drive with a transmission leak?
Posted on October 30, 2024 | By wpcarsIf you’ve noticed that your transmission is leaking, then it’s not a good idea to keep driving your vehicle at all. If it seems to be a very small leak, then a 10 – 15 mile drive to get home or to a shop might be okay, but you really don’t want to push it when it comes to your transmission.
Your best bet is to get your vehicle to the shop right away before it gets worse. Slipping gears, overheating, delayed engagement… or even just a few odd noises are usually going to be soon to follow, so don’t wait. The longer you do, the more expensive the repairs might be and your transmission could fail completely.
