How do I know if my Kia Rio's transmission is working properly?

I recently purchased a used Kia Rio and I'm not sure if the transmission is working as it should. How can I tell if there are any issues with it?

To test the transmission, try driving on both city streets and on the highway at different speeds. Pay attention to any strange noises or vibrations, as well as how smoothly the car shifts gears. If you notice any issues, it's best to take it to a mechanic for a proper diagnosis.

One easy way to check for transmission problems is to check the fluid level. If the fluid is low, it could indicate a leak or another issue. Also, if the fluid is discolored or has a burnt smell, it's a sign that the transmission is not working properly.

Another way to determine if your transmission is functioning correctly is to look for warning lights on your dashboard, such as the check engine light or a transmission temperature warning. If these lights are illuminated, it's best to have your car checked by a professional as soon as possible.
