Transmission failure has both safety and financial implications:

Safety Risks:

Sudden loss of drive o r inability to change gears can cause accidents, especially in city traffic o r highways.

Unpredictable gear behavior reduces control during overtaking o r emergency maneuvers.

Fuel Efficiency and Performance:
A failing transmission reduces power delivery, increases fuel consumption, and may overheat the engine.

Repair Costs:
Full transmission repair o r replacement in Pakistan can cost anywhere from PKR 400,000 to 900,000 or more for imported parts, depending on model and availability.

Prevention:
Timely fluid changes, using OEM parts, monitoring early warning signs, and avoiding aggressive driving in city traffic can significantly extend transmission life.
