Transmission failure affects both safety and performance in these ways:

Loss of drive: The car may become immobilized, which is dangerous in traffic o r on highways.

Unpredictable gear behavior: Slipping o r sudden engagement can cause accidents.

Increased stress on other components: Engine, brakes, and drivetrain may experience additional wear.

Financial cost: Full transmission replacement o r repair is expensive.

Emergency Measures:

Shift to neutral and safely pull over if transmission fails while driving.

Turn on hazard lights and avoid sudden maneuvers.

Call for professional towing instead of attempting to drive a vehicle with a failing transmission.

Keep emergency contact numbers and insurance details readily available.
