Catching the problem early can save the transmission. In Suzuki Khyber, warning signs of impending transmission failure due to low fluid include:

Common Early Symptoms:

Hard gear shifting o r gears refusing to engage

Unusual noises like whining, clunking, o r grinding during gear changes

Gear slippage, especially in 2nd o r 3rd gear

Burning smell from under the hood overheating fluid

Low fluid level when checked via the gearbox fill point

Action Steps:

If any of these signs appear, check for leaks underneath the car.

Refill the transmission fluid to the recommended level.

Get the system inspected by a mechanic to identify the leak source before it leads to a full failure.
