Did you know that bringing your car in for repairs at the first sign of trouble is the best way to control repair costs? Letting us fix the problem early will help ensure it doesn’t have time to spread to other systems in your car.

04/30/2024

Do you have a habit of procrastinating on cleaning your car? Hey, we all do it, although cleaning it could make you feel very proud about your car, but in a bit more of an extreme case, riding around in a dirty car is actually highly illegal in Russia.

04/25/2024

If your car has been in an accident, or you’ve had major engine repair work done, arrange to have the transmission linkage checked and realigned. Why? The car won’t shift into the correct gear if the linkage is out of alignment.

04/23/2024

Does your car start, and then die when you try to put it into gear? The most likely culprit here is a transmission that has finally given up, but that doesn’t mean you have to. Getting it fixed can be quick and easy when taken to a pro.

It’s important to remember that issues with your transmission caused by inadequate fluid levels aren’t always the result of a poorly-maintained vehicle. Even if you check the fluid levels often, there could still be a leak or faulty seal.

04/16/2024

If your engine has overheated, have the transmission fluid tested as well to determine how well it stood up to the heat. Excessive or prolonged heat can shorten the service life of the transmission fluid.

04/11/2024

Is your car not instantly going into gear when you shift? Even if it’s just a slight hesitation while driving, this is a good sign of a transmission problem, and you should have an expert look at it to prevent the problem from getting any worse.

04/09/2024

The amount of wear and tear on your transmission adds up over the years, so it's no surprise that they'll start having problems. These can get very serious, very quickly, so the best thing you can do is take them to a transmission expert as soon as you start having trouble.

04/04/2024

Did you know that the transmission in your car has its roots in windmills? Some of the biggest applications of early transmissions was in water mills and windmills that would use gear systems to transfer the wind or water power to the grinding stones.

04/02/2024

The onboard computer in your car coordinates almost all aspects of its various systems and functions. If the transmission slips, the computer compensates by increasing the line pressure to prevent further damage.

03/28/2024

Do you know the ideal temperature for your car’s engine? It works best at 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Increased temperatures lead to opening up of the coolant, forcing it to flow to the engine to cool it.

03/26/2024

If you will be towing your car a long distance without using it, the driveshaft should be disengaged to protect the drive train components from damage. Simply shifting to neutral may not be enough.

03/21/2024

Did you know that Americans led the way in deploying automatic car transmissions? By the 1980s, transmission options had evolved to include both automatic and manual transmissions, as well as overdrive and push-button shifting options.

03/19/2024

If you regularly tow a trailer or haul heavy loads, consider having an external cooler installed. The cooler reduces the heat and friction caused by the stress on the engine and helps prolong the life of your transmission.

03/14/2024

Some of the main functions of automatic transmission fluid are to act as a hydraulic fluid that transmits pressure and to lubricate and provide friction attenuation in bands and clutches for smooth shifting.

03/12/2024

How do manual transmissions compare to automatic transmissions? Manual transmissions are often cheaper and easier to maintain – plus manual transmissions usually offer higher fuel economy, although they are not preferred for stop and go traffic situations.

03/07/2024

If you hear noises when your transmission is in neutral, keep in mind that this might still be your transmission. In fact, noise from a transmission in neutral can indicate a serious issue such as mechanical wear (worn bearings or worn gear teeth, for example).

03/05/2024

If you have a problem with your knees or ankles, you’d go to a joint doctor instead of a heart or general doctor, right? The same is true with your car. When you have a problem with your transmission, you can expert the best service to come from a transmission specialist.

02/29/2024

While it may be fun when driving a manual transmission to shift on the fly, doing so too soon can cause problems with the transmission. Smooth shifting means there is no change in your car’s momentum.

02/27/2024

Checking the transmission fluid regularly will ensure that your transmission has a longer life. It’s not an easy task, as each car has a specific way to check the fluid. Having a pro at hand is well worth it.

02/22/2024

It is a common belief that manual transmission offers improved performance and more control for drivers. While it does make sense, today’s automatic transmissions are closing the performance gap.

02/20/2024

The older your car is, the greater attention you should pay to little signs of problems. Periodically place a sheet of cardboard under the transmission at night and check it in the morning for spotting that indicates leaking fluid.

02/15/2024

Did you know that the basic components of a transmission were already in place at the turn of the century? Transmission bands and planetary gears were used in the first manual transmission installed in the Model T Ford and the Model K of 1906.

02/13/2024

All modern automatic transmissions should shift smoothly and quietly under light acceleration. When you accelerate heavily you should experience firmer shifts at the higher speeds.

02/08/2024

Preventive maintenance of the transmission is good for you since your vehicle can be checked for any potential damages beforehand. It also saves you the stress of being stranded when your vehicle should otherwise be up and running.

02/06/2024

Using cruise control when there is water on the road, especially pooled water, causes the tires to turn at different speeds; this in turn forces the transmission and drive train to work harder. In rain, turn off the cruise control.

02/01/2024

Riding the brakes does more than just wear them down, it also affects the transmission because it forces it to work harder than it should to maintain the correct speed.

01/30/2024

Tempted to put off that transmission repair until you have a little more time or money? That delay can actually make the problem much worse, and much more expensive, so it’s a good idea to get your transmission repaired as quickly as possible.

01/25/2024

Many automatic transmissions use torque converters to transfer power to your transmission. Torque converters can have a variety of troubles, like worn bearings, but a transmission expert can repair any damage to your torque converter that would hurt your transmission.

01/23/2024

The various mechanical components of the transmission run on very precise margins to make sure that the transmission engages smoothly and quickly. This means that any delay or hesitation in shifting could mean the components have shifted off these precise margins.
