Transmission Installation & Looking for Transmission Problems
The transmission is often one of the forgotten systems within your vehicle that if it not serviced regularly may end in you requiring a new transmission installation or major repair.
These are both potentially expensive and will require the services of a transmission expert.
Rather than ignoring the required servicing of your car, you are much better to maintain regular visits to your mechanic to ensure that the transmission fluid is kept at required levels, and that your transmission is checked by your mechanic to find any transmission problems early.
The longer you drive your vehicle with a transmission problem, potentially the more expensive the repair will end up being.
Transmission issues will vary depending on whether you drive a manual or automatic transmission car, but can include:
– engine or warning lights flashing on your dashboard
– car is lagging or pulling
– problems with changing gears
– grinding, buzzing and clunking noises
Automatic transmissions are run by quite complicated computers in modern vehicles. This means that cars are able to be more responsive on the road, but also that if anything goes wrong, you will need to see a transmission expert to have the issue checked. Specialist transmission repairers have the specific electronic testing equipment to quickly diagnose the problem for you, and to get you back on the road as quickly as possible.
Manually geared vehicles may be simpler to repair when they have a transmission problem, but that does not mean you can just forget about the transmission. The transmission in a manual car still requires lubrication to make sure all the working parts are moving cleanly. Rough changes of gear, and riding the clutch will wear out your transmission system faster and could lead to a replacement transmission being required.
