How to get more out of your transmission
One of the repairs that will cost you a lot on a car is having the transmission done. It is one of those repairs you hate to hear you have to do. So of course most people want to know how to make it last longer. Or they want to know if it is even possible. Like most things it is possible.You can do things that will help it last longer and that is by taking care of it. But here are more specific things you can do to make your transmission last longer.
First thing you always want to do is maintain proper fluid level.Just like most things in your vehicle you want to have your fluids at the right level. But with a transmission it is crucial if you want your car to last longer. Whenever a client takes there car in to the La Costa transmission repair shop I run I always check their fluids.I make sure to suggest to them to keep a watchful eye on their fluid levels.If they try to operate their car with low fluid levels they are going to ruin their transmission.Or it will not give them as much life as they want.
Second thing they can do is that heat kills transmissions.So you are going to want to find ways to get your transmission to run cooler.One of the ways that work best is by adding in some transmission cooler. You can easily find it at most auto parts dealers. Of course when clients come and bring their cars in to our Vista auto repair shop we add it in also.This gives the transmission the ability to run cooler.
Lastly here is one that is easy.Don’t ever try to shift the gears while your car is moving.You will be shocked at how many people do ruin their vehicles because they shifted the gear while the car was in motion. I am not because we see it all the time in our La Costa auto repair shop.People will have their cars brought in and they will have ruined transmissions because of this very thing.
