Frequently Asked Questions For Transmission Repair

What are the possible causes of a transmission failure?
Transmission failure may occur due to problems such as leakage of fluids, the system overheating, worn-out transmission fluids, or lack of proper care. The only thing that an average car owner can do to avoid a major problem is to ensure the fluids are checked frequently and changed as needed.
When should transmission fluid be changed?
Transmission fluid needs to be changed approximately 30K to 60K miles based on the make and model of the car. Check with your owner’s manual for the specific recommendations from the manufacturer.
Is it safe to drive a car with a transmission leak?
Driving with a transmission leak is not safe because the transmission may overheat due to low transmission fluid levels, which results in costly damage.
What happens if I do not deal with the transmission issues?
Failing to address transmission issues may result in pricey repair or in some worst case scenario, a total breakdown of the transmission. It is better to solve problems when they first arise because it will cost less than when allowed to complicate further.
Is it possible for my driving style to impact my transmission’s durability?
Yes, rapid acceleration and deceleration and occasionally pulling or towing heavy loads stress your transmission. It is important that you take care of your transmission by taking it for servicing as often as possible and also by driving cautiously.
How do I know my transmission fluid is low?
A deficiency in the transmission fluid leads to delays in the gear changes and unusual sounds. If you experience any of these, it is recommended that the fluid levels should be checked and probably added or replaced.
