Getting your transmission to go longer
One of the most costly repairs on a car is the transmission.It is a repair that you do that you really don’t want to hear you have to do.So without question people are searching for methods to get their car to last longer. Or they want to know if it is even possible. Like anything it is possible. You can make it last longer by making sure to take care of them.But here are some more things that are more specific in helping your transmission get more life.
First thing you have to do without fail is keep the proper levels of fluid.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 also recommend they always keep a close eye on their fluid levels. If they run their car with low fluids they will surely 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 will want to do some things that will help your transmission to run cooler. One of the best ways to do that is to add 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.
Finally here is a simple one.Do not ever attempt to shift gears while the car is in motion.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 have their cars come in with transmissions ruined because they tried to shift while it was moving.
