We don't like to see anyone stranded. Below
are some helpful tips for diagnosing problems yourself.
Signs you are having Transmission Problems:
 |
Problems occurring when a transmission
is trying to make a gear change. |
|
|
A noise associated with the problem
or just general noises from the transmission. |
|
|
Problems occurring when you first put
the transmission in gear. |
|
|
Problems occurring when the vehicle
is hot or cold. |
|
|
Problems occurring when accelerating,
or stopping. |
Diagnosing the problem yourself:
|
First check if you have sufficient
transmission fluid. Although different vehicles have different
ways to access the transmission fluid level, the general rule
is you measure the fluid with the transmission in park. If you
see you do not have sufficient fluid, fill the transmission
to the proper level (as instructed in your manual). Test drive
the vehicle, if you no longer feel the problem, wait a day and
recheck the fluid and underneath the vehicle. If it is low,
the most likely problem is a fluid-leak. A leak, no matter how
small, must ALWAYS be checked by a qualified technician. |
|
|
If you find that your transmission
is not leaking, but a problem persists, take your vehicle to
a qualified technician. The problem may be so minor that you
may not even be charged. However, a qualified technician may
be able to diagnose a major problem before it occurs and recommend
minor service. |

Steps to take to avoid Transmission Problems:
|
From ATRA Customer Bulletin:
Vehicles which are driven occasionally or for short distances
are in many cases subjected to unusual wear and strain. For
example, cars that are driven short distances, consistently
never have the opportunity for the engine to warm up to the
normal heat range. This can cause excessive engine wear.
Relatively, low mileage transmissions which are regularly used
in city or stop and go conditions are subject to much higher
wear than transmissions of the same mileage which are used under
normal or primarily highway conditions. It is important to note
that that it is not necessarily the mileage on a transmission
which determines probable wear. Rather, it is the number of
times the transmission has been run through its start-up and
shift cycles that determines probable wear.
Many other seemingly normal driving conditions can affect transmission
life. Things like extreme climate conditions either cold or
hot, mountainous, driving, motoring problems which are associated
with snow or ice (and a host of others) can take their toll.
Under 'normal' driving conditions vehicle manufacturers recommend
servicing your transmission as seldom as every 100,000 miles.
As you can see from the limited examples above, very few motorist
fit into the ideal or 'normal' driving condition category.
If you operate your vehicle under more extreme conditions, more
frequent transmission servicing will be necessary to maximize
transmission life. Servicing your transmission yearly seems
to be an industry average. Under the most extreme conditions,
even more often may be advisable and you may want to install
an external transmission cooler for additional protection. |
