Local Murray UT Transmission Service Keeps Your Car Running Smoothly

By Lakisha Curtsinger


Today's vehicle transmissions are designed to provide long service. In fact, they can last for as long as you own the car if you take proper care of them. Yet, even the most durable and heavy duty transmissions can fail without maintenance. These tips from your local Murray UT transmission repair shop will help keep your vehicle running smoothly.

Don't be in a hurry to leave for work in the morning. Let your engine warm up first. This is especially important on cold days. Once the engine is warm, the fluid can get to the inner parts better, and provide maximum lubrication.

Make sure to service transmissions as recommended by the manufacturer. As a general rule, you should have the fluid and filter changed every year. Never go longer than 30,000 miles before a fluid change. While changing the fluid, your technician will look for signs of problems which can help you avoid trouble down the road.

Check your transmission fluid at least once a month. You can do this when you check the oil, tires, engine, and suspension. Make sure the engine is warm, running, and the car is in "park". Wipe the dipstick completely and then re-insert it into the tube. Pull the dipstick and check the level. Also, look underneath your car for any leaks. Leaking fluid is a sign there is a problem which needs tending to.

To keep transmissions healthy they need to stay cool. In fact, heat is one of the main reasons for failure. Before you plan to tow, install an auxiliary radiator even if you only tow occasionally. This will keep everything cooler, as you tow your boat, RV, or other equipment.

If your car is not shifting right, jerking, or suddenly slamming into gear, take it to your shop as soon as you can. When you fix these things in the early stage you can avoid major problems like breakdowns. Major repairs can be very expensive.
