Some vehicles are actually built with a smaller, secondary radiator (oil cooler) for the transmission. This helps keep your transmission from overheating, but like your main radiator can run into issues. Fortunately, a transmission expert can fix any problems you have.
After you’ve paid to have your car’s transmission issues fully repaired, it’s natural not to want to go through that again anytime soon. Let’s talk about how you can care for your car to get optimal transmission performance.
Did you know that the basic components of a transmission were already in place at the turn of the century? Transmission bands and planetary gears were used in the first manual transmission installed in the Model T Ford and the Model K of 1906.
A continuously variable transmission (CVT) uses a belt that connects two variable-diameter pulleys to provide an unlimited number of ratio changes and uninterrupted power to the wheels; CVT transmissions offer better fuel efficiency than conventional automatic transmissions, which change the transmission ratio by shifting gears.
No, turning up the volume to your radio will not fix the problem! If you’re hearing a whiny noise that seems to be coming from the floorboard of your car, you could have a problem with your automatic transmission. Have it looked at by a professional. The longer you ignore the noise, the more costly it will become.
Automatic transmissions typically have between 800 and 1,000 seperate parts that make up an entire unit. This is counting the clutch plates, "o" rings, and nuts and bolts.
