Both the automatic transmission and the manual transmission accomplish exactly the same thing but in totally different ways. The automatic uses a torque converter to switch gears, while the manual relies on a clutch.
If your transmission is shifting roughly, erratically, or if there are delays in shifting, it could be a number of things. Let our ASE certified professionals diagnose the problem and recommend needed repairs.
A parking brake does not only provide an added level of safety – especially when parking on slopes – but regularly using a parking brake will also help to reduce wear and tear on your transmission, particularly if you regularly park on a hill or incline.
One sign which can indicate trouble with the transmission is a hesitation or delay when changing gears – this is true for automatic and manual transmissions. If you notice an unusual delay in gear shifts, it is a good idea to have the transmission checked.
We understand that most car owners are working within a budget. The best way to keep your car running smoothly is to bring it to us at the first sign there might be a transmission issue.
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.
