The longer you go without investigating, the greater the chance that a little problem could become a major repair bill. Do not ignore signs of trouble; if you think you have a transmission problem have it checked immediately.
Over time, your transmission can wear down, which can lead to the gears slipping. This is when the car randomly pops out of gear while driving, or the stick (in a manual) pops back to neutral. Transmission experts can track down the culprit and get it fixed.
Tomorrow's the last day to nominate so please, if you haven't already please nominate Strickland Transmissions. Voting will begin on September 9th. Thank you!

It is a new day people lets act nice to each other.
It’s important to remember that some transmission systems will be too far gone to simply be repaired. In some cases, it may be necessary to totally overhaul the system or replace it outright.
Even if your transmission is in neutral or park, if the engine is running, it is still functioning. Any unusual sounds or odors need to be checked out to make sure nothing is wrong.
Dual-clutch transmissions (DCT) have two clutches: one for even-numbered gears, the other for odd-numbered gears. As compared to a traditional automatic transmission, DCTs can reduce fuel consumption by 3% to 9%.
The power in your engine starts with the pistons, turns the crankshaft, connects to your transmission through the input shaft, exits the transmission through the output shaft, then goes to the wheels. If this seems confusing, don’t worry. A transmission expert will be able to keep things moving smoothly.
One of the benefits of having your transmission serviced is that you can avoid engine seizure or "lock up." An engine that is locked up will no longer drive as a result of excessive heat, which can seriously damage your engine.
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.
Transmission fluid is a transparent red oil that closely resembles cherry syrup. If your transmission fluid is either cloudy or muddy, or if it has a burnt smell to it, you should have it checked out by a professional.
If your vehicle is driven hard, tows a trailer or carries a camper, it should be brought to us for a fluid and filter change every 12,000 miles. Under heavy conditions the dirt and moisture that builds up can cause damage.
If your car's transmission shifts roughly, you may be low on fluid. Checking your transmission fluid at least twice a year can help you determine if you need additional fluid and whether you have a leak.
Don’t freak out if you feel different intensity levels of shifting at various speeds and acceleration levels. All modern automatic transmissions should shift smoothly and quietly under light acceleration. When you accelerate heavily you should experience firmer shifts at the higher speeds.
There are many different types of automatic fluids in the market with each having its own special blend of chemicals, oils and solids. As a vehicle owner, you must have knowledge about the fluid you are using in your transmission.
The automatic transmission uses a compound planetary gearset, which looks like a single gearset but actually behaves like two planetary gearsets combines. This unit has one ring gear that is always the output of the transmission, but has two sun gears and two sets of planets.
PUT YOUR MASK ON PEOPLE YOU ARE GETTING OTHERS SICK AGAIN.
According to a transmission remanufacturer, a transmission should last 100,000 miles even if it receives the minimal care. However, certain factors such as manufacturer defect or improper care can affect this figure.
Did you know that most vehicles use automatic transmission fluid for their power steering systems as well? If you notice a red oil coming from underneath your car, it could either be the transmission or power steering.
With a manual transmission, you have to engage the clutch whenever you come to a stop to separate the input shaft from the gears. An automatic transmission, on the other hand, uses a torque converter, which uses a combination of clutches and hydraulic fluid to transfer power.
Yes everything comes off just to see the transmission on this car.
I hope you are listening to your transmission trying to tell you something when it does weird things.
Has your transmission fluid color changed from bright-red to brownish-red? If yes, there is nothing to worry about. The fluid can change color because of heat and not necessarily a sign that your transmission is going bad.
At times you may notice that while driving or changing gears, your car tends to shake, sometimes quite violently. This is an indication that there may be some issues with your transmission or clutch and it may need repairs.
Come to a complete stop before shifting from first to reverse. Changing from first to reverse while in motion can strip the gears and weaken the transmission.
