Starting to look like the 50's around here..
Having a transmission rebuilt is less expensive than replacing an entire transmission and includes replacing gears, pumps, bands and rotors.
A “dual clutch transmission” is like an automated manual transmission (also shifts itself) except it contains two gearboxes instead of one.
Did you know that Europeans refer to their vehicle’s transmission, not as a transmission, but instead as a gearbox? http://ow.ly/bpB6302kVZm
By “meshing” together many gears of different sizes, a mechanical system able to gear up or down is created. This is how transmissions work.
Loud mechanical sounds when your car up or down shifts (going up or coming down a hill or mountain,) is a sign of a transmission problem.
