The Top Ten Reasons For Transmission Problems

The Top Ten Reasons For Transmission Problems

by Trans Works / Wednesday, 17 September 2014 / Published in Transmission

When it comes to keeping your transmission in tip top shape, there are some simple maintenance guidelines that need to be followed. However failure to abide by these guidelines can result in transmission failure. Experts in the industry will benefit because you will need to pay them to fix whatever errors are plaguing your vehicle. However if you take the right precautions beforehand, you can avoid the often costly visit to the mechanic.

First Reason: Lack of Maintenance
Not getting your vehicle checked in a timely manner is one of the primary reasons for transmission failure. If your vehicle fails to perform as it should, you will benefit from taking it into the mechanic immediately before the problem is exacerbated. The transmission is one of the central components of your car that requires regular maintenance to perform as it needs to.

Second Reason: Transmission Fluid

In addition to maintenance, it is necessary to check the transmission fluid at all times. Due to the high operating temperatures in the gears, adequate levels of transmission fluid are needed to cool them down. Taking note of fluid levels can help to stave off disaster.

Third Reason: Cables and Wiring
Every transmission contains a series of linkage connections which need to be adequately maintained. If there are any fractures or tears in the wiring or cabling, this can result in complete system failure.

Fourth Reason: Vehicle History
Make certain you uncover any reports of damage when purchasing a car. This is especially important if there has been damage to the transmission.

Fifth Reason: Overall Engine Performance
Damage to the engine could filter over and affect the transmission adversely.

Sixth Reason: Faulty or Worn Out Parts

If the parts in your car need to be replaced, this can put undue stress on the transmission.

Seventh Reason: Computing concerns
Car models that are newer make use of computer diagnostics and any damage to this computing system can result in transmission damage as well.

Eight Reason: Electronic Components
Electronic sensors just like computing systems are used to detect and monitor any problems with the engine of the vehicle. Failure to the electronic system can result in further damage.

Ninth Reason: Towing Weight

If a heavy vehicle is used to tow, it can severely affect the transmission performance. Towing vehicles require more standard transmission checks than any other type of vehicle.

Tenth Reason: Weather
Because of the intense nature of operating conditions, the transmission is affected by fluctuations in the weather.
