If your car will not shift into gear no matter what you do, then you most likely have a transmission problem. There is also a chance that it is your car's computer system that needs to be reset. If you have reset it and it still will not go into gear, then it is the transmission.

Why bring your car’s transmission work to our experts? Why does a heart patient see a cardiologist? It’s expertise you need, so don’t trust your transmission to a shop that specializes in oil changes or any other general practitioner. Bring it to the pros.

Although they don't need to be changed as frequently as your car’s fuel, oil, or air filters, transmissions do have filters that remove gunk, dirt, and contaminates from the transmission oil. When the filter is clogged or dirty, performance is compromised.

Automatic transmission fluid is also vulnerable to heat, friction, degradation and oxidation over time, which can cause the important components of the transmission to clog. Therefore, it is vital to take your vehicle for regular transmission inspection.

A sign of a problem with the transmission in an automatic is when it changes gears; shuddering, slipping, and shimmying are warnings that there may be a problem, and it should not be ignored. Fix a small problem before it becomes a major headache.

It’s important to understand that your car's transmission needs to be maintained and inspected regularly to keep your vehicle running properly. Indeed, a well-maintained transmission can last the lifetime of your car.

The shift linkage, harness connections and ground connections are vital to transmission performance. That’s why they’re among the first things we check during a routine maintenance visit or when you experience transmission issues.

Did you know that the first auto transmission technologies were first developed in the early 1900s? Germany soon applied the latest in gear and transmission technology for use in military and marine applications.

The color of automatic transmission fluid in a healthy state is bright red and has a somewhat sweet smell. Finding this on the ground means that you have a small leak somewhere that is easily remedied with a transmission service. Black or burnt smelling fluid is more serious.

If your car has been in an accident, or you’ve had major engine repair work done, arrange to have the transmission linkage checked and realigned. Why? The car won’t shift into the correct gear if the linkage is out of alignment.

Did you know that the automatic transmission was invented in 1940 by a team of brothers from Boston? The Sturtevant brothers’ first transmission originally had two forward speeds governed by flyweights that were driven by the engine.

One of the most obvious signs of a transmission problem is when your transmission leaks out onto the ground. In fact, this is a concern that needs to be addressed immediately before it becomes something much more serious and costly.

You should get your transmission checked in case you hear a lot of noise when the car is idling or if you feel that the engine is quite hard to start.
