Karl's Transmission

Transmission fluid is relatively easy maintenance. While the transmission fluid is being changed, the system will be inspected for any leaks. The technicians will also take a look at the transmission itself. This kind of inspection will determine if poor transmission fluid has caused some other concerns. Preventative maintenance usually catches potential issues from becoming more costly ones. Come on by and have us check and evaluate your transmission fluid. Give us a call at 909-980-3157

Heat is the #1 enemy of an automatic transmission, and if you feel it struggling on a long mountain road in a higher gear, downshift it manually. This will bring your RPMs up, and will relieve stress on your transmission. If you notice your transmission slipping or not holding a gear, or it is continuing to search for gears, then it is recommended to be serviced immediately to avoid further damage.

We suggest you call us for an appointment if your car struggles to shift smoothly through the gears after an automatic transmission fluid change. It could be a sign of an improperly installed or cracked transmission fluid filter.

When you ride the brake of your car, it forces the transmission to work harder than it should. Once you have slowed down to the speed you want, take your foot off the brake unless you are at a stop sign or red light.

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.

On average, you lose about 15% of your vehicles horsepower from the engine to the real wheels. The power has to go through the transmission, driveshaft, and rear drivetrain before it can be applied to the ground.

While manual transmissions are much less complicated than automatic transmissions, they can have complications of their own. For example, the cable or linkage should be adjusted to just the right setting to make sure the clutch can fully disengage from the flywheel.

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.

Bringing your car in to us for regular transmission fluid and filter changes can be a great way to keep your automatic transmission running smoothly and keep it from having any major problems or setbacks. Transmission trouble can be expensive.

Manual transmissions tend to cause a grinding sound when they are having trouble. Usually, this will happen while trying to shift into a new gear. Even though the clutch is fully engaged, you'll still hear a grinding sound when you try to shift.

It’s important to remember that newer vehicle models often require more complicated repairs that earlier model cars do. If your car is a new model, it may not be suitable for DIY transmission repairs.
