#TechTuesday BACK ON THE BENCH - It’s the Computer! https://gearsmagazine.com/magazine/its-the-computer/ As technology advances, proper diagnostics have become ...more and more important. While most internal transmission problems are obvious, with burnt fluid or grinding noises. Some problems that seem like they are in the transmission can be outside. And for most technicians, including myself, when the diagnostic path leads towards a computer issue, we tend to get nervous about making that call, . . . #gearsmagazine #automatictransmissions #transmissionrebuilders #diagnosing #atramembers #atra #GEARS #automotiverepair #technician #mechanic #wehaveafixforthat #6F35 #computer #FordEdge #transmissions #diagnosis #converter #fixes #transmissionbuilders #forward #reverse #solenoids #Ford #powertrain #valvebody #performance #testing #sema #solenoid #wire #clutches #problem #diagnostic See more

#WorkItWednesday Challenging Times A Dodge Challenger with an 845RE in Failsafe. A customer came into the shop with a 2016 Dodge Challenger with a 3.6L motor ...and an 845RE transmission with a no-shifting complaint.

Being a do-it-yourself kind of person, he jump-started his car a few times https://gearsmagazine.com//challenging-times-a-dodge-chal/ . . . #gearsmagazine #automatictransmissions #transmissionrebuilders #diagnosing #atramembers #atra #GEARS #automotiverepair #technician #mechanic #wehaveafixforthat #845RE #Failsafe #DodgeChallenger #transmissions #diagnosis #converter #fixes #transmissionbuilders #Dodge #battery #shifting #trucks #powertrain #valvebody #performance #testing #sema #solenoid #codeP1DD2-00 #TCM #P0335 #CrankshaftPositionSensorCircuit #diagnostic

#ManagementMonday The People Factor Still Important in Our Low-Touch World https://gearsmagazine.com//the-people-factor-still-import/ Many shops have start...ed to use surveys to encourage more reviews and to measure customer satisfaction. I caution you to use discretion when doing this. Make your surveys short and focused on what really matters. Don’t make customers jump through hoops to complete them. Before they start, tell them how many questions and how long it will take. . . . #gearsmagazine #automatictransmissions #transmissionrebuilders #atramembers #atra #GEARS #automotiverepair #management #strategies #wehaveafixforthat #transmissions #successstrategies #fixes #transmissionbuilders #Importantdecisions #focus #achievement #shopmanagement #thepeoplefactor See more

#FridayFacts Forced Induction Volumetric Efficiency If an engine is not boosting then it behaves the same as a naturally aspirated engine. This statement pert...ains to a VE measurement as well as fuel trim behavior. Once boost occurs operating conditions change. So, everything we have covered in the past for a naturally aspirated engine still applies with some new additional behaviors during boosted conditions on a forced induction engine. . . . #gearsmagazine #automatictransmissions #transmissionrebuilders #diagnosing #atramembers #atra #GEARS #automotiverepair #technician #mechanic #wehaveafixforthat #transmissions #diagnosis #fixes #transmissionbuilders #ForcedInduction #MAF #VolumetricEfficiency #chevycruze #minicooper See more

#ThinkaboutitThursday I’m Stuck On You! ... An old Elantra (2011), which you probably don’t see very often. But, you’re likely to see something similar on any o...ther car. ..This car had a condition where it worked fine, and then all of a sudden, it’d start bucking and jerking from a stop. And then, finally, it stopped shifting, and the check engine light came on. Seems pretty straightforward, right? . . . #gearsmagazine #automatictransmissions #transmissionrebuilders #diagnosing #atramembers #atra #GEARS #automotiverepair #technician #mechanic #wehaveafixforthat #transmissions #diagnosis #fixes #transmissionbuilders
