When transmission issues arise, they often get worse in a hurry, which can lead to extremely expensive repairs, or perhaps even transmission replacement. And it’s far more likely that transmission trouble will develop if you engage in some bad habits. In the event that your transmission does develop an issue you’ll want to address them ASAP. Otherwise, the problem could soon worsen and become much more expensive to address. At North Seattle Transmission, we provide expert transmission service in the greater Shoreline, WA area. Here are four ways that drivers cause transmission trouble.
Skip Transmission Fluid Exchanges
Transmission fluid provides fluid pressure, lubrication, rust prevention, and cooling. This makes it very important that you’re driving with the right amount of uncontaminated transmission fluid. Commonly, transmission fluid needs to be exchanged at some point between 30,000 and 50,000 miles, but you’ll want to check your owner’s manual for your car’s exact specification. If you skip transmission fluid exchanges, then you’ll be more likely to drive with polluted fluid, which could lead to serious transmission issues.
Don’t Check Transmission Fluid
Transmission fluid should be checked on a monthly basis, and it’s typically best to check it with the engine still running. If you never check your transmission fluid, you’ll be unlikely to know if your transmission fluid has gotten dangerously low or has started to burn.
Punch the Accelerator
If you regularly stomp down on the gas pedal, transmission and driveline parts are more likely to develop problems. The transmission may overheat if it doesn’t get the chance to cool back down after generating excessive torque.
Stomp On Brakes
When you slam on the brakes, damage to transmission mounts may occur, which can create a safety hazard. Along with reducing your risk of an accident, this is another good reason to always maintain a safe following distance.
