What Does the Transmission Do?

Before we get into costs and maintenance tips for your transmission, it’s important to know what it actually does. Basically, the transmission is the element that makes sure power is distributed to your tires equally regardless of the drivetrain options. When you shift gears, your engine and transmission disconnect to adjust to a new drive position. However, if you have an automatic transmission, your vehicle switches automatically and adjusts the torque distribution in order to create a smoother acceleration when you step on the gas.

How to Lengthen the Life of Your Transmission

When investing in a replacement transmission, what are some ways to make the most of your investment in the Rome area? Follow these steps to potentially extend the life of your vehicle’s transmission: 

• Keep an eye on the Transmission Fluid: If your vehicle has low or dirty fluid, this can cause problems down the line. Either check the transmission fluid on a monthly basis or bring it to our service center to have this reviewed.
• Schedule Routine Service: If you would like your transmission running smoothly, we strongly recommend that you schedule routine service so that you can avoid transmission problems and avoid any breakdowns.
• Add Another Filter to the Cooler Line: Your vehicle’s transmission includes a filter that traps dirt and debris, so adding a second one can keep your fluid cleaner for longer.
