How Often Should You Have Transmission Repair Work Done?

It’s wise to incorporate transmission inspection and repair into your routine maintenance schedule. When you get your tires rotated and your oil changed, also have the transmission fluid examined, and flushed if needed. Of course, you shouldn’t hesitate to take your car in for transmission repair at the first sign of a problem.

Understanding Your Transmission Repair Needs

How much power does your engine need to generate? That’s a question you don’t have to think about, because your automatic transmission does it for you. That’s ultimately what a vehicle’s transmission is all about—regulating the power from the engine to match the current speed, ensuring optimal performance. Of course, this involves some wear and tear—as well as depletion of transmission fluid—so transmission maintenance is a must. But what should vehicle owners know about their transmission, and about the urgency of regular transmission repair?

The Benefits of Your Transmission System

To understand what makes a transmission so important, think of a bike. When you pedal in a low gear, you can get great acceleration, but usually not much speed. Once you start coasting along a flat surface, you can switch to a higher gear and start improving that speed. Your car’s transmission does basically the same thing, modulating your power to ensure optimal performance.

Time for Transmission Repair?

Vehicle owners should know that, sooner or later, they may experience problems with their transmission. There are a few telltale signs you should be alert for: Strange rattling or whining noises when the car shifts gears; the car slipping out of gear at random times; or general difficulty with the gear shift process. If you notice any of these issues, that means there could be a problem with your transmission. You’ll want to schedule transmission maintenance at Meineke in Wichita KS—sooner rather than later!
