How Does A Transmission Work?
The power generated by your vehicle’s engine first flows through the transmission before it reaches your wheels. The transmission controls the torque available to the drive wheels for different driving conditions. This is why you might change gears when you are driving uphill; you will need more torque in order for your vehicle to go up the hill efficiently. From there, the differential gives that power to your vehicle’s wheels on the same axle at the appropriate ratio. Four-wheel drive cars also have a transfer case, which transfers power to two differentials on different axles rather than to two wheels on the same axle.
While both automatic and manual vehicles have a transmission, we will focusing on manual transmissions here. Manual transmissions comprise of an input and output shaft, that are connected by a counter shaft. A three-speed mechanism will have three gears; two of these gears will be active at any given time depending on the gear your vehicle is in. This system gets more complex with the more gear options your vehicle has. If you are in or nearby Fort Worth, Monticello, Westover Hills, TCU university , or Fairmont, you can bring your car to Rick & Ray’s Auto Plaza for a transmission repair today.
How Do I Know If My Vehicle Needs A Transmission Repair?
We at Rick & Ray’s Auto Plaza in Fort Worth recommend changing your vehicle’s transmission fluid every 36,000 to 50,000 miles, whether it is an SMG transmission, a CVT transmission, or something else. Some signs that something is wrong with your transmission include:
There is a grinding or shaking sensation in the gear.
If your car grinds or shakes when you change gear, there is an issue with your transmission. This problem usually gets worse with time, so it is best practice to bring your vehicle to an auto repair shop as soon as you notice this problem.
Your vehicle makes whining or clunking noises.
These noises usually mean your transmission fluid is breaking down, or there is an internal problem with your transmission.
Your vehicle won’t engage when in gear.
If there is a delay in your car responding when you change gears, your transmission fluid could be breaking down or there may be a problem with your vehicle’s computer system. However, if neither of these things are the problem, there is an issue with your transmission.
You notice a burning smell coming from your vehicle.
This burning smell is likely your transmission fluid overheating, which can happen when there is not enough transmission fluid in your vehicle (which could indicate a leak) or the wrong type of transmission fluid is in your vehicle.
Your “Check Engine” light is on.
While this could mean a number of things, turning your “Check Engine” light is your vehicle’s computer’s way of telling you there is a problem, which could be with your transmission.
Your transmission is integral to a safe driving experience, so when the time comes to get it repaired, serviced or replaced, you can bring your vehicle to Rick & Ray’s Auto Plaza.
