TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST...WARDS QUALITY TRANSMISSION ...PROFESSIONAL AUTO REPAIR
Depending on the type of vehicle you drive and its age, transmission repairs can be costly. Sometimes it’s impossible to avoid having a transmission repair specialist service your vehicle particularly if you’re subjected to a total breakdown. There are things you can do to extend the life of your automatic transmission and prevent transmission failure.

On many cars, light trucks, and SUVs, checking the transmission fluid is as easy as checking the oil: with the engine idling, pull out the dipstick, wipe it off, insert it again, wait, then pull it out to get an accurate reading. If the fluid level is low, you may have a leak. The fluid itself should be a bright red color, clear, and it should smell sweet. If it’s murky, dark colored, or smells like rotting fish take it to a transmission repair specialist to look things over.

Get your transmission serviced regularly.
Your vehicle’s cooling system helps prevent the engine from overheating. But did you know it also ensures the transmission fluid pumping through the gearbox is cooled too? It’s more likely you’ll need a transmission repair before your engine completely overheats. Make sure your cooling system is in optimal condition. .

Changing the transmission fluid in your car is best left to a professional. Consult your car’s owner’s manual, but in general, get your vehicle’s transmission serviced once a year. How long the transmission fluid is in your car will last depend on the vehicle’s operating temperature and how much driving you do.

Who among us has hopped into the driver’s seat, started the engine, put the car in drive and motored away? (Full disclosure: I’m as guilty as you are) Always allow your engine a few minutes to warm up before you begin to drive, especially during the winter months.
Routine transmission filter change.
Get your transmission serviced regularly.
Warm up your vehicle before you driving.
Your car’s automatic transmission may have a filter, and it needs to be changed from time to time. Whether or not you’re driving a car that has a serviceable transmission filter depends entirely on the make and model. Most newer vehicles don’t have a transmission filter but those that do should be changed each time you get your transmission serviced.
