The Engine Control Unit Software (ECU) of your car is the brain behind the horsepower that controls everything from the fuel consumption to transmission. Hence, it is important to upgrade it timely.

Don’t freak out if you feel different intensity levels of shifting at various speeds and acceleration levels. All modern automatic transmissions should shift smoothly and quietly under light acceleration. When you accelerate heavily you should experience firmer shifts at the higher speeds.

Over time, your transmission can wear down, which can lead to the gears slipping. This is when the car randomly pops out of gear while driving, or the stick (in a manual) pops back to neutral. Transmission experts can track down the culprit and get it fixed.

Numerous issues may indicate transmission troubles are brewing. If your car won’t shift properly through the gears, the engine revs faster than usual before it shifts into a higher gear, or it idles at a higher than normal rate, it’s time to have your transmission checked.

After shifting with a manual transmission, you may notice that the engine will rev up after you shift, but the car doesn't speed up the same amount. This can be because of a worn-out clutch, but could also be something more serious. A transmission expert will figure out any problems and fix them.

While some manufacturers claim transmission fluid lasts up to 100,000 miles, this isn’t a universal truth. In fact, many modern transmissions last longer and perform better if the fluid is checked every 30,000 miles and changed if necessary.

Not sure how often you should have your transmission fluid and filter changed? This can vary depending on your car, driving habits, and where you do most of your driving. However, a transmission expert can help you figure out the best schedule.

Modern cars have a wide variety of computers, and that includes the sensor system. These electronic sensors can pick up vibrations and early problems before most drivers would notice anything, so it's a good idea to pay attention to them.

An engine that revs extremely high when being driven at a moderate speed is a sign that transmission work may be necessary. In fact, a high-revving engine should only rev high when it is being "pushed" to high speeds or when being driven up a mountain pass, not when it is going slow.
