A burning smell from your engine is always a cause for concern, and it might be coming from your transmission fluid. This can happen if the fluid is low, or the wrong brand is used, and it’s important to get the fluid flushed and replaced, then have the transmission checked.
An overheated transmission can end up really damaging interior components. For instance, when exposed to the heat, rubber seals become hard and brittle, and delicate metal parts can warp, causing the valves to stick.
Riding the brakes does more than just wear them down, it also affects the transmission because it forces it to work harder than it should to maintain the correct speed.
The adage “If you can’t find it, grind it” may lend a bit of humor to the attempts of the novice driver learning a stick shift, but when you can’t shift gears, or they grind regardless of how smooth the shift should be, there may be a problem with the clutch or the flywheel.
Work vehicles that operate under extreme conditions such as towing, hauling heavy loads, or extreme heat may benefit from and external cooler. This add-on helps reduce the friction caused by heat stress damage to the transmission.
The emergency brake should be engaged when the car is parked to prevent rolling in the event of a transmission failure. It is especially helpful when parking on an incline.
If you regularly tow a trailer or haul heavy loads, consider having an external cooler installed. The cooler reduces the heat and friction caused by the stress on the engine and helps prolong the life of your transmission.
Proper engine tune-up is essential for the life of your automatic transmission. In fact, some transmissions use engine vacuum to control hydraulic pressure and shift quality, with which engine tuning becomes even more important.
Different cars and trucks have different sounds that they make when shifting into gear, but there is an almost universal sound that accompanies a transmission-based problem. This usually comes in the form of a clunking, buzzing, or whining sound when shifting into gear.
