Automatic vs Manual Transmissions

Automatic transmissions are often preferred because they're much easier to drive and don't require you to constantly use the clutch pedal; however manual transmission cars can be cheaper in terms of buying price (especially older classic models) which is why some people prefer them over automatics. However if you're driving a manual transmission car, you'll have to change gears yourself. The transmission is what changes the gear by using a series of computer-controlled devices to provide power from your engine and drivetrain in order for you to accelerate without needing constant use of your brake pedal!

Transmissions will wear out over time due to age or mileage. Depending on how your transmission was designed, the symptoms of a transmission problem will vary.

    Diagnosing Transmission Problems

    Your transmission can pick up an issue at any time; however there are some symptoms that you'll want to look out for in order to tell if your transmission is starting to fail or has already failed. If you're having problems with the way your car drives - such as the engine struggling when accelerating, then it's possible that something wrong with your transmission. 

    The hallmark symptom of a transmission problem is when your vehicle starts having problems shifting gears.  If your transmission is slipping or struggling to shift properly, then it's likely that you're transmission fluid is low. If this happens, don't drive your car because if the transmission fluid gets into the engine then it could destroy it! If you're having issues with starting up your car that won't go away then it's possible that there's transmission fluid getting into the engine's cylinders and causing your car to stall. This is a very serious issue - one that needs immediate transmission repair in order for you to get back out on the road.

    A transmission rebuild can solve both of these problems - especially if there are signs of metal shavings in your transmission fluid. This is a sign that the transmission has been grinding against other parts and needs immediate transmission repair. A transmission rebuild can solve these issues by replacing all of the transmission's components such as gears, bearings and more so you don't have to worry about metal shavings in your fluids any longer!
