A car’s transmission is what converts power and torque to the vehicle in a controlled and efficient manner. The transmission converts different speeds by way of the gear shift. Through every day travel, the transmission can take the brunt of aggressive driving such as from speeding up too quickly, stopping quickly, driving in hot weather, and not getting regular maintenance. All of this is really hard on the transmission, which can easily lead to an expensive repair.
Avoid kicking yourself for neglecting the maintenance of your car’s transmission and engine by following these tips on what to look out for and how to keep your car running safely.

Thank you for explaining that a transmission is what converts power and torque to the vehicle in a controlled and efficient manner. My sister has been worried about her car's transmission lately since it started making weird sounds. I am sure that she could use this article to help her learn more about why it is important to have a working transmission.
My car is making a ticking noise when in neutral and when pressing down on the accelerator. Is this a transmission related problem?
Kendrick,
Strange noises can indicate a problem within your transmission or another system in your car, when you are hearing noises that are new or out of the ordinary it is always best to visit a mechanic. Unfortunately, we can not diagnose your vehicle without seeing it in one of our service centers. If you are local to Colorado stop by one of 14 Colorado AAMCO Service centers and we can perform a free diagnostic check on your vehicle where we can access any repair needs your vehicle may have.
