Introduction Your Transmission
When it comes to the drivability of your car it is essential that your engine and transmission are operating at optimal levels. Should one of these major components fail, your car will feel less than smooth when you behind the wheel. Your transmission is special in the sense that it gives your engine the right gear setting to propel you forward. Without your transmission, your car would be stuck in a single gear and your car would be stranded in the same power at all times. Likewise, you would also be limited in movement. The purpose of having multiple gears is to help gauge the speed variations and movement. In other words, your transmission is also important in helping you reverse too.
An automatic transmission is a very common setup in many cars today. The simple shifting and transitions allow drivers to move in and out of gears. As the name also suggests, this setup allows drivers to focus more on the road and less on timing and RPM regulation. On the other hand, the automatic transmission is very complex and designed with specific tunings to the main planetary gear.
Trouble Shifting?
You may wonder how could an automatic transmission could have trouble shifting? With a main planetary gear setup and a simplified system it would seem that an automatic transmission is the way to go. However, there are three important parts to an automatic transmission in your vehicle. Several indicators can tell you if the transmission is working well along with issues that can cause what is called a “no shift” condition. Learn what to check if your automatic transmission is not shifting properly.
