Tips to Extend the Life Span of Your Transmission
The transmission is a key part in your vehicle’s powertrain system. It helps to ensure that the right amount of power is being distributed to the vehicle’s wheels and will shift up or down depending on the engine’s revolution rate. Here are a few of the key ways to extend the life of your vehicle’s transmission.
Stop Completely When Reversing
When you reverse your vehicle, you want to make sure you come to a complete stop before putting your car into drive. Essentially, this allows the transmission to stop moving in the reverse direction before moving in the forward direction, and limits the strain placed on the system.
Practice Low-Impact Driving
The way you drive and the environment where you drive most can both affect the health and longevity of your vehicle’s transmission. Make sure you allow your vehicle ample time to get to speed, that you don’t ride the brake when driving, and that you maintain optimal driving speeds. This can help to reduce the wear and strain on the transmission and prevent slippage.
Schedule Routine Service
Check your vehicle manual for regular transmission service to know how often to bring it in for care. You also want to get the transmission fluid flushed regularly. Maintaining fluid levels is key to a healthy transmission, so check your levels often.
