For Automatic Gearbox in Salford Repairs, Speak to the Experts

If you drive a car with an automatic gearbox in Salford, you probably don’t give much thought to your gearbox. If you’ve never owned and driven a car with a manual transmission you would be even less likely to think about your car’s automatic gearbox. Continued demand for easier and smoother gear shifting to send power to your car’s engine keeps automotive engineers on their toes. So far, they’ve done a great job. It’s possible to drive a car for most of its useful life and never have an issue with the transmission. Practically speaking, transmissions should be checked during your annual service appointment for performance. Transmission fluid does deteriorate over time so it’s a good idea to change it after 150,000 miles. It will extend the life of your transmission.

Since your automatic gearbox in Salford generally works well, you may not know the warning signs of a problem. If the transition between gears is not smooth but jerky, you have a problem. Another symptom of problems is any noise coming from the transmission. If your engine winds out too far in first or second gear then slams into second or third gear, you already have a serious problem. Your gearbox is in drive and the engine is revving but the car isn’t going anywhere. That’s a gearbox problem. At the first sign of trouble, contact us and schedule your car in for an inspection. Transmission damage is lessened by attending to it early. We know how to take the right steps and make the repairs.
