A Look at Your Vehicle's Transmission

October 14th, 2020 by

A transmission is not the first thing that comes to mind when you look at a vehicle. However, this is one of the most important components of any car, truck, SUV, or minivan. Let's take a look at what a transmission does on your vehicle. 

The Role of the Transmission
Your vehicle has a number of gears on it much like a bicycle. A transmission controls which gear the vehicle is in. Most vehicles have automatic transmissions while some have manual transmissions. A properly operating transmission will give your quick shifts to allow you to accelerate faster. 

What is Transmission Fluid? 
If you have an automatic transmission, then your vehicle will require the use of transmission fluid. Transmission fluid is usually red or green to distinguish itself from other fluids in your vehicle. Your transmission fluid should be changed every 30,000 to 100,000 miles depending on the model of the vehicle.
