Transmission Repair in Ardsley, NY

Transmission Trouble? Let's Skip That.

Take Care of Your Transmission So It Can Take Care of You

The transmission is a vital component of any vehicle, an absolute necessity. Without it, the power generated from your internal combustion engine, your EV batteries, or your hybrid system cannot transfer to the wheels to make the car move. Therefore, transmission trouble is no fun, so let's skip that. How? To the extent possible, prevent problems from occurring. If they do happen, count on Ardsley Motors in Ardsley, New York, for transmission repair.

Best Practices for Protecting Your Transmission

Preventive care is one way to extend the life of your auto's transmission. Check your transmission fluid level periodically, and let us inspect your drive train annually. Also, it's good to warm up your car for a minute prior to driving. This provides an opportunity for the transmission fluid to properly lubricate the gears. Additionally, use common sense. Don't haul or pull loads that are too heavy for your vehicle. This places undue strain on the unit and may cause it to overheat. Excessive heat is bad (which is another reason you need enough transmission fluid at all times. Fluid absorbs some of the heat.) Make a habit of using the parking brake, too. Your car is equipped with a pawl (a type of pin) that functions as an anti-roll device. However, parking on an incline can stress this piece. The parking brake helps prevent premature wear. Further, mindfully drive as related to your transmission. That entails changing gears sensibly if you drive a manual and not abusing the ability to rapidly accelerate and quickly brake between stop lights regardless of transmission type. Finally, don't ignore the signs of transmission trouble. Getting timely repairs can head off bigger issues later.
