Automatic Transmission
The transmission is a system of gears which transmits the power from the cars engine to the drive shaft. The automatic transmission will sense automaticly what power(torque) is required to propel the vehicle most efficiently. Think of it like your old ten speed bicycle, the smallest sprocket at rear wheel delivered the maximum torque, great for starting but would become inefficient at higher speeds making it nessesary to "change gears" to reduce the power required to turn the wheel at the same speed.
Transmission Filter and Fluid
Must of us don't think twice about getting the engine oil changed, most people understand it will lengthen the life of the automobile. What most of us overlook is how important it is to follow your manufacturer's recommendation to replace/change your transmission fluid. Transmission repairs can be costly! Make sure when you have your transmission fluid changed they also replace the filter. Replacing the filter is neccesary to long and trouble-free operation of your transmission. Service your transmission and keep your pride and joy running smooth.
