it’s the grocery carrying, load-hauling, go see Grandma, foul-weather family friend that you just can’t be without. It’s the vehicle you depend on to move your most precious cargo—your family. So, when your transmission fails, life grinds to a halt. You’re faced with a set of uncomfortable choices. Repair? Rebuild? Throw in the towel and buy a new vehicle? Any of these options may fit your circumstances and needs, although there are drawbacks to all of them. However, there is a way to take the worry out of making your decision, while getting you back on the road quickly and economically.

Check Transmission Problems Promptly
Most transmission problems start out small. They get worse over time. Very often, you can eliminate major repairs simply by taking care of the problem early on. Whether it’s a warning light on the dash, a few drops of fluid on the garage floor, or a change in the way the transmission operates, your best bet is to take your vehicle to U.S. Automotive. In many cases you'll be able to avoid a major repair simply by catching it while it’s still a minor one.
Service the Cooling System
You may not realize it, but your car’s cooling system does more than keep the engine running cool: It also cools the transmission fluid, through a heat exchanger built into the radiator tank. So a faulty cooling system cannot only damage your engine; it can reduce transmission life as well. In fact, transmission damage may occur long before the engine overheats. To avoid both engine and transmission problems, keep your car’s cooling system clean and in tip-top condition.
Tune the Engine
The engines and transmissions in today’s cars are linked far more closely than in the past. A problem with engine performance can put much more strain on the transmission than one that’s running properly. That’s another reason why it’s important to keep your car’s engine in good running order. A good running engine reduces the stress on your transmission, so the transmission can last longer without requiring major repairs.
