Preventing Transmission Damage
Your car is obviously a complex machine with hundreds of parts working together to make it operate properly. Ideally, the ignition, charging system, cooling system, and every other component would work perfectly without your having to think about them. Of course, wear and tear take an inevitable toll. Over time, parts wear out and need to be repaired or replaced. In this article, we’re going to explore transmissions in the context of how they can sustain damage. Repair work normally performed on them can be expensive. The more you can avoid causing unnecessary harm (or, at least preventing it from happening), the more money you’ll save.
Factors That Cause Damage
If you’re driving an automatic (ATF), one of the most common sources of long-term damage is heat. When your engine is running, the ATF undergoes a significant amount of internal friction. That friction generates intense heat. The purpose of the transmission fluid is to absorb that heat. If it can remain at approximately 175 degrees Fahrenheit, the ATF will likely last as long as 80,000 miles or more. However, if the temperature climbs past 200 degrees, the part can start oxidizing from the heat. That’s a problem. The ATF can also suffer from other issues (though, they’re less common). For example, if it was rebuilt by a poorly-trained mechanic, it can fail for a number of reasons. Also, if the fluid levels are too low, or you’re driving extremely aggressively (i.e. constant racing, abrupt starting and stopping, etc.), you can cause damage over time.
How To Prevent It From Fail
As implied in the previous section, you’ll need to make sure that the transmission fluid is at an appropriate level. If the fluid always seems low, place cardboard under your car to identify whether a leak has formed. If it has, have a mechanic fix it. Also, pay particular attention to the color of the fluid. A dark color usually signals that it’s dirty and needs to be replaced. As I’ve mentioned in previous columns, always check your owners manual to determine the proper replacement intervals. You can also preserve the life of your transmission by the manner in which you shift. For example, press your brake pedal down to make sure your car isn’t in motion when you shift out of Park. Similarly, don’t shift into reverse if your car is moving forward. Doing so can put enormous strain on the ATF.
Preventative Maintenance And Service
Eventually, you will need to replace your transmission. Like all of your car’s moving parts, it will give out and fail one day. The good news is that you can prolong its useful life by taking a few preventative maintenance steps. Make sure the fluid is at an appropriate level, don’t drive aggressively, and avoid shifting when your car is in motion. Those simple steps can help ensure that your transmission will last for several years.
Used Boats For Sale
My friends and I decided to spend our summer in one of our favorite hangout during our college days. This is the resort were we used to do our water sports like water skiing, diving and most of all speed boating. The group decided to have our own boats for ourselves so that we can save our bucks for some important things.
And so, when we arrived at the place we immediately went to the place were we could buy some boats for sale. When we reached the area, we saw that there are also used boats for sale aside from the new one. The vendor of the boats told us that it may be used boats but it functions like the brand new one. The group them made a decision to go for the used boats so that we can save money to buy some stuffs for our family. We used the boats we bought and you can really feel that it is like you have a brand new the way it performed.
My Elder Brother’s Bike
My elder brother seldom uses a car for his transportation because he always wants to use his Harley Davidson bike. I was surprise one day that he borrowed my car and he said that he will use it for that day. I asked him why and he told me that his bike is broken and he will need to borrow my car to buy some Harley Davidson parts to replace the old parts of his bike that is not functioning anymore.
When he went back home, he is bringing the parts for his bike and he also bought some accessories. What I like most with the things that he bought is the chocolate ice cream that he gave me as his thank you gift for allowing him to use my car. It is nothing to me and I told him that he don’t need to buy me ice cream every time he borrows my car and I just told him to teach me how to drive bikes and also let me borrow his bike sometimes.
