Automatic transmissions shift between gears automatically to optimize driving, and they change gears based on the driver's throttle pedal, vehicle speed, engine speed, and vehicle load. Typical automatic transmissions have 4-5 forward gear ratios, a Reverse, Park, and Neutral gear.
Shifting gears occur automatically once the car is in Drive, and there is no need for a clutch pedal or gear shift like there is in a Manual Transmission. Automatic transmission repair is complicated based on all the components that make it up, and you need to have any automatic transmission issues properly assessed by auto mechanics.
Call (937) 372-7476 to talk to the mechanics at Select Auto Repair about your transmission problems.
There are clutches in both automatic and manual transmission cars, and there are different types of clutches. When shifting gears, the clutch engages and disengages from the flywheel and transfers the torque through the transmission.
Clutches should help your vehicle start and shift gears smoothly. The clutch in your car receives a lot of wear and can eventually wear out. If your clutch begins slipping irregularly or is making noises that are raising suspicion, contact Select Auto Repair to see whether clutch replacement is necessary.
A four-wheel (4x4) drive vehicle has differential gears, both front and rear axles, and a transfer case attached to the transmission. Four-wheel drive vehicles demand maintenance on the transfer case, front differentials, rear differentials, and transmission fluids. Visit us for your four-wheel drive transmission services.
If your vehicle has front-wheel drive, the engine drives the front wheels only. The power is routed through the transmission to the final drive where it is split and sent to the two front wheels through the drive axles. The engine, transmission, and additional hardware are all located in the front of the car. If you are in need, Select Auto Repair of Xenia, OH will gladly repair front-wheel drive transmission vehicles.
Driving a vehicle with a manual transmission requires using the clutch pedal and gearshift to manually shift gears based on the speed of the vehicle. Manual transmissions have been built with anywhere from two to eight gears. Front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive are the two main configurations for manual transmissions.
Typically, manual transmissions require less maintenance than automatic transmissions. At Select Auto Repair, our auto mechanics can diagnose your vehicle and then recommend the transmission repair or transmission service you need to ensure safety and improve the lifetime of your vehicle.
Transmission repair is not something to take lightly. The transmission is connected to key parts of your vehicle and needs to be working properly for your safety. Transmission services include replacing filters and draining fluids to prevent transmission damage.
Typical transmission issues that may lead to repair may include shifting issues, slipping, stalling, fluid leaking, and the service light turning on. If you are concerned that you may need transmission repair, don't hesitate to schedule an appointment at Select Auto Repair today.
A transfer case is a part of a four-wheel drive system found in four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles. The transfer case receives power from the transmission and sends it to both the front and rear axles.
This can be done with a set of gears, but the majority of transfer cases manufactured today are chain driven. The transfer case is connected to the transmission and to the front and rear axles by means of drive shafts. Trust the automotive experts at Select Auto Repair for all your transmission repair needs.
