Wondering why your check engine light is on? You can buy a diagnostic tool to connect to your engine's computer and tell you what's wrong. If this tells you that the problem is with the transmission, then it's a good idea to take your car in to an expert.

If you seem to have difficulty shifting your car and you smell burning transmission fluid, this is a sign that your transmission is overheating. Common causes of this include low or inadequate transmission fluid, or dirty fluid that needs changing.

Planning on going on a long road trip? The long days and different driving conditions could put a strain on your transmission, which could cause it to overheat and burn fluid. So before you leave, make sure your transmission fluid is checked and flushed if necessary.

Has your transmission started to almost wiggle into position when it shifts? This can quickly become more and more jarring until every gear transition involves shaking. There are many things that can cause this, and a transmission expert will be able to track the problem.

It’s important to pay close attention to noises coming from your transmission, particularly when it’s in neutral, as this could signal something serious. This usually includes mechanical wear of parts like the bearings or gear teeth that will require the replacement of parts.

Is your car not instantly going into gear when you shift? Even if it’s just a slight hesitation while driving, this is a good sign of a transmission problem, and you should have an expert look at it to prevent the problem from getting any worse.

When it comes to vehicle transmissions, the overdrive function allows for faster cruising speeds while maintaining more moderate RPMs. Overdrive is necessary for a transmission, as it allows for better fuel economy while minimizing engine wear.

Your car's transmission bridges the gap between the engine and the driveshaft. The complicated nature of the transmission means it gets a lot more wear and tear than other parts of the engine from the heat and friction of moving parts.

The power in your engine starts with the pistons, turns the crankshaft, connects to your transmission through the input shaft, exits the transmission through the output shaft, then goes to the wheels. If this seems confusing, don’t worry. A transmission expert will be able to keep things moving smoothly.

Problems with your transmission can be more than just an annoyance. They can become a safety hazard if you suddenly can’t get power to your wheels. That’s why it’s a good idea to get your transmission checked out as soon as you notice anything seeming a bit off.

Have you ever heard of a dog gear? This isn't a mechanical pet, but a key part of your transmission. When you (or your computer) select a gear for your car, the dog gear will slide over the end of that gear. This links it to the output shaft of the transmission to move your wheels.

Did you know that General Motors devised the first automatic transmissions in 1930? They were first installed in GM-built tanks for WWII, and by 1940 were put into the Oldsmobile.
