Tech Tip Tuesday: Seals, Gaskets, and Cooler-Line Connections

A transmission relies on seals and gaskets to keep fluid where it belongs. Heat and age can harden those materials, and colder weather may make an existing weak spot easier to notice.

Watch for:

✔️ A new reddish or brown spot under the vehicle
✔️ Fluid residue around the transmission pan, axle seals, or cooler lines
✔️ A fluid level that keeps dropping
✔️ A burning smell from fluid reaching a hot surface

A small leak does not always mean a major repair. The important thing is finding the source before the fluid level becomes low enough to affect lubrication or hydraulic pressure.

If you have noticed a new spot in the driveway, let us take a look.

Today is National Do Not Disturb While Driving Day.

At 55 mph, a vehicle travels about 80 feet every second. A two-second glance at a notification covers roughly 160 feet without your full attention on the road.

Fall adds wet leaves, earlier sunsets, and changing visibility to the drive. This is a good time to let your phone handle the distraction for you.

iPhone users can turn on Driving Focus. Android phones offer similar driving-mode settings. Both can silence notifications automatically when you are on the road.

Set it once, let it turn on automatically, and keep your attention where it belongs.

Tech Tip Tuesday: Clutch Packs

Inside an automatic transmission, clutch packs use alternating friction and steel plates to hold different parts of the gearset. Hydraulic pressure applies the correct pack for each gear.

The friction material wears over time. If a clutch cannot hold firmly, it begins to slip. That slipping creates heat, and the extra heat can speed up the damage.

A driver may notice:

✔️Engine speed rising without the vehicle accelerating normally
✔️A delay before the vehicle responds to the throttle
✔️Soft or drawn-out shifts
✔️A burnt smell after driving

Those symptoms can have more than one cause, so diagnosis should come before a repair decision. Following the correct fluid-service schedule for your vehicle can help reduce heat and wear.

Today marks six years with James Lake.

James joined the Edwards Transmissions+ management team on October 12, 2020. He helps keep the day-to-day operation moving, from scheduling complicated repairs to supporting the team when a busy afternoon changes course.

A lot of good management happens behind the scenes. Customers may not see every decision, but they feel the result when communication is clear and the work stays on track.

Thank you for six years of steady leadership, James.

October is Pedestrian Safety Month, and shorter days make this a good time for a few reminders.

More evening driving now happens in low light. Windshield glare, a burned-out headlight, and a little extra speed can make someone walking or biking much harder to see.

Before your next drive:

✔️Check that both low beams are working
✔️Clean the inside and outside of the windshield
✔️Slow down in neighborhoods and near crosswalks
✔️Give yourself extra time to react at dusk
✔️Put the phone away before the vehicle moves

These are simple checks, but they make fall driving safer for everyone using the road.

Tech Tip Tuesday: What the Valve Body Does

The valve body directs pressurized fluid through an automatic transmission. Its passages, valves, and solenoids control when clutches apply, how firm a shift feels, and when the torque converter locks.

When something in the valve body is not working correctly, symptoms may come and go. You might notice a harsh shift one day, delayed engagement the next, or a gear that occasionally does not engage.

Possible causes include a sticking valve, a worn valve bore, a failed solenoid, wiring trouble, or debris in the fluid. Those problems can feel like internal transmission damage, which is why testing matters.

Some valve-body repairs can be completed without rebuilding the entire transmission. The first step is confirming where the problem is.

Cool mornings can make transmission problems easier to notice.

Cold transmission fluid moves more slowly, so the first few minutes of a drive may feel different from the rest. Existing wear, low fluid, or a small leak can also become more noticeable as temperatures drop.

Watch for:

✔️ A delay after shifting into Drive or Reverse
✔️ A firm first shift that improves as the vehicle warms up
✔️A new fluid spot on the driveway or garage floor
✔️Shifting that feels sluggish during the first mile

One unusual shift does not automatically mean a major repair. If the same symptom keeps happening, it is worth having it checked before colder weather arrives.

Tech Tip Tuesday: When Reverse Starts Acting Different

Reverse can develop a problem even when the forward gears still feel normal. Depending on the transmission, Reverse may use a different clutch, band, solenoid, valve-body circuit, or combination of components.

Common warning signs include:
• A delay after shifting into Reverse
• A harsh or banging engagement
• Slipping while backing up a hill
• No Reverse even though the vehicle still moves forward

Low or worn fluid, an electrical issue, a valve-body problem, or internal wear can all cause similar symptoms. That is why the symptom alone does not tell you whether the transmission needs a small repair or a rebuild.

If Reverse has started feeling different, have it diagnosed before the problem gets worse.
