Toyota Transmission Service Near Phoenix

The Vital Function Of A Transmission

The transmission in a vehicle is the crucial link between the engine and putting that power to the ground via the rotations of the tires and wheels. A transmission is used to convert the rotational speed from the engine to the appropriate road speed for the wheels. Some vehicles have a manual transmission that requires the driver to monitor and adjust or shift the transmission as the need for more speed arises or the speed must be decreased. Other vehicles have an automatic transmission that does the shifting for the driver. Both transmissions rely on gears, transmission, fluid, and hydraulic pressure to deliver the power the vehicle's wheels require to transport you down the road.

Signs Of Transmission Trouble

When a transmission functions correctly, there is no noticeable hesitation or sound as the unit shifts gears. The transition should be smooth. When there are issues with a vehicle's transmission, you could notice any of the following indications of trouble that need immediate attention from the technicians at Bell Road Toyota:

• The car shakes or shudders at various speeds or all the time
• There is a delay in shifting that can cause the engine to sound overworked or stressed
• There is a grinding sound when the transmission is shifting
• If the transmission is manual, it is physically difficult to shift
• There is leaking transmission fluid under the vehicle
• You smell an odd burning odor from the transmission fluid
• When you check the level of the transmission fluid with the dipstick, it is thick, cloudy, or smells burnt

How To Avoid Transmission Issues

All transmissions require routine service to ensure they function correctly and that vehicle owners get the most longevity from this complex component. Your Toyota owner's manual will provide a recommended time limit or mileage to have the transmission serviced and the fluid drained and replaced. This essential fluid protects the gears and moving parts inside the transmission from damage due to friction and high temperatures. Much like changing the oil in your Toyota engine, replacing or degrading transmission fluid is the best way to ensure the safety and function of the transmission in your vehicle.
