The importance of your Transmission

Your car's transmission is the unsung hero, silently coordinating gear changes for a smooth and efficient driving experience. Here at Cheseldine Tire & Auto, we understand the importance of a healthy transmission in keeping Southern Maryland drivers moving. This guide will delve into transmissions, common issues, and the benefits of preventive maintenance.

What is a Transmission and What Does it Do?

The transmission acts as the intermediary between your engine and wheels. It controls the flow of power from the engine, adjusting gear ratios to optimize performance at different speeds. Here's a breakdown of its functions:

  • Gear Changes: The transmission seamlessly shifts gears, allowing the engine to operate efficiently at various speeds.
  • Torque Multiplication: It increases engine torque (turning power) at lower speeds, providing better acceleration.
  • Engine Protection: The transmission prevents the engine from revving too high, shielding it from potential damage.


Signs of Transmission Trouble:

A troubled transmission can manifest in several ways, making your commute a hassle. Look out for these warning signs:

  • Slipping Gears: The car hesitates or struggles to maintain gear, causing jerking or loss of power.
  • Delayed Engagement: When shifting gears, there's a noticeable delay before the car responds.
  • Burning Smell: A burning odor emanating from the transmission can indicate overheating or internal damage.
  • Unusual Noises: Grinding, whining, or clunking sounds from the transmission area are signs of trouble.
  • Check Engine Light: The Check Engine Light can illuminate due to transmission issues.
