One of the expensive repairs you can do on the car is a transmission repair.It is one of those things you hate hearing about in regards to repairing your car.  So of course most people want to know how to make it last longer.Or they really are wanting to know can it be done. Like most things it is possible.  You can make it last longer by making sure to take care of them.  But here are more specific things you can do to make your transmission last longer.

First thing you will need to do is be sure to keep your fluids at the right level.  Just like everything in your car you want to keep your fluids right.  But with a transmission it is crucial if you want your car to last longer.  Whenever a client takes there car in to the La Costa transmission repair shop I run I always check their fluids.  I also recommend they always keep a close eye on their fluid levels.  If they run their car with low fluids they will surely ruin their transmission.  Or it won’t last as long as they want.

Second thing you have to know is that heat can hurt your transmission.  So what you want to do is make sure you keep your transmission cool.  One of the best ways to do that is to add transmission cooler.You can find some easily at an auto parts dealer.  Of course when clients come and bring their cars in to our Vista auto repair shop we add it in also.  This helps let the transmission run cooler.

Finally here is a simple one.Do not ever attempt to shift gears while the car is in motion.  You will be surprised at the number of people who ruin their cars by shifting gears while the car is moving.  I am not because we see it all the time in our La Costa auto repair shop.People will have their cars brought in and they will have ruined transmissions because of this very thing.
