A transmission problem or failure can bring your entire journey to a screeching stop. Your car's transmission is significant, working behind the scenes to transfer power from the engine to the wheels. Thus, it also allows you to shift gears and maintain speed. At Armstrong Auto Care in Hollywood, FL, we service all types of transmissions and offer a wide range of transmission services to keep you on the road.

Types of Transmissions

Transmissions come in two main varieties: automatic and manual. Both share the same core function – multiplying engine torque and delivering it to the wheels at the optimal speed.

• Automatic Transmissions: These rely on a complex network of gears, clutches, and a hydraulic system to automatically shift gears based on engine speed and driving conditions.
• Manual Transmissions: Drivers use a clutch pedal and gear shift to manually control gear changes, requiring more driver engagement but offering greater control over the vehicle. Manual transmissions typically use gear oil for lubrication.

Telltale Signs Indicate Your Transmission Might Need Attention:

• Slipping Gears: The car hesitates or struggles to engage a particular gear.
• Shifting Delays or Jerks: The transmission hesitates or jolts noticeably when changing gears.
• Burning Smell: A burning odor could indicate overheating transmission fluid.
• Unusual Noises: Whining, grinding, or clunking noises coming from the transmission area.
• Check Engine Light On: Modern vehicles often signal the check engine light for transmission-related problems.
