Maintaining your transmission is just as important as getting your regular engine oil changes. Below are a few standard tips to help you avoid future transmission damage:
-
Do scheduled maintenance according to the vehicle owner’s manual.
-
Do have transmission fluid checked when having your oil changed.
-
Do not drive a vehicle with low or no transmission fluid.
-
Do not change gear ranges from drive to reverse when your vehicle is moving.
-
Do not spin tires on turns with front wheel drive vehicles.
-
Do not drive your vehicle when there are transmission problems. This may cause further damage.
-
Do not drag race your vehicle as it puts unnecessary strain on your transmission.
-
Do not drive in 4x4 range on dry pavement unless the vehicle is all wheel or automatic 4x4.
-
Do make sure you come to a complete stop before moving the gears into another range.
-
Do not drive on spare tires or mismatched tire sizes with front wheel or all wheel drive vehicles for extended periods of time.
