The Union Street Automotive Guide to Caring for Your TransmissionPosted February 28, 2021 7:53 AMMost vehicles have automatic transmissions, yet a lot of Newark drivers only have a fuzzy understanding about what a transmission does. Think back to the last time you rode a bike in Newark. You started out in a lower gear and shifted to higher gears as you went faster. Down shift for hills, stuff like that. Think of your legs as the engine – there's an ideal speed you can pedal and you change gears to leverage the work you're doing. At Union Street Automotive, we routinely service transmissions with six speeds and several have seven or even eight speeds. As you can imagine, this means more parts. Any they all have to fit into roughly the same space. Transmissions are computer controlled these days, with some high end transmissions having two or three computers. Transmissions are engineered to last. But they are also engineered to tighter tolerances. If a portion of the transmission is starved for lubrication, it can lead to failure. It's really important for Newark area drivers to carefully follow the manufacturer's transmission service schedule. At Union Street Automotive in Newark, we hope you never become shiftless in Newark because you didn't take care of your transmission. Union Street Automotive
