Smooth Shifts Ahead – Transmission Services at Howard Automotive.
Why is my transmission slipping?
A slipping transmission, where the engine revs but the car doesn't accelerate as it should, is usually caused by low or worn fluid, internal wear, or a failing component. It tends to get worse over time and is a sign your transmission needs attention sooner rather than later. Bring your vehicle to Howard Automotive in Kansas City and we'll diagnose why it's slipping before it turns into a much bigger repair.
Is a transmission fluid leak serious?
Yes, a transmission fluid leak should be taken seriously, since your transmission depends on that fluid to stay cool and shift properly. Running low can cause overheating and internal damage, and leaks usually show up as reddish fluid spots under your car. Call Howard Automotive at (816) 444-7377 if you spot a leak and we'll locate the source and fix it before it affects how your transmission runs.
How can I make my transmission last longer?
The best ways to extend your transmission's life are keeping the fluid clean, avoiding hard or aggressive shifting, and not overloading or towing beyond your vehicle's limits. Letting the car warm up briefly in cold weather and coming to a full stop before shifting between drive and reverse help too. The expert team at Howard Automotive can check your transmission's health and let you know how to keep it running smoothly for the long haul.
