It might not be your transmission

Did you know that engine problems can feel like a shifting problem with your transmission. If your engine has a misfire then it can feel like you are missing gears when driving. That a plugged exhaust will cause a lack of acceleration and mimic a transmission issue. These are just two examples of times that it's not in fact your transmission that is having an issue.


All newer transmissions are controlled by your vehicles computer - this can also be referred to as a control module. This computer controls the shift points and how the transmission reacts. This means that the computer can reduce engine power output to protect the transmission if there is another issue. Or it can command it into the wrong gear if it is getting the wrong information from a sensor. The problem with this is that it doesn't tell you that and you may think you have an issue with your transmission when it's in fact an issue with a completely different component on your vehicle.


Think you have a transmission issue then give us a call and let us take care of you.
