Unlike
the early days, transmission repair specialists focus on one type of
transmission and thus providing standard repairs. But due to innovative
changes, transmission repairs have come to an interesting twist as it
comes in similar ways but differ on how much horsepower the driver needs
to shift gears.
Automatic
transmission is the easiest for an average driver. By a simple gear
change in ‘drive’ the transmission shifts gear on its own. Just a few
changes to make the vehicle move forward and backwards is needed. In as
much as it is easy for the driver to manipulate, it is most complicated
for a mechanic. The need for computer elements that make the
transmission sense the need for gear changes should be adjusted more
often. Problems such as slipping and overheating of transmission are
signs of the need for transmission repair. These may be caused by leaks
in your transmission fluid or even overheating. When the fluid starts
leaking, the harder it is for the transmission to move and thus
overheating comes next.
Manual
transmission on the other hand is more complicated for a driver to
learn. It is because it relies on the cues to know when to shift into a
higher or lower gear. In this case, transmission repairs are caused by
chipping of any moving parts in your transmission due to inappropriate
timing of gear changes. Manual transmission repairs are less complicated
since it does not need intensive programming; another benefit of a
manual transmission system is that it is fuel-efficient than that of an
automatic.
Finally, semi-automatic
transmission repairs only differ in the complexity of disengaging or
re-engaging the clutch before and after gear shift is adjusted. When the
transmission senses the need for gear change and the driver fails to do
so, it automatically shifts. In this case, same issues on transmission
repairs arise as its combined counterparts are involved.
The
need for transmission repair on these three types of engine boils down
to one reason, inefficient fluids; a regular visit to your mechanic is
the best in maintaining a good transmission status and avoiding
transmission repairs.
