You rely on your hard-working diesel transmission
to get you where you need to go, but are you caring for it appropriately? Many
people don't realize that transmission fluid changes are just as important as
regular engine oil changes. Nearly nine out of ten transmission failures
can be attributed to overheated or contaminated transmission fluid. It is best
for you to consult a transmission builder in such situation. Diesel
transmission repair companies offer a wide array of transmission, driveline,
and clutch services to ensure that your vehicle is well cared for. They can
also perform routine transmission fluid services as a preventative measure to
protect clients’ trusted diesel-powered vehicle from experiencing transmission
failure.
Common
Problems
The smell of burnt fluid indicates high levels of
clutch wear and friction leading to high heat buildup. Evidence of metallic
dust in the bottom of the pan usually means excess gear or bearing wear. These
indicators do not necessarily mean your transmission will fail. By keeping the
fluid clean and using a transmission additive you can push more life out of a
dying transmission. Transmission builders go through all diesel transmission
repairs to check and touch, literally every part of the transmission–from front
to rear and every internal component–transmission builders leave no stone
unturned, so-to-speak. There are several key areas in the transmission
that require attention during a proper overhaul, that transmission builders or
local shops may not have the equipment to properly address or just may not
check at all.
Saving on
Transmission Repair
There are many types of diesel transmission repairs
that almost any decent mechanic or repair shop can perform for you. If you only
need to change the transmission fluid or transmission fluid filter in your
diesel vehicle, these are tasks that you can easily do on your own and save
yourself from expensive diesel transmission repairs.
Choosing a
Transmission Builder
Choosing a transmission builder service center that
specializes in diesel vehicles or diesel transmissions will always result in a
better quality diesel transmission repair than choosing a service center that
does not. Diesel engines and gasoline engines are considerably different in
design and the transmissions used in conjunction with these engines are
different as well.
