<p>We all know that there is no shortage of things that can go wrong with a vehicle but one of the more common things and probably the most concerning things is when something goes wrong with the auto transmission. The concern here is that it is not easily repairable and repairs are usually quite expensive and finally the car really just will not be able to function when the problems with the transmission are there.</p>
<p>There are signs that you are going to notice that there are transmission problems lurking. To begin with the car just may not feel like it is operating like it normally does. Then you may find that even when the car is not moving or is moving at a slow rate the engine is racing very fast. You may find that when you go to change gears it seems to be a very rough move rather than a smooth transition. It may seem like your changes have not even engaged or they have been missed. Sometimes you will hear unusual noises when you go to do your gear changes or even while you are driving. You may find that oil leaks or you may even get a burnt smelling odor off the auto transmission oil and it may even look black.<span id="more-209"></span></p>
<p>The newer model cars have what they call a failsafe mode now regarding the transmission and what this means is that when something starts to go wrong with the transmission the cable locks itself into one gear so that you are able to drive it for small period of time. Do not go over the limit with this failsafe system. The moment that you realize that it has kicked in you, really need to get a professional to see what is going on with the transmission.</p>
<p>The auto transmission is not something that the backyard mechanic with little or no experience wants to try and play with. It takes a professional to work on this particular item because they are very complex. There are lots that you can do to preserve the life and the good workings of your transmission and that is things like having the oil fluid changed, the transmission pan should be removed and cleaned, and a new filter should be put on. Also new transmission fluid should be added and the car should be checked for fluid leaks and several other factors as well. Keeping your auto transmission maintained properly can end up saving you a lot of time and frustration in the future as well as money.</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you are deciding to book your car hire you may want to consider hiring a manual car hire rather than an automatic transmission. If this is the case then you will need to make a specific request for manual car hire as a lot of the vehicles on offer these days are automatic. Make sure when you complete your request you read the small print carefully to ensure that you have ordered within the manual car hire options and not the automatic ones on offer.<br/><br/>When you have chosen your manual car on line payment can be made on line or on arrival in your destination. Manual car hire will require payment to be made in the local currency.<br/><br/>If you are not sure of the differences between a manual car and an automatic car then there are various positive differences to bear in mind. Manual car hire is so much more fuel efficient in these times of high fuel prices. A manual car could save you as much as 25% petrol consumption. Please bear in mind that fuel costs overseas will be in the local currency and that you can pay for your fuel in cash or credit card.<br/><br/>A manual car is also likely to drive faster and smoother enabling you to the cruise the roads with ease. You need to be aware if you are used to driving an automatic car that manual car hire will involve changing gears up and down when slowing down and accelerating but if it&#8217;s a long time since you have driven a manual car then you may enjoy the experience of real driving again.<br/><br/>If you drive a manual car in the UK then do not be put off by changing to an automatic car rather than a manual car. It&#8217;s easy to hire and drive an automatic car or a manual car when you are overseas as the roads are excellent and easy to navigate. The manual car hire companies who are based abroad will also assist you when you collect the vehicle if you need any assistance with planning your journey.<br/><br/>Manual car hire will include manual cars with all of the optional extras you might expect to have in an automatic car. Optional extras like air conditioning or a sun roof will be available in manual cars.<br/><br/>Also you can expect to find satellite navigation in manual cars as well as automatic cars so if you are concerned about driving overseas or in an area that you are not familiar and not knowing your route very well just ensure that you select manual car hire and look for the optional extra of satellite navigation. It might be offered as standard in some manual cars but check carefully if you would like this facility in your manual car hire.<br/><br/>There are so many models available in the manual car hire section which will range from 2 door small manual cars to the larger manual people carriers. The larger vehicles will probably be automatic transmission so check that a manual car is available if you specifically need a larger vehicle.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Once you have built that big bad engine for your muscle car, you&#8217;ll need to be 100% sure that a few other things match the engine that you just built, this is another one of those times when you need to think about what it is you want the car to do, is it a daily driver, or a race car / show car.</p>
<p>What you use the car to do will change the set up of things like the rear end, suspension, and transmission immensely, you can divide the two things evenly, but it usually doesn&#8217;t work very well to put a race engine on the street as your daily driver.</p>
<p>To get lower ET&#8217;s at the drag strip the racers are usually running a low rear end gear, or ring and pinion set to lower their time when they run the ¼ mile, and the lower the rear gear, the harder it becomes to drive the car on the street every day.</p>
<p>Most of the real racers are running a gear set that has a 4.30:1 ratio or a a lot lower, while most street cars don&#8217;t run a gear lower then 3.73:1, as a matter of fact it&#8217;s more common to see even higher gears then that on the street, like 2.90:1.</p>
<p>Obviously the lower the gear in the rear end of your car, the harder it will be to take your car on the freeway around your city, the engine will rap out at a lower rpm, but this is ideal for a race car, when you build your engine, get the company that you buy your cam from to recommend the right gear set.<span id="more-202"></span></p>
<p>If you do what they tell you you&#8217;ll get much better results with your car, but the gearing in the rear end is not the only thing to consider, if your running a four or five speed transmission in your car, you should know the first gear ratio, is it 1:1 or less like .85:1 or .90:1 this will help you also.</p>
<p>If your running an automatic transmission you&#8217;ll need to match a stall converter to your cam shaft, which means that you need to look at the power band of your cam shaft, if it runs from 3,000 rpm to 6,500 rpm, then you&#8217;ll need a converter that stalls at 3,000 rpm.</p>
<p>Let me give a very basic explanation of stall, with a standard transmission you&#8217;d have a clutch so you could get your car to it&#8217;s power band before stepping off the clutch pedal, a stall converter does the same thing for an automatic transmission.</p>
<p>But it has some draw backs, your car won&#8217;t drive normally until you hit your transmission stall speed, it will seem like you don&#8217;t have the power that you should, or seem doggie, these are reasons to build a street engine for the street, rather then a race engine that you drive on the street.</p>
<p>You can&#8217;t have the best of both worlds, and expect your car to be reliable for every day street driving, you can build a street / strip car, but you&#8217;ll always give up some of the good reliable street habits of your car when you do, you&#8217;ll always have to give up something to gain power in your engine.</p>

<p>Your car or truck is a complex mechanical system, which needs maintenance at regular intervals. You probably check under the hood on a regular basis. But looking under your car is a different matter. That&#8217;s where the transmission is located.</p>
<p>It is a connecting shaft which transmits the power or motion of your car&#8217;s engine to the wheels in the front or back depending on whether your vehicle has front wheel drive or rear wheel drive.</p>
<p>Car transmissions can be manual or automatic in nature and your maintenance can vary depending on that. Typically, an automobile with manual transmission will require less maintenance whereas the one with automatic type transmission needs to be checked periodically.</p>
<p>Manual transmission equipped cars or trucks come with an assembly known as a clutch, which is used for shifting gears. It may need replacements once in a while depending on use. Automatic transmissions are far more complex in nature and need to be maintained under the watchful eye of trained mechanics, making it a potentially costly affair.<span id="more-190"></span></p>
<p>Whether manual or automatic, transmissions in cars and trucks cannot work without fluids or oils. These fluids keep them running smoothly and free of friction. This fluid needs to be changed periodically and that is determined by factors like usage, miles covered, and the make of your car or truck.</p>
<p>Most vehicle manufacturers recommend a particular type of transmission fluid due to their specialized needs, so stick with them to keep your vehicles running smoothly. Refer to the manufacturer&#8217;s manual to familiarize yourself with the specific needs of your car. Cars with automatic transmission also will need a filter change along with fluid change, which increases your costs a little.</p>
<p>As far as your car&#8217;s transmission is concerned, since it is out of your sight, in all probability you will never see if anything is wrong with it. Even though you cannot readily see under your car, you can hear the problems. If it makes odd noises while shifting gears, then there is something wrong with it.</p>
<p>Visual clues can be in the form of leak spots under your parked car. If you happen to see or hear any of the above mentioned things, get your car immediately checked. Smelly and cloudy oil needs to be changed immediately. Noise in your transmission may signal a more serious problem. If detected and repaired early, it may save you lot of money.</p>
<p>If your car&#8217;s transmission needs to undergo repair, it might mean minor repairs or a complete overhaul. Minor problems such as faulty sensors, defective solenoid packs and misplaced throttle cables can be taken care of immediately and inexpensively. External seals, which prevent the fluid from leaking, can be replaced without much difficulty. However, front seal replacement means removing the entire assembly and increased costs for you.</p>
<p>The most expensive repair is of course a complete overhaul of your transmission. When that happens the whole transmission system needs to be disassembled to find the faults and make the necessary repairs. The whole exercise can be less time consuming and expensive if you can find a replaceable transmission assembly.</p>
<p>Whether or not your transmission repair goes smoothly will depend on your car make and model as well as the skill and experience of the mechanic doing the work. Just remember, all of these problems can be avoided if you maintain your car in an efficient manner.</p></div>
