      How weather affects Transmission Repair

      Do you plan to take your vehicle to a place like Elko, NV with prolonged heat/cold or humidity in the next 3 months? Please consider the following impact on your vehicle:

      The cooling system is one of the parts most significantly impacted by cold weather. The coolant circulating through it might be freezing partially or completely. Radiator and cooling system, which have to accommodate the expanding of the frozen liquid, are affected. Cracks may form resulting in a leaking cooling system. The cold might also be causing your radiator to contract, causing hoses and hose clamps to come loose if they're not tightened. Slower chemical reactions can extend the life of a battery by slowing the degradation. Batteries in cold climates can last up to 20% longer than in mild climates. However, when it gets cold fast, the much slower chemical reactions mean lower battery output. Remember when it seemed your battery instantaneously stops working at rapidly falling temperatures in Elko, NV?

      High Humidity such as in Elko, NV increases the likelihood of condensation inside the headlight housing. Water and electricity don't mix, which may cause a short circuit leading to failure of your lightbulb. In addition, any condensation water coming in contact with a hot light bulb may cause the bulb to break. Many different sensors in your vehicle let its car computer know if a potential problem is detected because they sense temperatures, pressures, filling level etc. to be out of normal range. Excess moisture from heavy humidity in Elko, NV might cause the sensors to trip inadvertently and create a false positive, meaning they signal a problem even when there really isn't one. Every time a warning or the check engine light is on, get it diagnosed by a professional before you worry about the malfunction of your car.

      Related Fixes

      Any or all of the following fixes might be proposed by your shop in Elko, NV to restore your brake system to operate as designed and meet safety standards. THESE FIXES are offered by all shops IN the neighborhoods

      Symptoms of Transmission Issues

      Common symptoms that indicate the transmission is faulty are gears slipping, jerky acceleration, rough idling, and sudden bad fuel consumption. The vehicle’s transmission is extremely complex and can develop failures for many reasons. Still, you can get a clue of what’s the main problem in your transmission by observing the symptoms your vehicle shows.

      Slipping Gears

      Cause: Low transmission fluid, a worn-out clutch (manual), or a failing transmission solenoid can cause the gears to slip unexpectedly, leading to a loss of power or a jerking motion.

      Delayed or Rough Shifting

      Cause: Low fluid levels, worn-out shift solenoids, or a malfunctioning valve body can lead to hard or delayed shifting, making it feel as if the vehicle is struggling to change gears.

      Grinding or Unusual Noises

      Cause: Worn-out gears, a failing clutch, or a malfunctioning transmission bearing can produce grinding, whining, or buzzing noises when the vehicle shifts or accelerates.

      Leaking Transmission Fluid

      Cause: Damaged seals, worn gaskets, or loose bolts can lead to transmission fluid leaks, causing low fluid levels and potential transmission damage.

      Check Engine Light or Transmission Warning Light

      Cause: This could indicate issues with the transmission control module (TCM), low fluid, or internal transmission problems that need diagnostic attention.

      Car Won’t Go into Gear (Manual or Automatic)

      Cause: A damaged clutch (manual), low transmission fluid, or a malfunctioning shift linkage can prevent the vehicle from properly engaging gears.

      Burning Smell

      Cause: Overheating of the transmission due to low fluid or excessive slipping can produce a burning smell, signaling that the transmission is under stress.

      Unusual Vibrations or Shaking

      Cause: A failing torque converter, worn-out motor mounts, or imbalanced driveshaft can cause vibrations when the transmission is in gear.

      Sticking or Hesitating When Accelerating

      Cause: A dirty or clogged transmission filter, low fluid levels, or a failing transmission control module can cause hesitation or a delay in acceleration.

      Can't Reverse

      Cause: A damaged reverse gear, low fluid levels, or a malfunctioning transmission control solenoid can prevent the vehicle from going into reverse.
