A vehicle’s transmission is a part of the engine that helps you change gears to add or decrease the amount of power to the wheels. It works by changing the gear ratio when you change speeds. It would be almost impossible to operate your vehicle without a functioning transmission. Visit our service department at Ourisman Mitsubishi Laurel in Laurel, MD if you have problems with your transmission.
Vehicles either have an automatic or manual transmission. An automatic transmission mechanically changes gears for you to concentrate on driving. A manual transmission requires you to change gears with a pedal and stick shift. Some vehicle models have automatic and manual transmissions in the same gearbox.
A transmission keeps your vehicle’s engine operating at a steady level. However, the transmission can damage the engine when it is not properly working. It can also prevent the engine from providing power to the wheels for you to accelerate or slow down.
