Diagnosing & Servicing Automatic Transmissions Fresno CA
To produce a comfortable and smooth transition that the driver associates with a healthy transmission, the manufacturer will prolong the clutch and band slipping period as needed. During this period of time, the transmission could be said to be running in two speeds at once. The lubricating ability of the fluid is tested the hardest during that time.

To prevent having any service from being over sold or under sold, it is important to not only know that a particular service should be performed, but also why it should be performed. That knowledge can also help you spot when to recommend that service, and when not to. When speaking about transmission fluid, the short version of the explanation is that it gets dirty and wears out. 
In a typical automatic transmission, the teeth of the gears are in full contact at all times. These gear sets are commonly made up of a ring gear, a sun gear and planetary gears. They provide the various gear ratios by stopping one gear from turning, applying engine torque to a second gear, then sending the power from the remaining gear to the wheels. (Figure 1) In Figure 1, number one is the ring gear, number two are the planetary gears, and number three is the sun gear. From this one gear set, multiple speeds are achieved by holding any one gear, applying engine torque to another, and linking the 3rd with the output shaft. "Direct" speed, often times also 3rd gear, is achieved by locking the entire assembly together and rotating all gears as one solid unit. In order to be able lock and unlock these different spinning gears, clutches and bands are needed. Clutches are used to link and separate the spinning gears with the input and output shafts. Bands are used as a type of brake to prevent a gear from rotating. It is within these gear clusters, clutches and bands that the bulk of the... |
