Auto gearbox එක පරිස්සම් කරන්නේ කොහොමද?

How to keep your automatic transmission for longer

Your gearbox is one of the most essential components to get your tires moving. Namely we can speak about manual transmission and automatic transmission. The constant chip over the shoulder of automatic drivers being pressured into a lower class by the manual drivers. However those who seek daily commutes,short drives and overall an average drive would prefer an automatic for its easier use case. A common misconception is that automatic gearboxes can’t be messed with because the components do all the work, however that is not the case. Carsguide is here to discuss these misconceptions and how to maintain your gearbox give you an extra few miles without a hassle.

A Warm up and a stretch

Your internal vehicle components to withstand high heat and pressure. All of it is designed to perform at maximum potential at an optimal heat level. The engine oils and the transmission fluid all perform at their max capacity at a relatively high heat level.So take the time to keep your car static for a while after firing it up until the components reach optimal temperature. Especially in cold countries where ECU’s are programmed to run at higher RPMs until the components reach optimal temperature.If you find yourself in a chilly location make sure to wait until your RPMs drop to usual functioning pace in best case scenario.

A transmission or a gearbox consists of multiple moving parts that work in close quarters at relatively high speeds, In order to make sure these functions operate smoothly lubricants such as transmission fluid or gearbox oil is used.It is crucial that you switch it up every 50,000km on average to prevent decaying of oil and thereby components inside your transmission.

Gently and firmly is the way to go

Whatever said and done your transmission is all moving parts. Which means its a complex system where a lot things go wrong and you don’t want to stick your hand into the list of problems so be patient while switching gears,Make sure to be at a full stop with your foot on the break before you switch the gear so your gearbox knows is informed earlier.Thereby reducing the strain by the weight of the vehicle on the gearbox.

Keep it clean

Although your gear selector is covered with a dust protector it’s never out of the question that dust is going to get inside the minute components of your mechanical components which will create unnecessary friction which will reduce the shelf life of your transmission components.

If you don’t follow these steps you’ll find your transmission slipping between gears without your action in the short run more likely than the long run.If you run on patience then you’ll find an extra bit of miles on your odometer.
