Accurate Transmission Diagnosis Can Put Money Back in Your Pocket
Although automatic transmission problems will take several forms, consumers, as well as general mechanics, often misdiagnose them. Many think that whenever a transmission exhibits any symptoms at all, such as: slipping, banging, hard or soft shifts, or fluid leaks, it must be replaced with a new or rebuilt one. This is not necessarily the case. Many can be repaired for far less than the cost of a replacement.
Since we know that no one wants to purchase a transmission if it were to turn out they didn’t need one, an expert transmission technician with the proper diagnostic equipment must be consulted. A systematic check by a professional is the only way to establish the real cause of operating problems and their solutions.

Engine Oil Coolers
All engines require a cooling system which is provided by the radiator system containing water. However, high-performance autos used in competitive motor sports, or vehicles whose engines have to work hard to carry large weights or tow other vehicles have benefited from the installation of separate engine oil coolers. In order to remove one third of the heat generated by the engine, the integration of reliable and efficient engine oil coolers is becoming more common in all types of motor vehicles.
Generally, a car’s engine has two cooling systems which can be found on the top of the engine and its surrounding area. Ideally, the operating range of engine oil must be kept within 180 to 200 Fahrenheit. It is important that the oil maintain this temperature range to ensure that it will perform its intended functions correctly.
