Transmission slippage can be caused by a variety of factors that are sometimes difficult to pin down. From Kermit’s Certified Transmission & Auto in Kingman, AZ, here’s a rundown of the more common issues that may cause a transmission to slip.
Worn/Burnt Clutches - Your truck’s transmission is packed with clutches that allow it to engage or disengage. If they’ve become worn or damaged, they won’t work properly, and your transmission will slip. Typically, there are other issues at hand that result in damaged clutches, and the clutches themselves require the entire transmission to be broken down in order for them to be replaced. Most of the time, a rebuild or replacement will be in order.
Your vehicle's engine needs clean air to burn the fuel – and it needs a lot of clean air. In fact, a typical vehicle needs about 216,000 gallons of air for every tank of gas. All that air passes through a filter that catches the dust and dirt. Eventually, the filter gets completely full, and because the filter can only hold so much, dirt starts getting through. At Kermit’s Certified Transmission & Auto in Kingman, we ensure you get the best air quality in your vehicle and explain the process of where this dirty air is going to our area drivers.
Brake pads are important - you don’t need them to go, but you do need them to stop. At Kermit’s Certified Transmission & Auto in Kingman, AZ, we like to keep your vehicle stopping exactly as it should - it’s less dangerous, and it keeps insurance premiums low.
