Automatic Transmissions – Repair at Cottman

automatic transmission repair at cottman transmission and total auto careThe term “automatic transmission” means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. But to you it generally means just one thing: put it in gear and go. No shifting gears… the transmission does the work for you.

That’s because automatic transmission is a broad term to describe a lot of different systems built since the late ’40s. Back then, an automatic transmission often had only two speeds: low and high. They didn’t provide a lot of power and they weren’t all that efficient. But they were easy to drive, because they decide when to shift.

Today’s automatic transmissions look nothing like the automatics of yesteryear. And they have four, five, six speeds and more. In fact, 8- and 9-speed automatic transmissions are just beginning to appear on the road!

And efficient! The addition of a lockup torque converter and computer controls has turned the sloppy automatics of yesteryear into a powerful, efficient machine. In fact, most people would be hard pressed to squeeze better gas mileage out of a standard transmission than you can expect from one of today’s automatics.

Of course, all that technology comes at a price: complexity. Today’s automatics are far more complex than those of twenty or thirty years ago. And that can be a problem when they aren’t working they way they’re supposed to.
