Understanding Your Transmission
The transmission is the system in your vehicle responsible for transferring the engine’s power to the wheels. Whether manual or automatic, this complex system allows you to control your vehicle with ease. Our team at Gordie's Auto & Tire has often found that understanding the basics can empower vehicle owners to detect early signs of trouble before they escalate.
