• Keep it Cool. One of the most common causes of transmission failure is overheating, so keep it nice and cool by servicing your cooling system as needed. If you live in a particularly hot climate, you may need to install an auxiliary transmission cooler to prevent overheating.
• Check the Fluids. In a car with an automatic transmission, your transmission fluid is crucial is manoeuvring the clutch and keeping everything cool and lubricated. Check your owner’s manual for suggestions on how often and how to check the fluid for your particular vehicle.

Any changes in the general operation of your transmission, as well as any leakage or warning lights, should be referred to a professional before the problems get any worse.
