Our Wrightstown drivers have been experiencing issues with their transmissions and there are a few things that we here at Bird's Towing & Automotive Repair Inc feel are important to know so that you are more comfortable and confident if you are, indeed experiencing a transmission problem of any kind. First, if you drive a vehicle manufactured in the past few decades, there’s a good chance your transmission has a variety of sensors attached to it which monitors all kinds of things - fluid pressure, vehicle speed, temperature, air intake at the engine, and so on.  The first thing to check is your Transmission Sensor, which is a much more affordable fix than replacing your transmission!

What are sensors for? Transmission sensors both monitor conditions and signal other components to take action. Your transmissions require a lot of monitoring to work correctly, and their efficiency and performance have improved greatly over the years - not to mention we’ve gone from 3-speeds to 8-speeds, largely thanks to modern electronics Those sensors make sure everything stays shifting smooth, and monitor any problem that may arise. Temperature, pressure control, throttle position, air intake, speeds of various moving parts within the transmission, and more are all part of the transmission’s monitoring system. Transmission sensors tell the transmission when to shift, how hard to shift, and regulate almost anything else the transmission does.

How do you know if a sensor is bad? All electronics can get complicated, the great thing is the control modules know when something isn’t working correctly. It takes specialized equipment and a trained technician, but with those two things, most problems can be pinpointed within a few minutes. Diagnostic equipment tracks and saves problems it notices, and if you bring it by the shop our technicians can pull those codes to see what’s going on.

In the past, if a transmission stopped working, it was probably toast. These days, don’t assume the worst - there’s a good chance your transmission has either entered safe mode or simply can’t operate correctly due to a failed sensor. It may seem like the transmission is beyond repair, but often it’s an inexpensive part and we are able to get you back on the road again quickly.
