10 THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT DO WITH YOUR TRANSMISSION
Part 2 of 2 (See previous e-newsletter for Part 1 of 2)

1. Don’t Rock Your Car in Sand or Snow
   Dig it out or have it towed. Both are less expensive than the damage you may cause by quick shifting between Reverse (R) and Drive (D) over and over again. The excessive heat that is caused by such action can burn out a transmission in a very short period of time.
   
   
2. Don’t Drive Until The Engine Warms Up
   For your transmission to perform properly, the fluid must be at operating temperature. Give it a few minutes and it will give you better and longer service.
   
   
3. Don’t Let Anyone Tow Your Vehicle With The Drive Wheels on the Ground
   Rear wheel drive vehicles must be towed with the rear wheels off the ground. Front wheel drive with the front wheels in the air. All wheel or full time four-wheel drive vehicles should be flat towed (all four wheels off the ground) Not sure? Check your owner’s manual. Improper towing can cause serious damage!
   
   
4. Don’t Stop Suddenly
   Like fast starts, sudden stops can damage drive train components like engine and transmission mounts. These can lead to transmission damage. After any sudden emergency stop, it would be wise to have your mounts checked.
   
   
5. Don’t Play Transmission “Doctor”
   Over the counter additives that are supposed to stop leaks or make the transmission shift better many times contain chemicals that may cause worn seals to swell. This can interfere with the function of these operating rubber parts and lead to severe damage. Save time, money and your sanity by having an expert properly evaluate your transmission first.

Our goal at Harrell & Beverly Transmissions is to give our customers the best information possible so they can make the best decisions possible. If you have any questions related to proper transmission usage, then give us a call at 407-322-8415 to set up an appointment or check us out on the web at www.harrellandbeverly.com
