Additional Information
The internal parts of a transmission are kept clean because of the amount of detergent that is in new transmission fluid. As that fluid ages, the concentration of that cleansing detergent is lessened which means that your internal parts are not getting the bath that they need to stay in tip top shape. A residue that is sort of like varnish will start to build up on these parts and this could lead to expensive repairs if not taken care of properly.
That said, even though generally, only 4 quarts of transmission fluid is changed out during service (as opposed to 12 quarts), the new transmission fluid can actually break off some of these varnish like residue and then it will travel all through the transmission. These flakes can actually cause valves to stick and other problems.The best way to avoid these things from happening is by getting your transmission fluid changed regularly.
When you bring your car to MDM, the professional technicians will be able to take a look at your transmission and let you know exactly what it needs. They will give you an estimate and keep you informed of what is going on every step of the way, making sure that each of your questions is fully answered.
The alternator is what is used to change the mechanical energy in a vehicle to the electrical energy that powers many components. As far as the relationship between the alternator and battery – the alternator is the component that is responsible for maintaining the battery charge. If for some reason you notice that your car battery doesn’t stay charged like it should then the issue could be with the alternator.
Once you have checked the battery and alternator and you still can’t successfully start your vehicle then it could be the starter that has a problem. The starter is basically a small motor that controls the internal combustion in the engine. Those are the three main reasons for electrical system failure but it could also be anything from a dead ignition switch to blown fuses or loose wires or many other things.
Your vehicle’s circuitry is quite complex and before you run out and waste money on things like a new starter, alternator or battery, you should always get your car checked out by a licensed professional such as those here at Mark Dodge. Our professionals can run diagnostics on the whole electrical system of your ride to find out just what the issue is and then get it fixed quickly and correctly.
