Green Transmissions?
There are many parts of today's vehicles that can be engineered, retrofit or rebuilt to make them more
environmentally friendly and less harmful to the planet. Everyone has heard of low emission vehicles, hybrid and no-fuel cars and
regenerative braking technologies but how often does one think of the impact of cleaner, more eco-conscious transmissions?
Keep Your Transmission in Good Order
You may not realize it but keeping your transmission in good working order can go along way towards helping to protect our environment by ensuring that your transmission is performing optimally. According to many
transmission repair experts,
transmission fluid leaks can be avoided with regular maintenance.
Some of the signs of a transmission in need of repair or maintenance are easy to spot.
In short, if the transmission is slow to start this means that your transmission fluid is low and that an environmentally detrimental leak may be occurring. Furthermore, if the transmission doesn't start at all, you may not have any transmission
fluid left. The best way to check to see if your car has been leaking fluid is to inspect the ground where it is normally parked for tell-tale red transmission fluid.
A Clean Transmission Is a Great Start
Although there may be no such thing as a transmission that had been designed from the ground up to be environmentally conscious it is certain that regular
maintenance and repair can play a key role in prevent spills and leaks of potentially toxic chemicals. By taking your vehicle into a reliable shop with a staff full of experts in the field you can rest assured that your car will not only perform at its best but that it will not be causing unnecessary harm to the environment.
