Virtually all modern transmission systems contain multiple examples of a type of component known as the solenoid. These play the important role of channeling the transmission fluid into certain valve bodies, thereby allowing the transmission to change gear. Solenoid problems often increase the transmission's difficulty of shifting from one gear to another. If bad enough, it may even cause the transmission to stop working altogether. If you would like to learn more about how to recognize the signs of an impending solenoid problem in your European car, read on. Read More

Learning About Automatic and Manual Transmissions

About Me

Welcome to my website. My name is Paige Yuins. My site will explore the world of manual and automatic transmissions. When I first started driving, I was plunked behind the wheel of a vehicle with a manual transmission. I had to learn how to pilot the vehicle and work my way through the gears at the same time. The experience inspired me to learn how the gearbox selected different gears and applied power from the engine to the wheels. After that, I turned my attention to the complicated internals of the automatic transmission. I would love to help others learn how their vehicle works by exploring these components in more detail. My site will include information about maintaining and repairing transmissions as well. Thank you for visiting.
