Don t overlook annual transmission service

(MS) — Research by industry experts shows that nine out of 10 automatic transmission failures are caused by overheating normally attributed to summer driving conditions ranging from stop-and-go traffic, to towing heavy loads, to carrying extra passengers or cargo.

Gates Corporation product engineers say that an often-overlooked cause of transmission failure is a leak in the transmission oil cooler hoses.

Gates says the transmission should be inspected and the cooler hoses should be replaced, if necessary, at the beginning of the summer driving season.
