The Difference is Clear 

You likely purchased your 4-wheel drive vehicle for its extra capabilities, so it’s obvious that you wanted something a little different than the standard fare transportation.

That difference is clear, too. You should entrust your vehicle to the ASE-certified technicians at Transmission Technicians in Massapequa, New York, for 4-wheel drive transmission repair. As a member of ATRA, we have the expertise needed to ensure that the work on your automobile is done correctly. 

Transmission Specifics 

Your unique vehicle’s transmission is similar to that in 2-wheel drive models in some ways, yet very different in others. A review of key components related to the unit itself can be useful in understanding signs of trouble and necessary repairs. The transmission itself transfers power between the engine and the wheels. It allows your automobile to operate optimally at varying speeds through changing gear ratios. The unit can be a manual where the driver initiates gear shifts or an automatic that selects the appropriate gear for you. A driveshaft transfers torque to the differentials, and axles support gross vehicle weight while connecting the driveshaft to the wheels. The transfer case distributes power to the front and rear axles from the transmission. This facilitates selection of the drive mode when your vehicle has both 2- and 4-wheel drive capabilities. Your 4WD also has front and rear differentials, gear mechanisms that distribute power evenly to all the wheels. Actuators and solenoids enable your 4-wheel drive system to engage and disengage. They also allow for gear shifts, transfer case engagement, and power distribution to the wheels. 

Signs You Need Transmission Repair 

It’s a good idea to have us perform preventive maintenance services and check your vehicle periodically. Between visits, there are signs you may notice that potentially point to a transmission problem. Don’t delay mechanical attention if you notice difficult shifts, slipping gears, burning odors, odd noises. The longer you wait to get transmission repair, the more extensive the damage is likely to be. Proper maintenance such as regular fluid checks, inspection of gaskets and seals, drivetrain greasing, and tightening loose connections are particularly important for your 4WD. Proper diagnosis and expertise with this type of vehicle is also crucial. Therefore, you should make Transmission Technicians your first stop for 4-wheel drive transmission repair.
