When it comes to your transmission, it takes several components to keep it running smoothly. However, the most important part is the transmission fluid. It may not seem as though the fluid would be important, what with all the different gears and transfer of energy, but without being lubricated, all that will not work correctly.

It Works as a Coolant!

If you have an automatic, it is understandable with all the work your transmission is doing on its own that it may get overheated. However, thanks to automatic transmission fluid, it keeps everything cool. If for some reason, you smell a sickly-sweet burning smell you need to check your transmission fluid to make sure it isn’t getting low. If it is low, check for leaks, because transmissions don’t use up fluids like other parts of the vehicle.
