Transmissions For Sale-A Hot Subject This Summer.

Super Duty Motor Home Transmissions For Sale

This summer is starting out hot, not that I’m surprised since I live in Florida. From what I observe, its going to be hot every where in the country this summer. Which does not bode well for travelers, especially motor-homes, overloaded vacation cars and work trucks. Transmissions sell like hot cakes.

To do everything in your power to avoid a transmission failure is within your power. We call it maintenance. Some folks don’t even know that their transmission needs maintenance. Someday, when they need a replacement transmission, they will understand about transmission preventive maintenance.

Heat is murder on an automatic transmission. Heat combined with inferior ATF, (automatic transmission fluid) is the enemy. So what is to do to protect ourselves from being stranded on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, where you can’t even get any cell service, on a 90 degree day? Preventing the problem is the cure.

Transmissions cool through the radiator. The radiator has a section built right into it that cools your automatic transmission. Some cars and trucks have a factory auxiliary transmission cooler built into the vehicle from the factory. I recommend having one installed if your car does not have one. It will pay for itself fast in a large hard working vehicle like a motor-home.

Another critical tip is that you absolutely must use synthetic ATF. The factories have been vibed into using synthetic lubricants since the mid ’90’s. They understand that the best lubricants are synthetics now, and protect transmissions and other parts that need oils changed or greased regularly better. Another matter is that the best rebuild parts manufactured nowadays are synthetic fluids ready.

Although we are in business to sell replacement transmissions, we don’t get any enjoyment out of other peoples misfortunes. While we want to sell transmissions, we feel it is our duty to educate our customers and the public about the best ways to get max life out of your transmission.

I hope that motor-home owners take heed. The manufacturers are starting to wise up now, but until the last 8 to 10 years, most motor-homes, unless they were of the D.C. Transit Authority size, have light truck transmissions in them. A definite liability for vehicle that pulls such a heavy and valuable load. A problem waiting to happen.

A bonus for everyone is this. We sell heavy duty transmissions for motor-homes and commercial applications. We specifically prepare them using heavier duty components and specialized update kits to bring them up to the duties called upon them. Regardless of your pursuit, it is nice to know we guarantee our transmissions nationwide. So, if you have another issue to deal with, it is covered 100% under warranty.

If you take only one piece of info out of this post than it’s one piece of info to little. My two main points are: that this is the time of year for transmission maintenance, and write our phone number down and put it in a safe place. 866-320-1182. Enjoy your driving. GotTransmissions.com
