I've never known much about cars. I knew placing a key in the ignition would start them up. But that's about as far as my knowledge of cars went. Obviously there a lot more to know. My transmission education started last year. It was a warm day. I was on my usual route to work. As I accelerated past the burger place, I put it into third gear. I noticed a quick stall and short grumble emanating from the engine. That's not a good sound. For the next twenty minutes of my commute the same thing would occur. Uh-oh, I muttered to to no one. Luckily Tom, an automobile enthusiast. was already there. He knew what the problem was right off the bat, as soon as I told him what happened. He informed me all about transmissions, even though I didn't need to hear half of it. He said the issue was most likely old transmission fluid. Transmission fluid wears out, apparently, and when it does it's less effective. If he was right I'd need a transmission flush. To confirm his theory he sent me to a good repair shop down the street. I clocked out and drove over there. The car tune-up Puyallup Washington mechanics were great. They even offered a free diagnostic test. Even before the test came back the crew automatically knew what the issue would be. And my co-worker was correct. After the mechanics flushed my transmission I was back on the road, my car running better than ever.
