Preventive Maintenance
Everyday there are countless vehicles operating over
the highways with transmissions in such a neglected
mechanical condition, they can be referred to as
failures looking for a place to break down. They lack a
proper and organized preventive maintenance program.
Preventive maintenance is a general term which applies
to all procedures necessary to have maximum life and
satisfactory service at the lowest possible cost, short of
removing and repairing the unit.
A number of conditions contrary to good preventive
maintenance can generally be pointed to when
inspecting a failed transmission. Taking a few minutes
every so many hours or miles to do a few simple
checks could help avoid eventual breakdown or reduce
the repair cost. If the transmission is not cared for, it
will breakdown.
