Get Your Rock Crawler In Great Shape With A Salt Lake City UT Transmission Repair Company

Transmissions are complicated devices that can be very expensive to rebuild. If you have a 4x4 vehicle modified for rock crawling, it can make things even more complicated.

If your favorite vehicle happens to be a rock crawler, then it needs even more attention to the transmission, especially since most crawlers had this part changed out in order to improve its output. Changing transmissions out increases crawl ratio to make it easier to participate while extending the torque converter and clutch life.

This, though, means you no longer have a "standard" car - and it becomes even more important to get yours inspected regularly - after all, it failing in the middle of a competition and having to be rescued by one of your rivals is highly embarrassing. This means you need a good repair shop, one which has experience dealing with these special alterations made to suit a vehicle for rock crawling.

Make sure the shop you choose has that particular, focused experience. As with all transmissions, the signs of a problem include unusual sounds (the sound may, of course, change when you swap out the transfer case), the check engine coming on, problems shifting gears, the engine idling high or a leak.

Your mechanic should also check for leaks, particularly if you have a high centered crawler, as these are prone to lots of damage. As with most things in life, a little prior proper planning will prevent poor performance later, and will save you time and money.

Once again, make sure you get a mechanic or garage that has experience with crawlers, as these transmissions are not like ordinary cars. With an experienced person on your side, you know you are getting custom, tailored service that will help you get more life out of your vehicle and help you keep competing week in and week out.
