BMW Gearbox Repairs

BMW gearbox repairs are critical for the effective operation of your vehicle. Transmission issues can turn nasty if not addressed promptly. Hence you should periodically have your vehicle checked, specifically regarding your gearbox. It’s a crucial aspect of driving and dictates the smoothness of your ride. South West Automatics have technicians who specifically repair BMW gearboxes.

There is no doubt that transmission repairs require substantial financial input, especially if you own an older car. However, there are steps you can take to prevent transmission failure and an overhaul.

• You should regularly inspect the transmission fluid. While the car is idling, remove the dipstick, wipe the liquid off and re-insert it. After waiting for a short period, pull it back out and inspect the fluid. The fluid should be clear with a tinge of red and a sweet scent. If not, then a visit to the repairman is warranted.
• Drivers of automatic transmission vehicles are often guilty of changing gears while the car is in motion. When you continue this action, it strains the transmission, which leads to breakdowns. Instead, you must wait for the vehicle to come to a complete halt, then change gears from ‘drive’ to ‘reverse’ and vice versa.
• A bad driving habit that most of us adopt is starting the car and immediately pulling out the driveway. You should factor in an added five minutes to allow for your car’s engine to warm up, especially during winter. It allows for all the fluids to reach the ideal temperature for effective operation and ensures the parts, in this case, the automatic gearbox, is well lubricated.
