There are so many problems with electrification development. No infrastructure, no stations to charge the batteries. And charging takes too long. Also, many cars don’t match the charger, many vehicles have to

Having a transmission shop that you can trust and refer to at any point - for maintenance or for a serious repair - is very advantageous and stress-saving. Below we prove several pieces of advice on how to select a shop you can count on.
What are typical transmission failing symptoms and what are the reasons: Slipping gears, no shifting, hard shifting, shuddering, shifting delays, this in not a full list of strange bahaviour of your automatic transmission, let us explain.
It is vital to understand that repair cost depends on a sum of many factors. We will break these down in detail but typically transmission repair is seldom cheap. It is a relief if all you need to do is a solenoid replacement or a fluid flush. Fluid change will come at a cost of $80-$240. Fluid leak repair will have you spend an average of $150-$200, and solenoid replacement procedure will be around $130-$390. A rebuilt transmission comes from $1100 to $2700 and a remanufactured - from $1400 to $3500.
Many car manufacturers want to minimize possible interference in the software of their latest models. In this endeavor, we have to mention GM that has been promoting “unhackable” ECUs in some models for some time now. This technology makes it almost impossible to carry out any significant tuning changes, but it seems like GM wants to change that.
Recently, it has transpired that BorgWarner (BW) has sold its branch Morse TEC, which is responsible for asbestos and fulfillment of other environmental obligations, to Enstar Holdings (US).
Probably every transmission repair specialist was keen on LEGO constructions or at least enjoyed making some minor things with their hands. Here's the game taken to a new level of creativity!
Modern auto industry is full of sophisticated drivetrain technologies which are supposed to make your driving experience even more pleasant and trouble-free. Despite a great abundance of sophisticated technical solutions, it is highly likely that very few people know a transmission solution operating like a manual CVT.
Over recent years engineers developed a lot of gear shifting solutions for different car brands, which may seem a bit unusual for oldtime drivers. In this article we will review the most peculiar gear stick technologies and provide video materials related to these technologies.
Only few people know about transmission concepts which were popular 70-90 years ago. For men of today, these gearboxes may seem very unusual and weird, but even now some gearboxes that date back to those years are quite competitive in comparison with modern transmissions.
Nowadays Extroid CVTs are commonly known as “toroidal” due to the fact that the working surface of driving and driven discs in this transmission has the form of a torus. Extroid CVT is not a V-belt transmission, but a friction drive CVT.
