Your transmission mounts keep your transmission in place and suppress vibrations coming from the drivetrain. How do you know when to replace them or when they’re going bad. At Sac Valley Diesel in Sacramento, CA, our goal is to educate you about your vehicle so that you can drive it safely and prolong its life.
Transmission mounts are simple components. They’re mounts that secure your transmission to the vehicle, with a layer of rubber there to keep vibrations to a minimum. Whenever those mounts fail, two things occur - the transmission is allowed to move around too much, and excessive vibrations are transferred to the vehicle.
Typically, a bad mount is most noticeable when you first hit the gas pedal to take off, or when you’re in drive with your foot on the brake pedal. If you can feel or hear vibrations in either of these scenarios, a bad transmission mount is to blame.
Fortunately, they’re fairly inexpensive to replace, and we know exactly how to do it. Don’t hesitate to get yours taken care of; bad mounts are not only damaging to other components, but they’re also extremely annoying as well. Replacing a bad mount will get your car back into shape, idling and driving like new.
No matter your repair or maintenance needs, our technicians have you covered. For the best transmission service shop in Sacramento, CA, call or stop by Sac Valley Diesel today.
