How to Repair an Auto Transmission Yourself?
An automatic transmission (AT) is a type of internal-combustion engine drivetrain that uses fluid to send power from the engine to the wheels. An AT uses a planetary gear set, often with double or triple reduction gearing, to allow for the smooth and constant movement of the vehicle's output shaft(s).

If you’re like most drivers, your car probably starts and runs fine but it feels a little different when you try to shift gears. That’s because your auto transmission (or transmission assembly) is a complex machine that helps your car move from one place to another.
If something goes wrong with your transmission, it can affect the performance of your engine and cause frustrating problems such as missed gears, jerking, or poor acceleration. In some cases, a faulty transmission can even lead to serious accidents.
Fortunately, repairing an auto transmission yourself is relatively easy if you have the right tools and know how to go about it. Here’s what you need to know:
1. Know Your Transmission Type and Model
The first step in repairing an auto transmission yourself is knowing which type of transmission your vehicle uses and the model year of your car. This information can usually be found on the label near the driver’s side door or under the hood. If not, it can be found online or in a manual provided with your car.
2. Get The Right Tools
In order to repair an auto transmission yourself, you will need several essential tools: A jack and lug wrench (or equivalent), a torque wrench (a precision instrument that measures the amount of force required to tighten or loosen a bolt), an impact tool (for removing stubborn bolts), brake fluid (to lubricate moving parts).
