Trends in the use of automatic transmissions in cars increases. Operation even easier than the manual, without the clutch. Nevertheless, it does not mean man can not make mistakes. And, the behavior of one can make the lifetime becomes shorter.
Described by Ricardo matic, automatic transmission specialist, that the damage due to improper operation of the transmission of only 10 percent, 85 percent of the largest oil change just due to negligence, while 5 percent due to the age of consumption.
There are minor omissions, negligence, although not fatal, the initial damage to the transmission. Like what is negligence?
• Do not move the lever to N. As long stop in a traffic jam or a red light, sometimes the driver continues hold transmission rod in position D. This condition makes the transmission of extra work due to work as a limited supply of fresh air. If the stop of more than 60 seconds, immediately move the transmission into N so that lubricants do not increase dramatically.

• step on the gas into the D. When lining up at the beacon lights, so the sign is green, drivers often move the stick directly to D and direct the gas pedal. In fact, the transmission takes time to engage with the process fluid pressure to move toward the torque converter. If this habit is often done selenoid valve inside the transmission can be easily damaged.

• Often do engine brake. To obtain the effect of engine brake, may be used in low gear. However, the displacement was made during the 3000 rpm engine speed. Because, if on top of that, there could be hard to reduce friction and wear life of the clutch friction within trasmision.

• Move the position of D to R. Move the gear lever from D to R (to parking) needs to speed his hand. However, if done roughly, the conventional transmission could result in damage to the planetary gear and one way clutch. While outside of the transmission components that are affected like the dc coupling cross joint, engine mounting and the axle (front wheel drive).

• Prevent the transmission in first gear. Needs engine brake on the streets down steep or acceleration performance on the road climbs, would need gear first. But, this condition should be done only as necessary and unavoidable when dealing with normal road conditions (flat). Because, increasingly heavy burden clutch. Moreover, if continued into high gear on a conventional automatic transmissions still use valves. Can make performance parts per akuator behind the piston can be problematic due to excessive pressure.
