How Salt Lake City Transmission Shop Fixes Rock Crawler Transmission Problems

By Lyndon Zerna


Transmissions are complicated devices that can be very expensive to rebuild. If you have a 4x4 vehicle modified for rock crawling, it can make things even more complicated.

If your favorite vehicle happens to be a rock crawler, then it needs even more attention to the transmission, especially since most crawlers had this part changed out in order to improve its output. Changing transmissions out increases crawl ratio to make it easier to participate while extending the torque converter and clutch life.

When you alter the engine in such a way, it makes everything work harder, and gives you an edge during your next crawling competition. However, it can also be hard on the engine, and result in mechanical failures if you do not keep things up and get frequent inspections. Imagine the embarrassment of breaking down in the middle of a competition. You can avoid this altogether by keeping up with the maintenance.

There are lots of choices for mechanics and shops to give you these inspections, but you should go for one with experience in this field. They should know what sounds may constitute a more serious issue ahead, so they can nip it in the bud before it becomes a full fledged catastrophe, such as gear shifting issues.

Your mechanic should also check for leaks, particularly if you have a high centered crawler, as these are prone to lots of damage. As with most things in life, a little prior proper planning will prevent poor performance later, and will save you time and money.

A regular Salt Lake City UT transmission repair shop might not understand the particular needs of your hobby - so, again, make sure that your shop knows what they are doing. Help maintain your vehicle by cleaning the under carriage after practice or competition, and get it inspected regularly so you can off-road with confidence.
