Understanding the Auto Gearbox: Tips for Longevity and Performance

The Automatic Gearbox is a marvel of modern engineering, simplifying driving while ensuring smooth gear shifts. However, to keep this crucial component in top condition, regular care and proper usage are essential. Here are some valuable tips to maintain your auto gearbox for optimal performance and durability.

1. Monitor Transmission Fluid Levels

Transmission fluid is the lifeblood of your gearbox, ensuring smooth operation and preventing overheating. Regularly check fluid levels and quality. If it appears dark or has a burnt smell, it’s time for a replacement. Follow your vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines for service intervals.

2. Avoid Sudden Gear Changes

Shifting between reverse, drive, and park without coming to a complete stop can stress the gearbox and cause long-term damage. Always pause and let the gears settle before making transitions.

3. Use the Right Driving Mode

Most automatic vehicles offer drive modes like Eco, Sport, and Manual Override. Select the appropriate mode for your driving conditions. For example, use Eco mode for fuel efficiency during city commutes and Sport mode for dynamic performance on highways.

4. Don’t Overload Your Vehicle

Carrying excessive weight can strain your gearbox and other drive-train components. Check your vehicle's load capacity and stay within recommended limits.

5. Address Warning Signs Early

Unusual noises, delayed shifting, or slipping gears indicate potential problems. Have your gearbox inspected by a professional promptly to avoid costly repairs.

With regular care and mindful driving habits, your auto gearbox will provide a seamless driving experience for years to come.

What's it like podcasting? (Chalena)

It's a question I get asked a lot. It's fun - it honestly really is but it has been very difficult and a learning curve. I know I know I definitely have not been keeping up with this blog, but I am going to start now. I want to see how far this journey takes us.

In the beginning, it was really hard to find our voices. Courtney and I, although are very talkative when it's just us - can get a little shy in front of the camera/mic. Our biggest fear was always, "am I going to stay something stupid? Stumble over my words? Am I going to offend someone". We are still getting over this curve now - though being only 7 episodes in there is a huge difference. We decided that we were going to be ourselves - our true, authentic, unfiltered selves. What is the point of podcasting if not? We're not just having a conversation with each other but with our audience as well, and we want you guys to join in on the conversation! If you don't like us - fine - we're not for you. We can't fit in with everyone's taste.

Now, we did start podcasting in the middle of our Vet Tech Program. It honestly was supposed to be just a fun hobby for us. Now going back and thinking about it, it was an incredibly crazy idea. This podcasting is like another job that doesn't pay well, the only reason I do it is because I truly enjoy it. It give me something else to think about other than Vet Med, and anyone in Vet Med knows how draining and life consuming it is. If I didn't have this podcast - I would be at home probably depressed. I met my goal, what else is there to live for if I have nothing to work for? I would just be lost if I wasn't actively working on something.

Currently, I am working full time as a Vet Assistant, while studying for the VTNE to be a full fledged Vet Tech. Has this been a hurdle? Absolutely, I feel like I'm having to juggle two different lives. On top of that - I recently discovered that I may have an autoimmune disorder. My test results came back flagging for Hypothyroidism in the near future and a positive on Anti-Nuclear AB. The latter can still flag positive on a healthy person - however I have been suffering symptoms for over 6 months. I know I know, I should have gone sooner but I just didn't have the time or money for that. If I wasn't studying, I was at my clinicals and if I wasn't at my clinicals, I was at work, and if I wasn't at work, I was at home taking care of all the things I didn't do during the week. I was constantly tired, but I thought it was just from my busy schedule and endless amounts of studying. Nothing an energy drink couldn't fix, right? WRONG. I should have known that something was wrong when I was sleep extremely exhausted and unfocused when I was taking my prescribed ADHD medications along with 2-3 energy drinks a day. I unfortunately only noticed when I started working full time, with shorter working hours and a less busy schedule, and I was passing out at 8pm and waking up for work at 8am (I'm supposed to be there at 7:20), regularly, and it still wasn't enough.

So how do I podcast with all this chaos going on in my life? Easy. I enjoy it. That's it. That's the secret, you have to actually like it and understand that even though you podcast for an audience, at the end of the day your podcast is for you to be you. So what, if you only have 15 listeners? I know sometimes when you start out doing this - you feel like you're not enough. You're not smart, funny, pretty, etc, enough and a big audience is essentially approval from other people. Validation is what we search for (in most every situation). I am here to tell you (and myself) that you are enough. Your thoughts, your ideas, your beliefs, they matter, you matter.

So yeah, that's what it's like podcasting. It's an emotional rollercoaster when you mix it in with your own crazy life - but at the end of the day it's rewarding on its own.

Did You Know Your Car's Windshield is More Than Just Glass? Exploring Key Facts on Replacement and Repair

Your car's windshield is more important than you might think. It's not just a piece of glass; it's a crucial part of your safety on the road. In this easy-to-understand blog, we'll explore some interesting facts about windshield replacement and chip repair.

Windshields Are Safety Features

Your windshield is not just there to keep the wind and bugs out of your face. It's an essential safety feature of your car. In a crash, it provides structural support, preventing the roof from caving in and protecting you from flying debris.

Small Chips Can Turn into Big Problems

Ever seen a small chip in your windshield? Don't ignore it. Over time, small chips can spread and become large cracks. That's why it's essential to repair them early to prevent a more extensive and costly replacement.

Quick Chip Repair

Fixing a small chip is a speedy job. It usually takes around 30 minutes, and you can drive your car right away. This is much faster and cheaper than windshield replacement in Phoenix.

Full Replacement Can Be Necessary

If your windshield is seriously messed up or in an important spot, you might need a whole new one. The experts will be very careful when they take out the old windshield and put in a fresh one.

High-Quality Materials Matter

For the new windshield, it's crucial to use top-notch materials. A great windshield is made from strong glass that won't break easily, especially during a crash. This is all to make sure you stay safe on the road.

Skilled Technicians Are a Must

Changing a windshield is a job for experts. Skilled technicians know how to handle the glass properly, ensuring it's fitted securely and safely. Trust the professionals to do the job right.

Insurance Can Help

A lot of insurance plans help with fixing or changing windshields. If you have comprehensive car insurance, you might not need to pay a lot or even anything for these services.

Your car's windshield is a vital safety feature that you shouldn't take for granted. Small chips need immediate attention to avoid more extensive problems, and professional technicians are there to help with repairs or replacements. Remember, using high-quality materials and proper installation is key to staying safe on the road. If you have insurance, it can ease the financial burden, making it easier to keep your windshield in excellent condition.
