15 THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER DO IN AN AUTOMATIC CAR

The transmission in your driveway is the second most expensive part of your vehicle — and on a lot of cars it is now the most expensive. A rebuild runs $3,000 to $5,000. A replacement installed is often $5,000 to $7,000. And almost none of them fail because somebody drove like a maniac. They fail from heat, and from small habits nobody ever taught you were wrong. Here are 15 of them. Every single one is free to stop doing — no tool, no shop visit, no dollar. They are just sequences: the order you do things in, and how long you wait. ⭐ Number 1 is the one almost every American driver does every single day without thinking about it once. It is happening in your driveway right now. 👇 Which of these 15 have you been doing? Be honest — you are not the only one. And if you drove for 40 years and never once used your parking brake, say so. You have got a lot of company down here. ⚠️ If you have a high-mileage transmission that has never been serviced AND is already slipping, talk to a transmission shop before changing the fluid.
