Your car is like an extension of your family. When you hear that strange noise coming from under the hood, it’s time to have a car check-up done, much like how you would go to the doctor if you were not feeling well.
Aside from the engine, your transmission is the largest and most expensive part in your car. The transmission is put together much like a puzzle, with all of the numerous parts connected and working together to get that final picture. You want your transmission puzzle-picture perfect, shifting gears and moving you forward.

But there is nothing funny about it, if these parts fail to work.
