Automatic Transmissions And Horse Riding..

Our Transmissions work like a horse

What do automatic transmissions have in common with horseback riding? No much. The thing that comes to mind is both automatic transmissions and competitive horse jumpers both operate in a smooth effortless manner. The smoother and more effortless the better.

Both horses and transmissions need at a minimum, adequate care, although above average care works much better. A well fed and cared for horse will outperform an old gray mare getting fed tons (literally) of grains instead of being pasture raised. Not only that, it will outlive and have a better life than a horse that is ready for the glue factory. Which is animal abuse and we don’t support that here.

A properly maintained automatic transmission works in an efficient and effortless manner to the person who gets in the car and takes off. Usually, people like that never even think about what a marvel of engineering a transmission is, or have any thoughts about this unreal piece of machinery until it needs a maintenance or has a problem.

Care, smoothness and grace are the common denominators between a transmission and a riding horse. Nearly everything lasts longer and runs better with care and the right fuel. Grain fed horses may be fatter for processing and selling to the public for food, but pasture raised horses are healthier and perform at a higher level on the race track.

A transmission that is fed conventional transmission fluid rather than synthetic transmission fluid is like a horse being fed grains, simply put, not as healthy and sturdy for work purposes as pasture raised animals.

The point is that much like a race horse, car transmissions need care in order to perform it’s best and live as long as possible. Caring for your transmission will also keep it invisible for the most part, on top of shifting it’s smoothest.
