2. Check Transmission Problems Promptly: Most transmission problems start out small. They get worse over time. Very often, you can eliminate major repairs simply by taking care of the problem early on. Whether it's a warning light on the dash, a few drops of fluid on the garage floor, or a change in the way the transmission operates.

3. Service Your Transmission Regularly: One of the best ways to keep your transmission in good working order is to have it serviced annually. A complete fluid and filter change every year can add years to your transmission's life, and in the end, save you money.

4. Add a Friction Modifier to the Fluid: New fluid can really help your transmission last longer. But there are a number of additives on the market that have demonstrated the ability to increase transmission life and reliability significantly, even beyond the extra miles you could expect from regular service.

5. Install an Auxiliary Cooler: The main reason for transmission failure is heat. Transmission temperatures can quickly exceed 300 degrees F. To help eliminate excess heat from the automatic transmission fluid, have an auxiliary cooler installed

6. Install a Cooler Line Filter: All automatic transmissions have some type of filter inside them. But these filters vary in effectiveness. Meanwhile, loose dirt and metal particles can quickly erode thrust washer and bushing surfaces, clog up passages, and reduce transmission life. One of the best ways to eliminate these contaminants is to add an in-line filter to the transmission cooler lines. These filters are inexpensive and highly effective in removing damaging particles from the transmission fluid.

7. Service the Cooling System: To avoid both engine and transmission problems, keep your car's cooling system clean and in tip-top condition.

8. Tune the Engine: A good running engine reduces the stress on your transmission, so the transmission can last longer without requiring major repairs.
