Welcome to the Drive Train Page
This page is designed to help people with their automotive
transmission and differential questions. I have been a professional
transmission and differential technician for years, and need an
excuse to write a web page. Please bear with me as I learn HTML,
and try to answer any questions you may have concerning automotive
drive trains. There will be a wide variety of people accessing
this page (I hope!), each with a different level of expertise
concerning automotive repair, so I will have some basic articles
as well as some technical ones. Let me know if you have a question
or a suggestion about a topic, and I will try to include it on
this page. 
E-mail
Please me if you
have any suggestions for articles, any fixes that you've discovered
for a particular problem, or any questions about a particular
drive train component (no matter how basic or how technical) and
I will do my best to answer your questions. I learn a great deal
by attempting to answer other peoples questions. I've been told
a person learns from his/her mistakes. . . . If that's the case,
I've learned a whole lot through the years!
My Repair Philosophy
My philosophy is simple; Fix it right, fix it completely, and don't take any short cuts. My employer thinks I am a fanatic, and tells me that I spend far too much time, and effort making each repair I perform, into a "work of art". I can live with this critisizm. So, if I seem a little bit "short" on a reply, when you simply want to find a "cheap" way to get out of spending what is required, to get your vehicle repaired properly, you will now know why. If there is a less-expensive way to do it right, fix it completely, and not take any shortcuts, then this less-expensive way would be The right way to fix it, and there would not be the more expensive way of doing it. Period! Sorry, and, yes, there are probably ways of "patching your car" so it will go a little longer, but I will not show you any of these methods; you will need to find these "pearls of wisdom" somewhere else, perhaps on the internet, or elsewhere. If you are interested in the "right" way of having your car fixed, to get the maximum reliability out of your transmission, and worry, the least amount possible, about fixing it again, then you have come to the right place.
