Useful Terms You Should Know

1. TRANSMISSION: also commonly called, tranny, transaxle, gear box, trans, unit, or when broken, simply a core or piece of junk.

2. SLIPPING: this term describes a racing up of the motor when the transmission is in gear, without a coinsiding acceleration of the vehicle. This can be very slight, or very pronounced.

3. ATF: abbreviation for automatic transmission fluid. Also commonly called simply oil. (if you are talking to a transmission repair person and they ask if you have checked the oil, they mean the ATF.)

4. LEAKING: describes fluid or oil coming out of the transmission.

5. SHIFT: this is what the transmission does as you drive under normal circumstances, this is not the act of moving the lever from park to reverse or drive.
