Why is my Transmission Blown? When a transmission is blown it can be caused by many different things. Sometimes a blown transmission can happen from poor design or manufacturing. The age of transmission can also likely be a reason for a blown transmission. If a car does lots of heavy towing it is bound to put too much wear on a transmission, especially if a transmission is not factory-made for towing. Rough driving, such as consistently accelerating too fast or shifting between gears abruptly can blow a transmission out over some time. Even extreme weather can be to blame for a failed transmission. Regular transmission maintenance is also of great importance when caring for your transmission. Check your transmission fluid often and change it if it is needed. Take note of any early signs of transmission failure and get your car checked out by a professional transmission shop before a simple transmission repair becomes an expensive fix.
