Other than the self start-
er, probably nothing has
contributed more to driving
pleasure than the automatic
transmission, As trouble
free as this
complicated
mechanism is,
it is not in-
destructible.
There are a
few things
which •can.
shorten its
life.
.For exam-
ple: a driver
stalls his car
at a traffic light, finally
gets it running again and,
with engine roaring, moves
his shift lever to "D". Or
on a steep upgrade, he. is
waiting for a red light to
turn green. He uses the
gas _ pedal instead of the
brake, allowing the engine
to hold him in position.
If cars could talk, his
would cry!
These are two of the
most common abuses to
which automatic transmis-
sions are subjected, But
there are more.
Have you ever seen some-
one park by giving the car
ahead (or behind) a good
solid nudge to make extra
space? If the nudged car is
in "park," a little gadget
inside the transmission can
be broken, This. happened
more than once,
Use ,your parking brake
instead of "park" whenever
there is a possibility of being
bumped or pushed by an-
other car. •
While we're on the sub-
ject of "park," NEVER move
your shift lever to "park"
while the car is in motion.
This can have the same
unfortunate result as being
bumped.
Some drivers manage to
put their cars in reverse
while they are going for-
ward. Although the auto-
matic transmission has a
special locking device to
prevent this from happen-
ing, who knows if the device
is working?
The jar when, a wheel
suddenly contacts dry sur-
face after spinning fast on
.ice can be disastrous to a
transmission. So can ex-
tended periods of pushing
or being pushed.
Treat your automatic
transmission with respect
and the care recommended
in your owner's manual, and
it will keep shifting for you
fOr years and years.
Abuse it, and you may be
faced with a whopping re-
pair bill.

HERE'S YOUR TICKET TO CAREFREE M
Perhaps one definition of a young old-timer is someone who recalls those long
railroad passenger tickets, On a cross-country trip, a ticket could be several feet
in length, with each coupon , representing one stop on the journey. Since the
automobile now carries about 85 percent of all vacation.travelers, it,might be a
good idea to resurrect the old train ticket to remind the motorist of vital serv-
ices. Each portion of the "Carefree Car Vacation" ticket above describes a
service that will, help keep your car in top condition during your vacation. Car
Care Council suggests that you use it as a reminder when getting these services
performed at your favorite service facility, Xn that -way you'll be sure that
you're on the right track every mile you're on the road. •
