Fact Or Fiction? Even though I know my transmission needs repairs, I can continue to drive my vehicle.

Answer: Fiction. You can certainly continue to drive your automobile until  it breaks down; however, this decision isn't very economical. Driving until your transmission fails will likely result in higher repair bills and other damaged engine parts.

Fact Or Fiction? Transmissions fail without warning.

Fact Or Fiction? Transmission maintenance shops specialize only in a select few makes and models.
