Transmission Dixon Road

[Dashonn Moulton]

Transmissionsare one of the most important parts of your vehicle. Whether your vehicle has an automatic transmission or a manual transmission, this component is what makes your car move forward. The transmission works to send the power from the internal combustion engine to the wheels. There are two different types of transmissions that work differently:

Grinding when changing gears: If you are changing gears in your manual transmission and notice a grinding noise, there is some underlying issue that needs to be looked at. For automatic transmissions, if you notice your vehicle shaking, it is a sign that there is something wrong with the gears.

Problems with shifting gears: A normal transmission allows you to change gears smoothly without any difficulty. If there is any hesitation, jerking, and/or the gears change without you doing so, the transmission needs to be fixed.

Unusual noises and clunks: If you put your vehicle in neutral and hear excessive noises, like clunking noises, come to Dixon's Automotive in Dayton, where our technicians can properly examine your transmission.

Leaking transmission fluid: Transmission fluids are typically red. If you notice a red fluid leaking underneath your vehicle, you need to get your transmission repaired as soon as possible.

The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) amended the CERCLA legislation in 1986. Among other changes, SARA established the Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP), which is managed by the Office of the Deputy Under-Secretary of Defense, Installations and Environment. The DERP cleans up hazardous substances, pollutants, contaminants, and military munitions remaining from past activities at military installations and formerly used defense sites.

NRTF Dixon, is a United States Pacific Fleet transmitter facility in Solano County, California. The facility encompasses 1,280 acres of land and includes a transmitter building and antennas, a housing area, agricultural areas, and a designated natural resource management area. Approximately 62 acres at NRTF Dixon consist of open space, roadways, drainage canals, and a small reservoir. The Navy has designated the reservoir near the northwest corner of the facility as a wetland area and has reserved approximately 158 acres of the facility as a designated wildlife refuge area.

The Navy bought the property that would become NRTF Dixon in 1941 for use as a radio transmitting station. Construction began in 1946, and NRTF Dixon was established in 1947 as a fleet communications facility for Naval Communications Station, Stockton. NRTF Dixon provided services and equipment to regional commands including Naval Air Station Moffett Field, Naval Air Station Alameda, and Patrol Wings United States Pacific Fleet.

From 1963 to 1966, NRTF Dixon was expanded to add more antennas, transmission lines, transmitters, and electronic equipment. Navy personnel operated the installation until 1979 when it was converted to a contractor-operated facility. It continues to be a Navy-owned, contractor-operated facility.

The Navy instituted the IRP at NRTF Dixon to meet the requirements of CERCLA. The facility has five IR Sites with a total of 15 groundwater monitoring wells. Investigations at IRP Sites 1, 2, and 3 were initiated in 1987. These three original sites are identified as IRP Site 1, the Waste Blowdown Area; IRP Site 2, Landfill Area A; and IRP Site 3, Landfill Area B. IRP Site 4, the Automobile Landfill, was identified in 1989 during a geophysical survey conducted to locate potential buried drums of pesticides. IRP Site 5 is the basewide investigation in shallow groundwater beneath NRTF Dixon. It includes the groundwater beneath IRP Sites 1, 2, 3, and 4.

IRP Sites 1, 2, 4, and 5 were found to pose little to no risk to human health or the environment and were closed with no further action required. IR Site 3 is active and in the process of gaining regulatory approval for site closure.

The Navy is preparing a final action memorandum for MRP Site UXO1, a former firing range limited to recreational use, for regulatory agency review, as well as planning documents for the proposed excavation and offsite disposal of lead contaminated soil.

Cylinder Block

A cylinder block is the powerhouse for the motor vehicle. The solid cast car part houses the cylinders and their components (gaskets, valves, and seals) inside a lubricated and cooled crankcase. Since it is one of the most important parts of your car, the block is designed to be extremely strong and sturdy. Although strong and sturdy, the block is susceptible to failure resulting in a vehicle that won't start. Cracked blocks, porous blocks, core plug, or freeze plug failure are some of the problems facing cylinder blocks. Call 512-288-0094 to talk to the mechanics of Jerry Dixon's Automotive & Klassic Kar Center, Inc. about your cylinder block problems.

Cylinder Head

A cylinder head is the closed end of a cylinder (located in a car's engine block). It sits above the cylinder block, closing the top of the cylinder and forming the combustion chamber. The cylinder head coordinates airflow in and out of the engine. Since the cylinder head's chief function is to seal the cylinders properly, insufficient compression results in the car being difficult to drive. To have your cylinder head checked and repaired, talk to Jerry Dixon's Automotive & Klassic Kar Center, Inc.'s cylinder head repair and reconditioning specialists today.

Engine Maintenance

Any car part manufacturer will tell you that preventive maintenance is critical to the part's lifespan. Like other auto parts, car engines aren't built to last forever. However, you can increase the engine's lifespan by performing regular preventive maintenance. The easiest way to maintain peak performance and fuel economy is to provide regular engine maintenance for your vehicle.

Timing Belt

A timing belt is a part of your car's internal combustion engine. The belt synchronizes the camshaft and the crankshaft rotation so that the engine valves open and close at the correct timings. Also, the belt prevents the piston from striking the valves in an interference engine. A timing belt is a rubber belt that usually features teeth on the inside surface, while a timing chain is a metal roller chain. Most cars we drive now have timing belts instead of timing chains and gears. Although different manufacturers have their recommended mileage, you need to have your car's timing belt checked regularly. To have it checked by experts, contact Jerry Dixon's Automotive & Klassic Kar Center, Inc. today.

Transmission Flush

Although most manufacturers recommend a transmission flush every 30,000 miles or every two years, some symptoms may indicate that you need a transmission flush sooner. Some of the symptoms that indicate that your car needs a transmission flush sooner are: transmission grinding or strange noises, problems shifting gears, slipping gears, surging of the car, and delay in vehicle movement. Flushing the used fluid from the transmission washes away tiny particles of dirt, clutch material, and metal shavings. For all your transmission flush needs, call 512-288-0094 or visit Jerry Dixon's Automotive & Klassic Kar Center, Inc. today - we are transmission experts.
