Stuck in the Mud?

When stuck in mud or snow, don’t make the problem worse by damaging an expensive component. If it looks as though you’re really stuck, don’t keep at it. Throwing your car from forward to reverse repeatedly, as well as spinning tires at high speeds, can generate lots of heat and spell trouble for transmissions, clutches, and differentials. It may be cheaper in the long run to call the tow truck rather than risk big repair bills down the road. It’s also a good idea to carry a traction aid in the trunk, such as sand, gravel, or cat litter.
