What a Transmission Does

Your transmission is mainly responsible for the transfer of power from your engine to your wheels. Without this process, you wouldn’t be able to go anywhere, as your wheels would never budge an inch. With all this hard work, your transmission is bound to create a lot of heat, which is why you need a fluid system packed with automatic transmission fluid. This helps to cool things down while also providing much-needed lubrication. By reducing friction, this fluid system can prolong the life of your transmission by keeping it from melting itself. When your fluids run low, you’re risking the health of this vital part, which can be incredibly expensive to fix.

When You Need Fluid

Since your transmission fluid is vital to your vehicle’s performance and longevity, you’re going to want to make sure that you’re topped up with fresh fluid. An easy way to check is through your transmission dipstick, where you’ll be able to see directly if you need new fluid. The color should be a brilliant red, so if you notice that it’s particularly dark, it may be filled with particulates. You’re going to want to schedule an immediate service in this case, as this may affect your fluid’s performance. It’s generally recommended that you receive service every 30,000 to 50,000 miles, but your owner’s manual may outline that you need service sooner depending on your model. If you experience your transmission slipping, where the engine seemingly isn’t coordinated with your wheels, you’re going to want to make sure that you receive proper maintenance quickly.

Quality Service

When you come in for a fluid flush, our mechanics will make sure that every drop of contaminated fluid is removed from your vehicle. This ensures that you won’t have to deal with any old automatic transmission fluid clogging up your system and interfering with performance. There will also be a thorough check for leaks so that you won’t have to worry about needing a new fluid change a few weeks later. This can help you get ahead of possible problems, saving you money in the long run. Your transmission is one of the most expensive parts of your vehicle, so it’s important to make sure that it has everything it needs to run smoothly. While you’re receiving service, you may want to consider having your other fluids changed so that you can get ahead of your other services. You’ll most likely want to change your oil, as this is one of the most common services needed. By staying on top of both your oil and ATF, you can avoid overheating issues in your vehicle.
