TRANSMISSION SERVICES

Keep Your Vehicle Gearbox Running Efficiently And Smoothly

A vehicle’s regular maintenance service is an essential part of being a car owner. However, transmission services are often neglected by car owners. What exactly is a transmission? The transmission system consists of gears and sensors. This gearbox performs the basic function of delivering the power generated from the engine to drive the wheels. These gears shift automatically to provide efficiency and power for your driving speed. Without regular care and service maintenance, the quality and safety of your ride will be affected.

Know More: Transmission Fluid & Transmission Problems

There are many different types of transmissions, including Manual Transmissions and Automatic Transmissions. To make it simple – automatic transmission vehicles don’t have a clutch pedal, while manual transmission vehicles have clutch and gear shifter to manually change the gears of the car. Transmission fluid can be found on both manual and automatic transmissions.

The activity performed by the gearbox usually generates a lot of heat. So, this is where the transmission fluid comes in. The transmission fluid is a slippery liquid that cleans and lubricates all the moving parts inside the transmission system. It also protects your transmission from damage and overheating. In addition, this fluid serves as a coolant for automatic type transmission. 

Over time, this fluid becomes less efficient, and its lubricant qualities diminish. Changing the transmission fluid at the correct interval will help lengthen the life of the transmission, improve fuel economy, and avoid some costly transmission problems.

Are you experiencing any of the following signs? If so, you need to have your transmission checked by a mechanic.

  • Is your check engine light on?
  • Are you experiencing difficulty in shifting gears?
  • Do you hear grinding or whining noises when shifting gears?
  • Does your car or truck suddenly stop moving?
  • Do you notice any issues with the clutch?
  • Is your transmission sliding, slipping, or jumping during acceleration when shifting gears?
  • Do you notice a bright red fluid (magenta colored and sweet-smelling) on your driveway or garage floor?
  • Do you smell a burnt smell coming from under your hood?

Like the automatic transmission type, the filters also need to be cleaned or replaced along with fluid change.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How often should I have my transmission serviced?

Depending on the type of transmission, the frequency for changing transmission fluid varies widely. It can range from 30,000 miles to more than 100,000 miles. Some manufacturers suggest changing a transmission fluid every 50,000 miles. Make sure to check and follow the recommended schedule in your vehicle owner’s manual.

What affects the quality of transmission fluid?

Extreme driving habits, such as driving on rough terrain, can increase the temperature of the transmission which eventually might lead to premature deterioration of transmission fluid. Always take good care of your transmission, in order to avoid costly transmission repair, or an entire transmission system replacement. If you’re driving an automatic transmission car, you can follow these maintenance tips:

  • Make sure your cooling system is in good working condition because it helps prevent the engine from overheating and ensures the transmission fluid is cooled too.
  • During the winter months, always allow your engine a few minutes to warm up before you begin to drive.
  • For automatic transmission, make sure to change the transmission filter regularly.
  • Avoid putting unnecessary strain on the transmission, by driving on a spare tire for an extended period of time.
