Transmission Maintenance
Transmissions play a crucial role in converting engine power to deliver high torque at low speeds while selecting the correct gears determined by driving conditions. This is particularly relevant for automatic transmissions, which are the most common type in the U.S. Unlike manual transmissions that use a clutch, automatic transmissions employ a torque converter and pressure sensors to manage gear changes. Given the demanding nature of this task, regular maintenance is vital to ensure ideal operation.
Luckily, we do not need to fully understand the inner workings of a transmission in order to drive. Car owners simply need to stay up to date with maintenance. Our essential transmission maintenance services include:
​
Draining the transmission
Refilling with new Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)
Replacing the filter (if applicable for your vehicle)
Neglecting regular transmission service can lead to significant problems. Without timely fluid changes, the heat generated by friction can cause rough shifting, increased wear (that is not reversible), and potentially severe damage. Lubricating and cooling with high-quality fluids, expertly applied by our professionals, will give you the best chance at a long lasting transmission.
