Transmission

Let's talk about your transmission.

Transmissions are heavy duty pieces of equipment that are designed to last a long time for most drivers. But like any other machine, they'll eventually wear out and need repair. So let's focus on what you can do to push that day off as far as possible.

The first thing you can do is to make sure your transmission always has enough fluid. Transmission fluid cools and lubricates the transmission. When there's not enough fluid, the transmission will run hotter and wear out sooner.

The transmission fluid also provides the pressure needed to transfer power from the engine to the transmission. Not enough fluid, and your transmission won't shift properly.

Your service center will check your transmission fluid level with a full service oil change and top it off if needed. If you see any transmission fluid on the driveway – it's a reddish color – have us inspect it for a leak. A gasket, hose or seal could be leaking and may need to be repaired.

The next thing you can do to prolong the life of your transmission is to replace your transmission fluid on schedule. As you can imagine, all those gears grinding on each other result in lots of little bits of metal in the fluid. The more there is, the faster the transmission parts will wear out.

Transmission fluid also contains detergents and other additives to protect your transmission. These additives are depleted over time, so old fluid doesn't protect as well as new fluid. Your owner's manual or Auto Rebuilders Service Center service advisor will have a recommendation for when you should have a transmission service.

If your transmission isn't shifting as smoothly as it should, or if you suspect a transmission leak, let Auto Rebuilders Service Center take a look at it. And ask if it's time for a transmission service. Regular maintenance and taking care of small leaks right away will help your transmission last as long as possible.
