Transmission Fluid Exchange

Transmission Fluid Inspections

Transmission fluid generally requires routine inspections and exchange service when the fluid has been contaminated or allowed to leak. We have expertly trained technicians ready to inspect and exchange your vehicle's transmission fluid at the recommended mileage or in response to the warning signs of faulty fluid. We use a special test to verify that transmission fluid has lost integrity and needs to be exchanged and we can find problem parts like gaskets allowing leaks quickly.

Transmission Fluid 101

Transmission fluid works as a lubricating hydraulic fluid able to lubricate moving parts while also transferring energy readily without molecular compression. This fluid is required for the transmission to function properly and will cause major problems if it gets contaminated or leaks. Transmission fluid requires regular inspections at the specified mileage found in the owner's manual and exchange service when it loses integrity.

Warning Signs of Defective Transmission Fluid in Need of Exchange Service

Transmission fluid generally serves its purpose and is out of sight and out of mind getting the job done until it doesn't. Given the importance of the transmission to overall vehicle performance and reliability, we encourage our customers to schedule service swiftly in response to any of these troubling transmission warnings:

• Transmission slips out of gear without reason
• Overheating transmission (often with a warning light or excessive heat inside the cabin)
• Irregular shifting or unable to shift
• Delayed engagement of gears
• Transmission fails and immobilizes the vehicle
