The transmission of your vehicle is a system of gears and sensors that deliver the power from your engine to your drivetrain and wheels. It is one of the most critical components of your vehicle that ensures that energy provided by the engine travels smoothly to the tires and to the road. Your transmission needs transmission fluid which provides hydraulic power and lubrication necessary for the intricate parts to operate properly.

A complete transmission service should include:

• removing and examining the sump or pan (where possible)

• replacing or cleaning the screen or filter

• cleaning the pan

• reinstalling the pan with a new pan gasket

• pumping out the rest of the old fluid and replacing it with new, high-quality ATF

• adding a friction modifier or additive package (model-specific)

New fluid restores the holding power between the clutches, reducing slip and heat production.  At the same time, flushing the old fluid washes away tiny particles of clutch material and metal shavings. Those particles clog passages and wedge between moving parts, causing wear throughout the transmission. Changing the fluid eliminates those particles and the wear they cause.  The net result of changing the fluid is to provide better lubrication, improve the holding ability of the friction components, and reduce heat. So your transmission works better for years longer, which means you’re less likely to face a major transmission repair. Transmission replacements are extremely expensive, so proper maintenance is key to avoiding unnecessary repairs and replacements.
