Transmission Fluid Flush

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.

How Often Should I Get a Transmission Fluid Flush?

The transmission fluid becomes dirty and breaks down due to the heat created in the system. When this happens, the fluid needs to be replaced and a transmission flush should be done. A transmission flush is recommended every 30,000 miles, or every two years, to keep your vehicle performing it's best and to extend the life of your transmission.

How is a Transmission Fluid Flush Performed?

Your transmission needs regular maintenance which includes getting a transmission flush.  A transmission flush is a process whereby technicians remove all the old transmission fluid and replenishes it with new transmission fluid. The old fluid is drained, followed by a process of removing all the grit and grime and sludge that accumulate inside the transmission. Once this is done, the transmission filter is replaced, and new transmission fluid is added to your transmission.

  • Your transmission fluid is a dark in color and has a burned odor
  • Transmission fluid is leaking
  • Vehicle surges or stalls temporarily after being put into gear
  • Slipping gears
  • Problems changing gears
