What You Need To Know About Transmission Service

Automatic transmissions have come a long way in recent years, thanks to advances in both technology and engineering. Today’s transmission are more than just a simple gearbox–they’re carefully calibrated computer-controlled systems that play a vital role in the overall performance of a vehicle. One of the most notable changes is the addition of more gears. Where once four gears was the norm, today’s transmission often have six, seven, or even eight speeds. This allows for more precise shifting and helps the engine run more efficiently. Another major change is the switch from hydraulic to electronic controls. This has made transmission simpler and more reliable, while also allowing for features such as transmission-mounted electric coolers and Adaptive Shift Control (which automatically adjusts shifting patterns based on driving conditions). Thanks to these advances, automatic transmission are better than ever–and are only going to continue to improve in the years to come.

Most people don’t think about their transmission until it starts giving them trouble. But the transmission is an essential part of your car, and it’s important to understand how it works in order to keep it running properly. The transmission is responsible for shifting gears as you speed up or slow down, and it relies on transmission fluid to keep all the moving parts lubricated. If the fluid level gets low, or the fluid becomes dirty or sludgy, it can lead to transmission problems. The best way to prevent transmission problems is to have the transmission flushed and the fluid replaced according to the schedule in your owner’s manual. By taking good care of your transmission, you can help ensure that it will last for many years to come.

Most newer vehicles require special transmission fluids – we can make sure you get the type your manufacturer recommends.

As you can imagine, repairing one of these new transmissions can be quite costly.  That’s why manufacturers have a schedule for how often you should change the fluid and what type of fluid to use. Schedule a transmission fluid flush or repair today.
