Why You Should Take Your Vehicle In For Transmission Services

The transmission in your vehicle is one of the most essential components, as it is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels. If your vehicle’s transmission is improperly functioning, your car won't be able to move or will have significantly reduced gas mileage and be harder to control, therefore, more dangerous to drive. That's why taking your vehicle in for regular servicing is crucial. This will ensure that it's running smoothly and can undoubtedly help you avoid even costlier repairs down the line.

Here at Mr. Transmission, we offer a wide range of useful services and can help you begin coming up with a course of action. In this blog, we will help you learn more about our full range or services and how they can help keep your car running right.

Transmission Fluid Changes

Transmission fluid is a crucial component when it comes to keeping everything running smoothly. Since it acts as a lubricant, it ensures that the gears inside your transmission can move freely without excessive wear and tear. It also helps to clean gunk and keep the gears of the transmission free to move the way they need to. However, over time, this fluid can break down and become contaminated. As a result, you could experience decreased performance and, in some cases, transmission failure.

While a warning light on your dashboard is an obvious sign that you need to have your car, truck, or SUV serviced, it's certainly not the only indication. A burning smell from your engine, difficulty shifting gears, or other unusual noises indicate an improperly functioning vehicle.

So, what happens during a transmission fluid change? During your visit, our trained technicians will drain the old fluid from your vehicle and replace it with fresh, clean fluid. By routinely having this completed, you can prevent your car from overheating, improve your fuel economy, and ensure that your car or truck is operating safely and efficiently. As for when you should change your transmission fluid, we recommend anywhere between 10,000 to 100,000 miles.

Transmission Flushes

A step up from a traditional fluid change is a transmission flush. Unlike a fluid change, this involves the removal of all of the old fluid. This stands in contrast to a fluid change that only replaces a portion of it, so it's especially useful when removing dust, dirt, and other debris. A simple way to look at this is to view it as a complete refresh of your transmission.

By taking this step, you can prolong the life of your car, truck, van, or SUV. Many manufacturers recommend having your transmission flushed every 60,000-100,000 miles, but if you would like specific guidance about your vehicle, don't hesitate to reach out today. Our experienced mechanics are always here to help you understand the ins and outs of each of our services.
