Transmission Fluid needs attention too!!

Your transmission’s vital parts get clogged with sludge and varnish deposits because, just like oil in your car’s engine, automatic transmission fluid (ATF) suffers from heat, friction and electrochemical degradation.  In fact, nearly nine out of ten transmission failures are due to over heating and fluid contamination.
​
            However, unlike oil, which can be completely drained from your car’s engine, most of the transmission fluid cannot be drained.  Instead it stays in the torque converter, valve body and transmission cooler lines, making a complete fluid drain impossible.
 
            Typical transmission service removes and replaces only 25% of your car’s contaminated automatic transmission fluid.  Adding new fluid to the remaining contaminated fluid can actually cause sludge and varnish deposits to clog filter and further restrict flow.  This can result in serious malfunction or even complete failure of your automatic transmission.

Now you have an option!  Our transmission flush machine provides you with the latest service procedure that safely removes varnish and sludge deposits and cleans all internal transmission components, including the transmission cooler, valve body and torque converter.  This service is also the best way to remove wear metals that are slowly grinding away on your transmission’s internal components along with most of the old, contaminated ATF.  Your car’s transmission is thoroughly cleaned and protected with fresh ATF and conditioners that revitalize the seals and o-rings.
 
            If your car’s transmission is showing any signs of contaminated transmission fluid, slippage, rough or hard shifting, this service is the first thing you should try before it becomes necessary to perform major repair work or even the need for a new transmission.   Factory recommendation on most vehicles for a transmission fluid flush is 30,000 to 60,000 miles.  Even if your vehicle is not showing signs of contamination, but the mileage is telling you it's time, don't wait!  The biggest piece of advise we give is to have regular maintenance performed to keep your vehicle running stronger for longer (hopefully avoiding costly repairs).

I am glad to know that transmission flush is essential at a regular interval even if the vehicle doesn't show any kind of abnormalities. Transmission fluid lubricates different components of the transmission to reduce friction among them. However, due to deposition of dirt in the transmission fluid, the efficient of lubrication of the transmission fluid is affected. Transmission flush after certain time interval could enhance the efficient f the transmission.

I appreciate your suggestion to flush the transmission fluid after an interval of about 30,000 to 60,000 miles. Transmission flush is essential to remove the deposited debris from the transmission which is really essential to keep the transmission in working order. Besides, the filter used in the transmission should also be replaced after a certain time interval. Because the deposition of sludge in this filter has a negative influence on its filtration ability. So, the condition of different types of filters used in the vehicle including the transmission filter should be inspected regularly and if necessary should be replaced with suitable substitutes.

Transmission fluid is an important part of the transmission. It lubricates different parts of the transmission and keeps it cool. About nine out of ten transmission failures are caused due to overheating and fluid contamination. Unlike engine oil, the transmission fluid can't be drained completely. Instead it stays inside the valve body and transmission cooler lines. Therefore it is necessary to flush the transmission after an interval of about 30,000-60,000 miles to remove all the sludge deposits and old, contaminated transmission fluid for enhancing the efficiency of the transmission.

I do agree that the transmission fluid plays an important role in the performance of the transmission as such lubricants ensure the smoother and friction-less performance of the transmission. Lack of an adequate amount of lubrication could influence the performance of the transmission in a very adverse way. So, the quality of the lubricant should be inspected regularly and burnt lubricant should be replaced with suitable substitutes. To know more about the transmission maintenance, visit

Thank you for explaining that I should get my transmission serviced and flushed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. I bought my car when it had about 150,000 miles on it and it is almost to 180,000. I'll follow your advice and take it to a mechanic and get the transmission checked out.

I never knew that your car's transmission fluid is essential since it can affect your vehicle's transmission system. I first heard this term in one of those family dramas I watched last weekend. I'll be sure to consult a car repair expert for help when this happens to my vehicle.

I want to make sure that I take good care of my car. It makes sense that I would want to keep an eye on my transmission. I'll make sure that it has enough transmission fluid.

Thanks so much for explaining the importance of taking care of your transmission fluid. My partner's car is pretty old and we want to make sure everything is taken care of before the weather turns bad. We've been looking into getting it into an auto shop and seeing if anything in the transmission that needs repair.
