Transmission Flush and Fill Landisburg, PA
Transmission fluid is also called transmission oil because it performs many of the same functions motor oil does. Most vehicle manufacturers recommend a transmission fluid flush and change every 30,000 miles or every two years if the mileage milestone hasn’t been met yet. This keeps the fluid clean, fresh, and ready to do its job protecting your vehicle’s transmission, whether automatic or manual.
Transmission Fluids Landisburg, PA
Transmission fluid lubricates gears to prevent them from grinding in both automatic and manual transmissions. As with your vehicle’s motor oil, the transmission fluid also prevents excessive friction between the gears so the parts themselves do not overheat. When driving a stick, you push the transmission fluid through the system each time you change gears. Automatic transmissions use hydraulic pressure to move the transmission fluid through the system.
Transmission Fluid Leaks Landisburg, PA
Your vehicle’s transmission can spring leaks over time. Older vehicles or vehicles that have been in a serious accident can leak transmission fluid from the cooler lines, pan gasket, or system seals. If you see pink to dark red fluid leaking onto your garage floor from the center of your vehicle – not the front where the engine is – you likely have a transmission leak. It’s important to have the leak fixed right away, as driving with low transmission oil can affect the transmission’s performance and damage it.
