Transmission replacement or rebuilding isn't cheap. It's important to maintain your transmission for as long as possible, so why wouldn't you? Below is a guide to maximizing the performance of your transmission. When you want to schedule transmission maintenance for your vehicle, contact G & J Auto Repair Shop in Inglewood and Bellflower, CA for expert service.
Get Regular Transmission Fluid Flushes
Typically, cars need a transmission fluid flush every 30,000 miles or every two years to avoid issues. Flushing the transmission removes impurities and sludge from the system, making it easier for new fluid to enter. If you begin to experience grinding noises while driving, changing gears becomes challenging or gears begin to slip, or your transmission fluid has a black color and burnt smell, your car most likely needs a fluid flush.
Use Synthetic Fluid
Despite the fact that standard fluid is completely functional, synthetic fluid is more efficient at lubricating transmissions because it resists heat better. Converting to synthetic fluid may result in smoother shifting in automatic transmissions, as well as a longer transmission lifespan.
Keep Fluids Topped Up
Among other things, transmission fluid lubricates gearboxes, cools engines, and powers automatic transmissions. Make sure your transmission fluid level is checked as frequently as your oil level to avoid costly repairs. The same signs that indicate a fluid flush is needed also point to low transmission fluid levels.
