What’s Involved In A Transmission Service

The transmission is one of the most important parts of your vehicle. Like most essential parts in your car, the transmission requires regular servicing and maintenance in order to continue to function correctly. The transmission is responsible for changing gears and transferring power from the engine to the wheels of your car.

Most people don’t think about their transmission until there is a problem. By bringing your car in for its regular service, mechanics can identify any transmission problems before they become costly, and help to prevent future failures from occurring at all. Regular servicing will also help to extend the life of your transmission. 

To keep yourself and your passengers safe on the road, you should get a transmission service as soon as you notice a problem, including strange noises, fluid leaks, or a grinding when shifting gears. Some experts even recommend that a transmission service be performed on your car at least once every year to ensure optimal performance.

Key Parts Of The Transmission To Be Serviced

Transmission fluid is a clear red fluid that lubricates the gears in your car’s transmission. Over time, a combination of heat and friction can cause this fluid to break down. Your mechanic will often check the colour of the fluid – if it is discoloured or has a strange smell, this usually indicates there is an issue and will prompt your mechanic to conduct a further investigation. Most repairs will start by removing the transmission drain plug to drain old fluid, and then refill the transmission system with the fluid recommended by your car’s manufacturer.

The transmission system also includes a number of other internal components that help your car function effectively. When you bring your car in for a transmission service, your mechanic may also check components such as the filter, which removes dirt and debris, and the transmission sump and pan. Your mechanic will identify any wear and tear within these components and advise you if the damage is extensive enough to require a transmission filter replacement.
