The Benefits of Transmission Service
Caring for your transmission is similar to caring for your engine. Both of these components work hard to allow you to maximize performance and enhance fuel economy. Just like your engine oil, your transmission fluid must be clean and free from sludge, dirt or debris to properly lubricate all parts of the system.
That’s why transmission service is so important. When scheduling a transmission fluid flush or automatic transmission service at our Chevy Service Center, our team fully inspects all working components of the system, including the drain pan, pan gasket, transmission pan, cooler line and torque converter. We also check the fluid level to detect any transmission problems.
Our transmission service also includes identifying if you need a transmission flush. During this process, our certified technicians perform the transmission fluid exchange with a flushing machine. We add a cleaner to fully flush out any sludge, varnish or dirt that could clog the system and then add fresh fluid.
Whether you have a CVT, manual transmission or automatic transmission, staying on top of a maintenance schedule and scheduling a transmission fluid flush as needed will help to ward off any future problems with your vehicle’s transmission. Contact the team at our Chevy service center to learn more about how to care for your system to ward off transmission repairs.
When to Schedule a Transmission Fluid Flush
The team at our Chevy auto repair shop goes above and beyond to not only care for your vehicle but also keep you informed on when to schedule maintenance and transmission service. Most manufacturers recommend automatic transmission service and a transmission fluid flush every two years or 30,000 miles.
We recommend that you check your owner’s manual or speak with our technicians to determine if this timeline is the best option for your make or model. There are also some factors that can beg the need for a transmission flush or transmission repairs sooner vs later. For instance, if you drive in very hot climates, buildup within the fluid is likely to occur at a faster rate.
How you drive also impacts the timeline for transmission service. For instance, drivers who hover with their foot over the brake pedal can add more stress to the transmission and the engine over time.
Although our service center technicians perform thorough inspections at each service visit, there may also be some signs you notice that could indicate the need for a transmission flush or transmission service. A grinding noise from the engine or an odd, burning odor could indicate transmission problems.
In addition, if you notice a delay or find it more difficult to shift when accelerating, it’s best to contact our service center team to schedule transmission service. Primarily, if your check engine light illuminates, this could also indicate the need for transmission service.
How to Care for Your System
You can leave the heavy-duty work to us; however, to maximize performance and increase fuel efficiency, there are some things you can do in between service visits. Caring for your coolant system will greatly improve how your transmission functions. The cooling system works collaboratively with both the transmission and the engine. If your vehicle runs hot, this adds pressure to both systems.
We also recommend checking the level and appearance of your transmission fluid. If you notice that it is cloudy or dark, this is a sign that you need transmission service.
