Revtek Auto Pros: Transmission Service - Keep Your Vehicle Running Smoothly

At Revtek Auto Pros, we understand that your transmission is one of the most critical components of your vehicle. It’s responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels, allowing your car to shift gears smoothly and efficiently. Over time, your transmission fluid can break down, and components can wear out, which is why regular transmission service is essential for maintaining the longevity and performance of your vehicle. Here’s everything you need to know about transmission service, why it’s important, and when to schedule it with Revtek Auto Pros.

Why Transmission Service is Important

Your vehicle’s transmission is a complex system with many moving parts that rely on clean transmission fluid to function properly. Over time, this fluid degrades, losing its ability to lubricate, cool, and protect the transmission components. Without regular service, transmission problems can arise, leading to costly repairs or even transmission failure. Here’s why regular transmission service is so important:

1. Prolongs Transmission Life: Transmission fluid breaks down over time due to heat, friction, and contaminants. Regular service helps remove old fluid and replace it with fresh fluid, extending the life of your transmission and preventing premature wear.

2. Improves Gear Shifting: Old, dirty transmission fluid can cause rough or delayed shifting, making your vehicle’s transmission less responsive. Fresh transmission fluid ensures smooth, seamless gear changes, enhancing your driving experience.

3. Prevents Overheating: Transmission fluid acts as a coolant for your transmission. When it becomes old or contaminated, it loses its ability to dissipate heat, leading to overheating and potential damage to your transmission.

4. Prevents Costly Repairs: Regular transmission service helps catch potential issues early before they develop into major problems. Addressing minor concerns during routine maintenance can save you from expensive repairs or a full transmission replacement.

5. Maintains Vehicle Performance: A well-maintained transmission ensures your vehicle runs efficiently, optimizing performance and fuel economy. Regular service keeps the transmission in top shape, contributing to better overall vehicle health.

What’s Included in a Transmission Service?

At Revtek Auto Pros, we provide a thorough and comprehensive transmission service that includes:

1. Transmission Fluid Change or Flush: Depending on your vehicle’s needs, we’ll either drain and replace the old transmission fluid or perform a complete transmission flush to remove all contaminants. We use high-quality transmission fluid that meets your vehicle’s manufacturer specifications.

2. Transmission Filter Replacement: If your vehicle has a transmission filter, we’ll replace it to ensure that your transmission fluid remains clean and free of debris.

3. Pan Gasket Replacement: During service, we inspect and replace the transmission pan gasket, if necessary, to prevent leaks.

4. Inspection of Transmission Components: Our certified technicians will inspect key transmission components, including the transmission pan, seals, and hoses, for signs of wear, leaks, or damage. We’ll ensure your transmission system is functioning properly and address any concerns.

5. Road Test and Performance Check: After servicing your transmission, we perform a road test to make sure the transmission shifts smoothly and operates correctly. We’ll check for any unusual sounds, delays in shifting, or performance issues.

When to Get Transmission Service

The recommended interval for transmission service depends on your vehicle’s make, model, and driving conditions. Most manufacturers recommend transmission fluid replacement every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but it’s important to consult your vehicle’s owner manual for specific guidelines.

However, certain driving conditions may necessitate more frequent transmission service, including:

• Towing or Hauling: If you frequently tow heavy loads or haul large items, your transmission works harder, which can cause the fluid to degrade more quickly.

• Stop-and-Go Traffic: Frequent city driving, with constant stopping and starting, can cause the transmission to heat up and put extra strain on the fluid.

• High Temperatures: Driving in extreme heat can cause transmission fluid to break down faster, making regular service even more important.

Signs Your Transmission Needs Service

Even if you’re following the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule, it’s important to watch for warning signs that your transmission may need attention sooner. If you notice any of the following, it’s time to schedule a transmission service with Revtek Auto Pros:

• Slipping Gears: If your transmission unexpectedly slips in and out of gear or has trouble staying in gear, it’s a clear sign that your transmission fluid may be low or contaminated.

• Delayed or Rough Shifting: If you experience delays when shifting gears or if shifting feels rough or jerky, it could indicate that your transmission fluid needs to be replaced.

• Leaking Fluid: Transmission fluid is typically red or pink. If you notice a puddle of this fluid under your vehicle, you may have a transmission leak that needs immediate attention.

• Burning Smell: A burning smell can indicate overheating transmission fluid, which may no longer be providing adequate protection for your transmission components.

• Unusual Noises: Grinding, whining, or clunking sounds while shifting or driving could be a sign of low or contaminated transmission fluid or other transmission issues.
