Automatic Transmission Fluid Flush Service

Transmission gears deliver power from the engine to the drive wheels; shifting automatically to provide the best power and efficiency for your driving speed. A speed transmission fluid cools and lubricates the gears. As you drive further, the fluids degrade and lubricant qualities diminish. Fluid flush services at correct intervals can help prevent premature wear and damage to the transmission.

What is Manual Transmission Service?

A transmission is a speed and power-changing device located between the engine and the wheels. It provides a means for changing the ratio between engine RPM and driving wheel RPM to meet each particular driving situation.

Manual transmission fluid provides lubrication to gears, bearing, shafts and other internal components. Heat, pressure and friction can slowly breakdown the additives in the manual transmission fluid. Fluid flush service is able to clean up small particles of metal that came off the engine as the wear and can prevent these materials from mixing with the fluid.

What Is Transmission Fluid Flush Service?

As simple as removing the old transmission fluid and replacing it with a new one is the whole idea. This also means checking the recommended grade of fluid written by the manufacturer. Automatic transmission drain and fill is the first step in fluid flush services. The ATF lubricates, cools, and cleans internal components of the transmission. It also helps maintain the hydraulic pressure necessary for the transmission to function. The additives in the transmission fluid can be depleted overtime. This process includes the following: removal of the transmission fluid, reinstalling transmission fill/drain plug, and refilling transmission with new transmission fluid to the proper level.

How can Transmission Filter Replacement help?

Transmission fluid flush services do not focus on fluids only; the filters play a huge role in keeping a clean fluid running through your engine. Changing of the fluid in the transmission system, including the torque converter and transmission cooler is the first process followed by the removal of the transmission pan, removal of old transmission filter, and replacing it with a new transmission filter; it is best for you to pick a new gasket and reinstall a pan that is made by higher quality of materials for it to last long.
