Transmission Service

Critical parts that wear out for your transmission

Imagine peddling a bike, you would like to keep your feet turning so many times a minute. So you use the gears on your bike to keep your feet pedaling at the same rate. You also use your gears to adjust to the load, such as when climbing a hill. While transmission fluid keeps all the parts moving smoothly, like your engine oil, transmission fluid has an effective service lifespan too. Do to the complex nature of the parts in your transmission, undoing the drain plug, does not drain all the fluid out. To fully change all the fluid in your transmission, you need to do a fluid flush.
