Frequently Asked Questions About Transmissions
Have questions about your vehicle’s transmission? Here are answers to some common queries we receive.
Signs that your transmission may need repair include unusual noises like humming or clunking, difficulty or delay in shifting gears, slipping gears, a burning smell, leaking fluid, the check engine light coming on, or the vehicle behaving erratically while shifting. If you notice any of these issues, it’s crucial to have your transmission checked by a professional to prevent further damage to your vehicle.
Most manufacturers recommend servicing your vehicle’s transmission every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. However, this interval can vary depending on your vehicle type, driving habits, and the transmission fluid used. Regular maintenance helps to keep your transmission in good working order, extend its lifespan, and prevent costly repairs down the line.
Driving with a known transmission issue is not advised, as it can lead to more severe damage and potentially unsafe driving conditions. Even if the vehicle seems drivable, continued use can worsen problems, increase repair costs, and might lead to the vehicle breaking down unexpectedly, risking your safety and that of others.
A transmission flush involves removing all of the old transmission fluid and replacing it with new fluid, while a fluid change replaces only a portion of the fluid, typically done during regular maintenance. Flushing ensures that all the old fluid, which can contain debris and contaminants, is completely removed, whereas a fluid change may leave some old fluid in the transmission.
Deciding to repair or replace your transmission depends on the extent of the damage, the cost of repair compared to the value of your vehicle, and the expected lifespan after repair. A professional mechanic from Auto-Lab can provide a proper assessment and cost estimate, helping you determine the most cost-effective course of action.
