Over time, transmission fluid degrades in quality. Additives in the fluid get depleted, and contaminants make their way into your transmission, causing buildup that affects the smooth working of your transmission. Regularly flushing your transmission fluid will clean out cooler lines and the torque converter. Our technicians will replace the dirty fluid with clean, high-quality transmission fluid that keeps the system lubricated and prevents wear and tear to the transmission.
A full transmission flush will change out all the fluid in your transmission, as opposed to a fluid change or top-up, where old fluid still remains and only a portion is replaced. A full transmission flush is a much more effective service in extending the life of your transmission.
The benefits of maintaining your transmission and regularly flushing the fluid are as follows:
- Prevention of overheating and transmission failure due to inefficient transmission fluid
- Extends transmission life
- Reduces wear on gears and bearings
- Replenishes important additives in the fluid
- Promotes smoother shifting
- Conditions and protects seals
- Lowers operating temperature
