An Overview of Transmission Maintenance
Every car has a transmission—most of them automatic, some manual—and all of them do basically the same thing: The job of the vehicle transmission is to regulate the amount of power that goes to your wheels, always relative to the speed at which you’re traveling. The transmission actively shifts gears, much like on a multi-speed bike. Of course, there are some key distinctions between automatic and manual transmission, but what’s the same across every vehicle is that attending to regular transmission maintenance is vitally important.
How Often Should You Get a Transmission Flush?
It’s important to take your vehicle to Meineke whenever you notice problems with the transmission. As for how often you should have a transmission flush, that depends on the vehicle; some manufacturers recommend getting a transmission flush every 30,000 miles or so, others every 100,000. You can check in your owner’s manual, but what we really recommend is just having your transmission fluid looked at when you take your vehicle in for routine maintenance, like a tire rotation or oil change.
How Does Your Vehicle Transmission Work?
The transmission is one of the most important systems in your vehicle, yet many drivers don’t quite understand how it works. Essentially, the transmission regulates the amount of power your engine sends to the wheels, relative to the speed you’re going—ensuring an optimal performance. To accomplish this, your transmission needs transmission fluid, which lubricates your gears and prevents wear and tear. Additionally, vehicle owners should be aware of the need for routine transmission maintenance—and in particular, transmission fluid inspection and replacement. You can have this done at Meineke in Port Orchard WA, and we recommend making it part of your routine preventative maintenance schedule.
Time for Transmission Repair?
Vehicle owners should know that, sooner or later, they may experience problems with their transmission. There are a few telltale signs you should be alert for: Strange rattling or whining noises when the car shifts gears; the car slipping out of gear at random times; or general difficulty with the gear shift process. If you notice any of these issues, that means there could be a problem with your transmission. You’ll want to schedule transmission maintenance at Meineke in Port Orchard WA—sooner rather than later!
Scheduling a Transmission Flush
A common question from vehicle owners: How often is a transmission flush needed? The short answer: It just depends. Some vehicles require a transmission flush more often than others.
