Proper Transmission Upkeep It's
Important
All Transmissions are
sensitive to dirt and any foreign matter. The best way to make it last
is to take care of it. It's the old pay me now or pay me later thing.
I'd rather pay for the upkeep than the repair. Follow this checklist and
you may never need that expensive repair.
-
Check the fluid level
each month; it should be full and red.
-
Change the fluid and
filter every 25,000 miles.
-
In hot weather, if
your car over heats turn the heater on, it will use the heater
water to help cool the engine and transmission. Heat is a primary
enemy to transmission failure. Should your car over heat check the
fluid to ensure it is still red, if it is not you should consider
having the fluid changed.
-
Should you have to
drive slowly it might be wise to down shift to a lower gear to avoid
continual shifting at low speeds.
-
Do Not change the
fluid without changing the filter also.
-
Consider a complete
transmission flush and filter change rather than just a fluid and
filter change, it cost more but it's worth it.
-
Consider using a
synthetic fluid, Ask your repair shop technician
