Maintenance for the Transmission and Things to Consider
Preventative maintenance is important when it comes to your transmission. If you don’t think so, search how much it costs to get a new transmission for your vehicle. Doing the maintenance now will save you a lot of money in the long run.
Annual Inspections
The first and best habit to get in when it comes to your transmission is to do routine inspections. This is not something we expect you, as the owner of a vehicle, to conduct yourself. Instead, bring it to our team so that we can help you with the annual inspection service. We will look over everything within the transmission, inspecting the gears, the fluids, and all of the varying parts necessary to keep it running properly. If you have never had an inspection done of your transmission, now is a good time to take action.
Flushing of the Transmission and Replacing the Fluid
The transmission needs to run in a peak and smooth manner to do what it needs to do on the open road. If you take care of your transmission, it means you will be able to accelerate or decelerate in a very smooth manner while you drive.
You want to get the transmission flushed regularly, at least once a year. This piece of critical maintenance will get the old fluid out of the transmission and replace it with a new one. This means the transmission can run cleanly and also very smoothly. Let a professional like our team conduct this type of work for you.
You never want to do a replacement of transmission fluid on your own because it is possible you could go with the wrong fluid. There will be certain types that go with certain vehicles, including differences between automatic and manual transmission. The brand can also make a difference. You want the one that goes best for your car.
Avoid Costly Repairs Later
You want to be proactive when it comes to your transmission. The more that you can take action now and have inspections done regularly, the better you’ll be able to identify minor issues sooner. The more minor issues you can address will help avoid a catastrophe, such as a total replacement of the transmission, which can be quite costly. No matter what your need may be, our team at Lenfer Automotive and Transmission can help you and everyone else in Wyoming, MN, and abroad.
