Transmission & Driveline
WE GIVE CLEAR, HONEST ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT TRANMISSION SERVICE
Transmissions
Whether your car has a simple manual transmission, an automatic or a sophisticated DSG or DCT dual clutch transmission, the ASE-Certified technicians at Weston Auto Service have the know-how to diagnose problems and make repairs.
Automatic transmissions contain a highly complex system of mechanical and hydraulic parts needed to transfer power from your engine to your wheels. A fluid called ATF, or automatic transmission fluid, works under pressure to move parts inside the transmission as the car shifts gears. The automatic transmission fluid also serves as a lubricant to prevent wear. And the ATF carries away excess heat produced as the transmission works.
Transmission Fluid Flush
The most common issue with transmission problems relates to the ATF fluid. Many manufacturers consider their transmission fluid to be a “lifetime fill” which means they expect the fluid to last the lifetime of the vehicle. But how does the manufacturer define service lifetime? Is it until the factory warranty is up? If that’s the case then many cars on the road have transmission fluid that is beyond the service life.
As the parts inside the transmission wear from normal use, particulates build up in the fluid. The transmission filter can only handle so much before it loses its ability to trap contaminants. After that the transmission will be operating with dirty fluid causing premature wear on the many parts inside the transmission.
The average cost to rebuild a transmission runs into the thousands of dollars. This is why periodic fluid flushes and filter changes are important. At the same time, our skilled technicians perform an inspection for leaks. Your transmission will perform better and last longer with regular maintenance by our ASE-Certified technicians. Stop by or call Weston Auto Service to learn about the proper service intervals for keeping your transmission healthy.
