Don't Forget to Flush!

7/22/2021

 
​Everyone learns as a young driver that they should change their oil to keep their engine healthy. One of the most vital components in your vehicle sits right next to the engine but gets no love! Servicing your transmission with a transmission flush is just as important

as servicing your engine. Hobbyists and online forums will tell you that the only necessary service for your transmission is to drain and refill it, but a more involved approach is needed to keep you safe on the road. 

​There's a difference between a drain and refill of your transmission and a full flush. The drain and refill of your transmission pan only replaces as little as 20% of the fluid in your car's transmission, leaving you with dirty fluid. A full flush will involve using the machine to push out all of the old fluid, leaving you with fresh transmission fluid to minimize issues.

 As your vehicle's transmission ages, the gears will become worn, and this wear will cause some of the issues that might bring you to a shop: grinding or strange noises, problems with shifting gears, or gears slipping. Some older vehicles will have an issue when flushing their transmission for the first time. All the debris present due to a lack of maintenance gets dislodged, and your vehicle may initially underperform. A regularly performed transmission flush will prevent high-dollar repairs and extend the life of your vehicles. Transmission fluid is as important as the engine oil, and your repair shop should service it regularly. We here at JAMHS Auto recommend a transmission flush every 30,000 miles. Don't wait for transmission to give out before changing your fluid. 

Call us today to schedule your transmission flush. Regular maintenance prevents high-cost repairs!
