Why You Should Flush Your Transmission Fluid
Your vehicle's transmission fluid, much like engine oil, can accumulate dirt and debris over time, potentially leading to transmission damage and overheating. In fact, nearly 90% of transmission failures can be attributed to either particulate buildup or overheating caused by it. That's why it's crucial to adhere to recommended transmission fluid flushing intervals.
​
Unlike engine oil changes, complete drainage of transmission fluid is often not feasible due to residual fluid remaining in transmission lines and components. Simply adding new fluid on top of old can create a harmful mixture that could cause transmission failure.
Fortunately, at Pine Ridge Mechanic Shop, we offer a comprehensive transmission flush process that effectively removes varnish, deposits, and contaminants from your entire transmission system. Our fluid exchange procedure eliminates both metal particles and particulates from the transmission fluid and components, ensuring a fresh start for your transmission.
​
If you've noticed symptoms like rough shifting, grinding sensations when shifting or parking, or unusual noises or odors, it's likely time for a transmission flush. Our experts recommend this service approximately every 30,000 miles to maintain a healthy transmission and prevent costly repairs down the road.
Don't overlook the importance of a well-maintained transmission. Visit Pine Ridge Mechanic Shop in Strasburg and ensure your transmission's longevity and performance with our professional transmission fluid flushing service. Schedule an appointment today.
Let’s Talk About Your Transmission
Your vehicle's transmission is a complex and sensitive system designed to endure extensive use over its lifespan. While wear and tear are inevitable, there are steps you can take to ensure your transmission's longevity and efficiency.
​
Maintaining proper transmission fluid levels is paramount. This fluid not only lubricates components but also generates the pressure required for smooth gear shifting. Inadequate fluid levels can lead to friction, overheating, and damage to transmission parts. At Pine Ridge Mechanic Shop, our full-service oil change includes a transmission fluid check and top-off if necessary. If you've noticed fluid leaks in your driveway or garage, it's essential to have our experts inspect your transmission for potential issues.
Regularly replacing your transmission fluid is another key factor in preserving your transmission's performance. Over time, microscopic metal shavings can accumulate in the fluid due to the movement of internal parts. Additionally, protective additives in the fluid deteriorate over time. We recommend consulting our experts or your owner's manual to determine the appropriate interval for a transmission fluid flush.
