WHAT IS THE TRANSMISSION?

Your transmission is one of the most complex and important pieces of machinery inside your vehicle. It’s what converts the rotational speed from your engine into the road speed needed by your wheels. For the vehicle to continue to shift gears seamlessly, the transmission needs to stay cool and lubricated with clean transmission fluid.

Whether you drive an automatic or manual, regular transmission inspections are vital to the health and longevity of your vehicle. In automatic transmissions, transmission fluid serves the added purpose of using hydraulic pressure to shift the gears automatically. Many vehicle manufacturers recommend a regularly scheduled transmission service in the form of a transmission fluid exchange, so check your owner’s manual to get an idea of when you should schedule a transmission check.

WHY TRANSMISSION MAINTENANCE SERVICES ARE IMPORTANT

Your vehicle's transmission is a complex system of gears powered by the engine’s flywheel. The transmission basically moves between gear sets to either increase or decrease the torque and speed output on your wheels. This change between gear sets is known as “shifting gears.” On an automatic transmission, this action is performed without direct input from the driver. On a manual transmission, the driver must use a clutch when shifting gears. There are other types of transmissions, such as continuously variable transmission (CVTs), automated manuals, toroidal and more.

The transmission system is essential to a functional vehicle. Without it, you simply can’t go anywhere. Yet roadside breakdowns due to transmission trouble happen more often than you may think. In general, automatic transmission repairs are more complicated, as they involve more intricate parts than manual transmissions.

HOW LONG DOES TRANSMISSION SERVICE TAKE?

A transmission fluid exchange generally takes less than an hour to complete and can be combined with other routine maintenance.

More extensive repairs or a transmission rebuild can take much longer and be more costly. Avoid having to repair or rebuild your transmission by getting routine transmission fluid services from Firestone Complete Auto Care.

HOW OFTEN TO SCHEDULE A TRANSMISSION SERVICE APPOINTMENT

Transmission intervals vary between vehicle models and transmission types.

Check your owner’s manual for an exact recommendation, orcontact your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Carefor maintenance service tips. Our expert technicians know your vehicle manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule so you can get the right service for your vehicle.

Following your manufacturer-recommended service intervals for transmission fluid is important in helping keep transmission fluid clean and free of debris. Over time, the additives in transmission fluid that lubricate, cool, and clean the gears eventually wear out. When this happens, debris (like tiny metallic compounds shed from worn gears) can wreak havoc on transmission parts.
