The transmission of your vehicle depends on clean, properly functioning fluid to operate smoothly. As time goes on and you use your vehicle, that fluid will break down, collect debris, and lose its ability to properly lubricate and protect the internal components of your transmission. That’s where a transmission flush comes into play.
What Is a Transmission Flush?
A transmission flush is a routine maintenance service designed to completely remove old, contaminated transmission fluid and replace it with fresh fluid. A simple drain and fill will only replace a portion of the fluid, whereas a transmission flush clears out almost all the old fluid that is circulating through the system, helping restore proper lubrication, cooling, and performance.
What Happens During a Transmission Flush?
During this service, our team will use specialized equipment to connect to your vehicle’s transmission lines. As the engine runs, the machines safely pull out the old fluid while simultaneously pumping in new fluid. The process helps get rid of sludge, varnish, and debris that may have made their way into your lines. Those kinds of contaminants can cause problems like interfering with shifting, so transmission flushes are a key part of safety and maintenance.
Why Transmission Flushes Are Important
Fresh transmission fluid plays a key role in reducing friction, preventing overheating, and ensuring your gears can shift properly. When your fluid becomes dirty, issues like delayed shifting, slipping gears, and unusual sounds start to arise. If left untreated, these problems can escalate into more serious issues, so a timely transmission flush can save you time and money in the long run.
