What to know about the transmission fluid:

The transmission fluid assist cool and lubricate your car’s transmission’s internal components. The transmission sends power from the engine to the wheels of the vehicle. An automatic transmission shifts the vehicle into different gears and this is dependent on the speed that you are driving. In an automatic transmission vehicle, the transmission system comes with an oil pan that contains the transmission fluid and fluid filter. The fluid provides the power/force needed to shift into different gears. In manual transmission vehicles, there is a case that has the transmission fluid.

In contrast with an automatic transmission, the fluid in a manual vehicle system is not directly involved in shifting gears, since it is a mechanical system, while an automatic transmission is operates on hydraulic. If an automatic transmission doesn’t have enough fluid, or the fluid has gotten contaminated, it is possible for the transmission to begin to slip and eventually fail. If a manual transmission does not have get fluid, or the fluid has become contaminated, it is possible for the transmission to get noisy, the internal components to wear out faster and eventually fail.



Facts to Note:

An automatic transmission fluid service will substitute the pan gasket, filter, and transmission fluid. Some cars do not have a serviceable transmission filter and some transmissions are meant to stay “sealed for life,” implying that they do not need any service or maintenance. Go through your owner’s manual for information on whether you have the sealed system or not.

In contrast to the automatic transmission, the manual transmission does not contain a filter, which implies that as parts wear, the transmission fluid gathers particles of metal and is unable to filter them. This is why it is very essential to carry out a transmission fluid service as per manufacturer recommendations.



How to Fix:

Drain your transmission fluid

(Automatic only) Install new pan gasket and filter (if replaceable)

Refill the proper type and quantity of oil/fluid for your transmission

Check for leaks
