Transmission Tips and Tricks Maintenance
Hi! This is Cory Turner with findatrans.com, where we bring you multiple quotes for transmission repair.
In this video segment we’re going to talk about ways to extend the life of your automatic transmission in your vehicle. The best way to extend the life of your transmission is to check the level of the fluid on a regular basis. Fluid leaks are the number one cause of failure in automatic transmissions. To spot a transmission fluid leak look for a wet oil stain under the centre of the vehicle or under the engine if the vehicle is front wheel drive. Transmission fluid is typically reddish in color compared to brown or black for engine oil. A transmission is a closed system. So if the fluid is low it is always from a leak. If you spot a leak you should have it checked out by a shop immediately. Ignoring a fluid leak will surely cause additional damage to a transmission eventually. Another easy way to extend the life of a transmission is by installing a transmission oil cooler. External transmission coolers are good for towing, hauling or any situation where the car is idling excessively. Install price can vary between 100 to 400$ depending on the model.
