Transmission Fluid Exchange Services

Transmission fluid plays a critical role in keeping your vehicle’s transmission system running smoothly. Over time, transmission fluid can degrade and become contaminated with dirt, debris, and metal shavings, which can affect the performance of your transmission. A Transmission Fluid Exchange is a preventative service designed to replace your old, worn-out fluid with fresh, high-quality fluid to keep your transmission in top condition.

At Transmission Exchange, we offer professional transmission fluid exchange services to help maintain your vehicle’s transmission and improve its overall performance. Our expert technicians will ensure that your vehicle gets the right fluids and service for optimal results.

Why is a Transmission Fluid Exchange Important?

Transmission fluid is essential for keeping your transmission system cool, lubricated, and operating smoothly. As your vehicle ages and the fluid accumulates dirt, debris, and other contaminants, it becomes less effective in performing these functions. A Transmission Fluid Exchange helps to ensure the fluid remains clean and at the right levels, preventing costly transmission repairs and improving overall vehicle performance.

Here’s why a transmission fluid exchange is important:

Maintains Optimal Lubrication
Fresh transmission fluid ensures that all parts of the transmission are properly lubricated, reducing friction and wear on the system.
Prevents Overheating
Transmission fluid helps regulate the temperature of the transmission. Old fluid can cause the transmission to overheat, leading to potential damage or failure.
Enhances Gear Shifting
Clean fluid helps the transmission shift smoothly and without hesitation, providing a more comfortable and efficient driving experience.
Prevents Slippage and Delays
A transmission fluid exchange helps prevent issues such as gear slippage or delayed shifting caused by dirty or degraded fluid.

Signs You Need a Transmission Fluid Exchange

Delayed or Rough Shifting
If your car hesitates to shift gears or shifts roughly, it may be a sign that the fluid has become contaminated or is low, requiring a fluid exchange.
Slipping Gears
When your transmission slips in and out of gear unexpectedly, it could be caused by old, degraded fluid that can no longer provide the necessary lubrication and pressure.
Burning Smell
A burnt odor coming from the transmission can indicate that the fluid has overheated and is no longer effective. A fluid exchange is necessary to prevent further damage.
Warning Lights
If your vehicle’s dashboard displays a warning light related to the transmission or fluid levels, it’s time to have your transmission fluid checked and potentially exchanged.
Unusual Sounds
Grinding or whining noises when your vehicle is in gear can be caused by low or dirty transmission fluid, signaling the need for a fluid exchange.

How Does a Transmission Fluid Exchange Work?

Drain Old Fluid
The first step in a transmission fluid exchange is to drain the old, contaminated fluid from the transmission. This is done carefully to avoid leaving any remnants of the old fluid.
Flush the Transmission System
After draining the old fluid, we perform a flushing process to clean out any remaining contaminants or debris from the system, ensuring that only fresh fluid enters.
Add Fresh, High-Quality Fluid
Once the transmission is clean, we add fresh, manufacturer-recommended transmission fluid to the system. This ensures your transmission has the proper lubrication and cooling it needs.
Check Fluid Levels
After the fluid exchange, we ensure the correct fluid levels are maintained and check for any leaks that may have developed during the process.
Test the Transmission
We perform a final test to ensure your transmission is shifting smoothly and that the fluid is circulating properly throughout the system.

Benefits of a Transmission Fluid Exchange

Improved Transmission Performance
Fresh transmission fluid ensures that your vehicle’s transmission is operating at its best, resulting in smoother shifts, quieter operation, and better overall performance.
Prevents Transmission Damage
A fluid exchange removes the contaminants that can cause wear and damage to your transmission, helping to prevent costly repairs or replacements down the road.
Enhanced Longevity
Regular fluid exchanges help extend the life of your transmission, making it more likely that your vehicle will continue to run smoothly for many years.
Prevents Slipping & Delayed Shifting
Clean transmission fluid ensures that your vehicle shifts without hesitation, making for a more comfortable and reliable driving experience.
Protects Against Overheating
Fresh transmission fluid helps keep the transmission cool, preventing overheating and ensuring the system operates within safe temperature ranges.

How Often Should You Have a Transmission Fluid Exchange?

While the timing for a transmission fluid exchange can vary based on your vehicle’s make, model, and driving conditions, it’s typically recommended to perform a fluid exchange every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. However, if you’re experiencing signs of trouble with your transmission, it’s important to have the fluid checked and exchanged as soon as possible.

Consulting your vehicle’s owner manual or speaking with one of our experts can help you determine the best schedule for your vehicle.
