Transmission Fluid Exchange Service

• Weird or grinding sounds – If you hear grinding, thunking, or weird sounds from your transmission, it could be that your fluid level is running well under where it should be. All you have to do while the vehicle is parked and the engine is running is lift the hood and take a look at the fluid level. If the fluid level is high, but the sound continues, it’s likely that the fluid is contaminated with gunk and needs to be flushed. If it’s below level, that could be a leak, but even if not it’s a serious problem needing attention ASAP to save your transmission.
• Difficulty shifting – Whether manual or automatic, your transmission fluid is designed to make it easy to shift gears. If your gear shifting feels like it is slipping and popping or its almost impossible in a manual situation, then there’s a good chance your fluid has a lot of gunk in it, causing obstacles that need to be cleared.
• Surging – Grit and contaminants in the transmission fluid can also cause the vehicle to lurch forward or stall instead of accelerating smoothly.
• Drive delay – If the car seems to go nowhere for a few seconds before moving, the fluid may not be allowing the gears to lock correctly into a drive position, essentially removing any power translation to your wheels.
