Full-Service Transmission Maintenance

Regular Transmission Maintenance Avoids Costly Repairs

What is Involved in a Transmission Service:

• Replace transmission fluid.
• Inspect the sump pump or pan.
• Replace or clean the transmission filter.
• Clean the pan and install a new pan gasket.

Intervals for Automatic Transmission Service:

• Check your owner's manual, as recommended service intervals vary by vehicle.
• Generally suggested every 60,000–100,000 miles due to the heat generated in automatic transmissions, which breaks down the fluid over time.

Intervals for Manual Transmission Service:

• Manual transmission fluid becomes contaminated with metal particles as gears and bearings wear.
• Most manual transmissions should be serviced every 30,000–60,000 miles.
