How to Care For Your Transmission

The transmission is a complex system that utilizes a variety of parts and components to properly function. Because of this, it’s important to properly care for it, as poor care can quickly reduce the quality of your driving experience. At Mid City Complete Auto, we want to make sure you’re always using a high-performing transmission, and that all starts with proper care. Here are a couple maintenance tasks you can do to ensure your car’s transmission is always performing properly!

Check The Fluid

Just like motor oil, it’s important for you to check the transmission fluid in your vehicle periodically. This helps you monitor the fluid over time and determine when it needs to be changed! When looking at the fluid, you want to make sure it has a clear, bright red appearance and a sweet smell. Along with that, it should be at a proper level and a low fluid level indicates your vehicle has a leak, as transmission fluid isn’t consumed or burnt up. If the fluid looks dark, cloudy, or has a pungent smell to it, that’s a sign that you’ll need to have the fluid changed!

Practice Good Habits

Poor driving habits are a common reason why transmission systems fail sooner than expected. Before and during your drive, make sure you keep this habits in mind:

  • Warm up your car before driving: this gives the system time to properly warm up and get going. Although it’s tempting to just drive off as soon as you start the car, warming up the transmission will ensure it’s performing at its best for a lot longer!

  • Don’t change gears on the move: if you’re looking to shift from “drive” to “reverse,” make sure your vehicle is at a full stop. Changing gears while on the move can place strain on the transmission system and that added stress can stack over time.
