Understanding Your Vehicle's Transmission
The transmission is an intricate assembly of gears, clutches, and sensors that acts as the crucial link between your engine's power and your vehicle's wheels. It precisely manages the flow of power, allowing for smooth acceleration and efficient gear changes. This sophisticated system ensures that your engine operates within its optimal RPM range, leading to better fuel economy and reduced wear and tear.
The constant work of the transmission generates significant heat. This is where transmission fluid comes in. This specialized fluid lubricates the moving parts, cools the system, and helps to create the hydraulic pressure needed for smooth shifts. Over time, however, this fluid degrades due to heat and friction, losing its ability to protect the transmission from damage. Worn-out fluid can lead to overheating, slipping gears, and a host of other expensive problems.
How Our Edmond Team Can Assist
Our transmission specialists at Christian Brothers Automotive East Edmond recommend a transmission fluid exchange at least every 50,000 miles. While some manufacturer recommendations may suggest a longer interval, these often don't account for the daily driving conditions that place extra stress on your vehicle.
A transmission fluid exchange is more than a simple drain and fill; our process completely flushes out the old, contaminated fluid, replacing it with fresh, high-quality fluid. This procedure helps extend the life of your transmission, prevents costly repairs, and ensures your vehicle continues to perform at its best.
We are committed to providing you with the highest level of service and transparency. Our technicians will perform a thorough inspection of your transmission, provide you with a detailed explanation of our findings, and offer honest recommendations without any pressure. We use advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint any issues and ensure that every repair is performed with precision.

FAQs
-
Q. "What factors determine the price of transmission repair?"Many different factors go into determining costs of transmission repair. The major factor is what type of vehicle you drive. The year, make and model of the car, determine how much parts and labor will cost. Another factor is how much damage the transmission has sustained. Your transmission should last a minimum of 100,000 miles by servicing your transmission on a regular basis.
-
Q. "What does automatic transmission service include?"Fluid is first drained from the pan during an automatic transmission service. A new transmission filter is installed with a new pan gasket once the pan has been removed. Finally, fresh automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is used to refill the vehicle.
-
Q. "Is there a difference between a transmission fluid change and flush?"During a transmission fluid and filter change, it’s only the fluid in the pan that is drained and replaced with new ATF. Four to five quarts of fluid will typically be replaced in this process, while nine to thirteen quarts are replaced during a full transmission fluid flush. The difference in amounts is because the complete flush drains the entire system.
