How Your Transmission Works

Your car’s transmission is a complex system of gears, sensors, and mechanical parts. It serves as the essential connector between your engine and your wheels, allowing energy to transfer efficiently so your car can move forward or backward with ease. By controlling the power and torque, the transmission also helps your vehicle maintain optimal performance and safety.

Because this system operates consistently under high pressures and temperatures, proper lubrication is vital. Transmission fluid reduces friction, prevents overheating, and prolongs the lifespan of your transmission. Over time, the fluid breaks down and becomes less effective, increasing the risk of internal damage. This makes regular fluid maintenance essential to avoid performance issues and costly repairs.

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.
