More about Your Transmission
What is a transmission? It’s an intricate component of gears and sensors that acts as a bridge between your engine and your wheels. The transmission ensures that the energy provided by the engine travels smoothly to the tires, providing better, safer control for the driver.
This activity generates a lot of heat, though. Transmission fluid keeps your transmission from getting too hot and sustaining damage. As this fluid is used over time, it becomes less efficient, leaving your transmission more vulnerable to heat damage.

How Christian Brothers Automotive Can Help
Our transmission experts recommend getting an automatic transmission fluid exchange every 50,000 miles. Typically, recommended service is a little bit more than that, but it doesn’t account for harsh driving and weather conditions daily. Once you’ve hit 50,000 miles, have our team of professionals perform a complete fluid flush.
At Christian Brothers Automotive Lakeville, we can remove your old transmission fluid, perform a complete flush of your transmission system, and install new, premium-quality fluid. We use technology to monitor this process, and we even see the old, muddied transmission fluid extracted from your car.
Our team at Christian Brothers Automotive Lakeville is ready to provide the professional service you need for total peace of mind. We are committed to transparent service, quality repair, and maintenance. Book your transmission service today.

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.
