What Steps Are Involved in a Transmission Flush?
A transmission flush at our shop involves draining the old fluid, cleaning the system to remove any contaminants, and refilling it with high-quality transmission fluid. This service enhances vehicle performance and extends the lifespan of your transmission.
The procedure begins with an inspection to assess the fluid’s condition and identify any underlying issues. The thorough flush removes any debris that could compromise transmission functionality. We follow manufacturer specifications to prevent fluid cross-contamination and ensure all components are adequately lubricated, helping to prevent overheating and component damage due to friction.

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.
