Checking Your Manual Transmission Fluid

You don’t have to be a transmission repair expert to keep your transmission in great shape. Routinely checking the fluid, for example, can clue you in to potential problems with your transmission and help you avoid running on low fluid which can strain the transmission and shorten its life. But how exactly do you check the transmission fluid anyways? You can see how by watching this video from an ASE-certified master mechanic.

If you notice your transmission fluid is very dirty or smells burnt, visit a transmission repair shop in Montgomery County MD for a transmission flush service . This will completely flush out the dirty, slugged-up fluid so fresh transmission can be added to the system. Clean fluid is essential to transmission lubrication, and a well-lubricated transmission runs better and has a longer lifespan than transmissions that become worn down due to poor lubrication.
