Checking Your Manual Transmission Fluid
Posted on Mar 17, 2016 1:45pm PDT
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.
