If you’re experiencing transmission problems, it may be a sign that you need a transmission fluid exchange & cleanse. While on the surface, changing the fluids may seem like an easy operation, there are several considerations before you proceed. The technicians at the Vern Eide Acura service center in Sioux Falls, SD are highly trained to care for your vehicle.
In essence, the fluid exchange or “flush” drains the old, contaminated fluid from the transmission and replaces it with new, clean fluid. This can extend the life of the transmission and prevent problems from developing. The fluid is removed mechanically under pressure so that any build-up or contaminates are also removed.
The transmission doesn’t require frequent maintenance but it can prevent problems from developing and even correct current issues. There are several indicators that the transmission is slipping. Grinding noises and hesitation when the accelerator is depressed can indicate that you are either low on transmission fluid or it’s time for a flush. Without the signs, you should rely on the owner’s manual for a maintenance schedule. Some will recommend a fluid exchange every 30,000 miles while others may indicate the timing at 60,000 or 100,000 miles.
Potentially, you could have to rebuild or replace the transmission which is very costly compared to the preventive maintenance of a transmission fluid exchange & cleanse. The new fluid provides better temperature control and lubrication.
