Repairing or replacing your transmission can be one of the most expensive repairs you may have to make on your vehicle. Maintaining your transmission according to your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations, not only prolongs its life but also can prevent a costly repair or breakdown in the future.
Of all the systems in your vehicle, the transmission is one of the most complicated. It uses a complex system of hydraulics and gears to transfer power from your engine to your wheels.
Because some of the ingredients in the transmission fluid break down over time due to heat, many vehicle manufacturers recommend the fluid be replaced at specified maintenance intervals.
Traditional transmission service only drains and replaces about 40% of the total fluid in the transmission. Partial fluid replacement may lead to increased heat build up and transmission failure in the future.
At Kansas Tire & Service we do a complete transmission flush to remove all the fluid. We then replace it with clean transmission fluid.
