Transmission Services
Automatic Transmission Drain & Fill
Automatic transmissions work by transmitting power from an engine to
the wheels through a fluid reservoir that also lubricates moving parts
and cools the transmission. Over time this fluid breaks down and becomes
contaminated. Servicing the transmission promotes smooth shifting,
extends the life of the transmission, prevents wear or scoring of the
gears, clutch bands and discs, and helps avoid premature transmission
failure.
Transmission Service or Transfer Case Service
Extends the life of the transmission, minimizes the effects of oxidation
deterioration due to heat and high-speed driving, reduces wear and gear
flaking, minimizes high-speed foaming of fluid that causes lower lubrication
efficiency. The transfer case is a gearbox found on most 4-wheel drive
vehicles. It directs a portion of the power from the transmission to the
front and rear wheels.
Differential (Front or Rear) Service
The differential allows wheels to turn at different speeds that enables
corner turning with improved traction. The differential gears are
lubricated with a fluid that carries heat away from the gears. This
service extends the life of the differential, provides protection against
rust and corrosion in the differential, minimizes the effects of oxidation
deterioration due to heat and high-speed driving, reduces wear and flaking,
minimizes high-speed gear oil foaming which reduces efficiency.
