Tips for Maintaining Your Car’s Transmission

First things first: don’t let stress build up. Your transmission system can face a lot of strain, especially during tough driving conditions. For example, climbing hills can cause overheating, which is one of the biggest culprits behind transmission failure. If you notice your car struggling to shift gears or experiencing slippage, it’s time to get it checked out. Another common source of stress is frequent braking, particularly in urban areas with lots of stop-and-go traffic. To reduce wear and tear, try to anticipate stops and coast as much as possible. And always engage the parking brake when parked on a slope—it helps protect the transmission linkage from unnecessary pressure.

Maintaining Transmission Fluid

One of the most important aspects of transmission care is keeping the fluid fresh. At most repair shops, they’ll ask about your last transmission fluid change. For automatic vehicles, experts recommend doing this every 15,000 miles. But why wait until then? Regularly inspect the fluid yourself by checking the dipstick for discoloration—dark, burnt-looking fluid is a red flag. Also, look for leaks under your car. These could indicate a problem that needs immediate attention.

When you bring your car in for service, technicians might suggest either a drain-and-fill or a full flush. Here’s what each entails:

• Drain-and-Fill: This is essentially a standard fluid change where old fluid is removed and replaced with new, clean fluid. Over time, debris can accumulate in the system, affecting performance.
• Flush: A flush goes a step further by removing sediment that may be clogging the transmission. While effective, this process should only be done every 50,000 to 100,000 miles due to its intensity.

Manual vs. Automatic

Owners of manual transmissions have it slightly easier when it comes to maintenance. Manual systems typically have fewer parts than their automatic counterparts, which means fewer opportunities for things to break. That said, they still require regular upkeep—experts recommend changing the fluid every 15,000 miles or following the schedule outlined in your owner’s manual.

No matter what type of transmission you have, staying on top of maintenance is key to avoiding costly repairs later. Whether you need routine servicing or a complete transmission flush, DaSilva’s Auto Body is here to help. Give us a call today to schedule an appointment. Your car—and wallet—will thank you!

Remember, prevention is always cheaper than repair. By taking small steps now, like monitoring fluid levels and reducing unnecessary stress on your vehicle, you can extend the life of your transmission and keep your car running smoothly for years to come.
