What Makes an Automatic Transmission Work? An automatic transmission controls how power moves from the engine to the drive wheels, automatically switching gears based on your speed and driving load. Key components include:
- Planetary Gear Sets
- Hydraulic Pump
- Torque Converter
- Transmission Fluid (for lubrication, cooling & gear engagement)
When your fluid is old, burnt, or leaking, it can't maintain the hydraulic pressure needed for smooth gear shifts—leading to poor performance and potential failure.
Transmission Fluid Service = Longer Transmission Life - Routine automatic transmission fluid service is one of the most cost-effective ways to extend the life of your transmission. We recommend fluid checks and replacements based on your vehicle’s manufacturer schedule—or sooner if you tow, haul heavy loads, or drive in extreme conditions.
Benefits of regular transmission maintenance:
- Prevents overheating
- Protects internal gears from wear
- Maintains proper pressure for gear shifting
- Reduces risk of unexpected breakdowns
