Transmission service is recommended
every two years or every 60,000 to 100,000 miles to keep your vehicle
running smoothly. We've broken down exactly what happens during a
normal transmission service in the sections below. When your car
needs transmission service in Hooksett, NH, or the surrounding towns,
leave it to Adams
Auto Care
to do the job.
Automatic Transmission Service
When you need automatic transmission
service, we'll start with a fluid flush. Transmission fluid is
responsible for lubricating, cleaning, and cooling the transmission
gears. The fluid becomes polluted with time and no longer performs as
well. We drain the old transmission fluid and replace it with new
fluid according to the manufacturer's guidelines for your vehicle.
We'll also inspect the stopper that holds the fluid in place. We can
clean or repair your transmission filter if it is dirty or damaged.
Manual Transmission Service
Transmission fluid in manual
transmissions serves the same purpose as in automatic transmissions,
with a few exceptions. Transmission fluid not only lubricates the
gears and keeps them cool, but also ensures smooth shifting. If the
owner's handbook specifies, automatic transmission fluid can be used
in a manual transmission. Gear lubricant or motor oil may be required
in older transmissions.
Complete Transmission Service
All of the above steps are included in
a complete service, as well as the removal, cleaning, and inspection
of the sump and pan to ensure they are not damaged. We also replace
the gasket material in the pan. While performing this job, we can
also inspect the transmission for wear and tear.
