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.
