Maintenance for your vehicle’s transmission

Your transmission should have a long life over 100,000 miles if you stick to the manufacturer's maintenance schedule in your owner's manual or the manufacturers guidelines for your car’s make and model. Make sure you fulfill the schedule in a timely manner to avoid unnecessary wear and tear caused by debris, low transmission fluid level or dirty fluid not properly lubricating your transmission’s gears which will prematurely age your transmissions gears and components.
A strict transmission maintenance schedule will add thousands of miles to the life of your transmission that would otherwise not occur and cause the need for repairing the transmission before it’s time.

When you have the fluids changed at South Florida Transmissions we will also replace your filter and pan gasket. We always use the highest quality products as specified by your manufacturer to assure your car or truck performs the way it was designed to.
It’s wise to monitor your transmission fluid levels when the car is older and you are taking long trips. The gears are prone to severe heat, so check before and after your trip. Your car's parts are all work together, so if one system fails it can affect the other parts. So make sure your engine is properly tuned to help your transmission function the way it should.
