There are two main systems in your vehicle that keep it on the road, your engine and your transmission. Taking care of transmissions in Minneapolis is critical to keeping your vehicle on the road. Transmissions are largely ignored until they start to break down. You can avoid break downs and other issues by ensuring that your transmission is maintained.
Prevention is Key
Ensuring that you do not have to deal with unexpected costly transmission repairs starts with getting your transmission serviced, this is especially true in older vehicles. Transmission service is always recommended by manufacturers, but many owners are not aware that they should have it done. Maintenance for your transmission should include:
* Changing the fluid (but it is not quite as simple as changing the engine oil, you need a pro)
* Inspecting the pan
* Replacing the pan gasket if needed
* Examining the pump for wear and leaks
Changing the transmission fluid with clean fresh fluid helps to restore optimum performance, get rid of build up and grime that may be in your fluid. The pan must be removed during the maintenance and inspected for any failures. The pan will be cleaned up and set aside while the rest of the maintenance activities are finished.
It is Cost Saving
Caring for your transmission is a cost saving activity that will ensure that your transmission continues to perform at its optimum. Transmissions are built to last if they are taken care of, but they are certainly not infallible. Making sure you are giving the attention that your need to, to your transmission will help you to stack the odds in your favor that your vehicle is going to run strong and long. Follow your manufacturer’s recommendation for transmission care and get a pro on your side that can take care of it right!
