Once your transmission has been replaced and you’re shifting smoothly once more, you’ll probably want to keep it running smoothly. Here are some tips from Glenn's Auto & Truck Repair in Petaluma, CA to help keep you reliably on the road.

Fluid Flushes

Get your fluid flushed at regular intervals. Flushes are more extensive than an oil change - fluid is cycled through the transmission to get all the old fluid and any contamination that may be hanging around in the transmission out. Transmission flushes are essential to keeping your car running.

Filter Changes

Your filter is a barrier between the debris and contamination in the pan and the rest of your transmission. Its job is essential, but it can work against you if you aren’t careful - a clogged filter will starve a transmission of fluid and ruin one in no time.

Replace Sensors and Electronics as Necessary

If your transmission suddenly starts acting up, don’t wait until it gets worse to have it looked into. A twenty dollar issue can turn into a 2,000 dollar problem pretty quickly if it isn’t dealt with in a timely manner.

Depending on the manufacturer, your warranty might depend on how well you’ve maintained your transmission as well. These are just a few examples of many that you should pay attention to. As long as you treat your transmission right, it’ll last you for years to come. When in doubt, consult a professional technician - no matter your repair or maintenance needs, Glenn's Auto & Truck Repair in Petaluma, CA has you covered.
