Read on! Hooking up a transmission flush machine is a quick, easy money-maker for shops that perform this service. However, it neglects the most important part of servicing the transmission: changing the filter. This is where we like to illustrate the difference between a transmission flush and a transmission service. From our page on transmission fluid : A transmission service involves a lot more work than a flush.
In addition to replacing the fluid, this service also includes replacement of your transmission filter , if equipped. Your transmission filter is usually accessed by removing a pan or cover on the bottom of your transmission.
This image compares the color of new transmission fluid to burnt fluid. Fluid should be a clean red color; dark and black color indicates you need to change the fluid. A transmission flush usually involves connecting your transmission to a professional grade machine to completely flush the transmission fluid out of your vehicle. Running solution through the lines until they come out clean, it then fills your system with new fluid.
A transmission fluid change, on the other hand, simply drains the fluid with gravity. However, one important service consideration that is often lost in the shuffle is transmission maintenance. A transmission issue often ends in replacement, which can cost several thousand dollars. Thankfully, preventative services—such as transmission fluid flushes —can keep your transmission working in good health.
Here is what you need to know about the importance of flushing your transmission fluid. Your transmission system depends on transmission fluid to keep its temperature regulated and to keep all of the parts moving together without harmful friction. However, because the transmission fluid absorbs heat to regulate temperature, this substance begins to breakdown and burn over time.
If you wait too long to flush your transmission fluid, your transmission will begin to deteriorate from the inside out. Make sure fluid levels are correct to help to keep the entire transmission unit cool, as well as also cleaning the internal components of the transmission system.
