It also avoids expensive repairs down the road. A transmission flush is one such service that helps you keep your vehicle performing well and avoid expensive transmission repairs later.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does a transmission fluid flush service do?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/77\/2022\/08\/02135123\/Transmission-Flush-B1_b.jpg\" alt=\"view of a car's transmission\" class=\"wp-image-2832\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/77\/2022\/08\/02135123\/Transmission-Flush-B1_b.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/77\/2022\/08\/02135123\/Transmission-Flush-B1_b-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<p>The transmission is one of your car&#8217;s mechanical system&#8217;s most complex and hardest-working parts. Without proper maintenance, it can have issues over time. Transmission systems consist of gears and other moving parts that require constant lubrication. Since the transmission is constantly working, the fluid or lubricant needed to protect it from oxidation and wear and tear from shifting and driving tends to get old, dirty, or grimy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A transmission flush service involves draining old and dirty fluids and replacing them with new, clean fluids. A proper flush also involves a complete transmission service which involves the following services:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Transmission fluid drain and removal&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Installing new pan gasket&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Installing new transmission filter &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autosimple.com\/blog\/how-to-maximize-your-vehicles-fuel-economy\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autosimple.com\/blog\/watch-now-check-your-transmission-like-a-pro\/\">Avoid One of the Costliest Car Repairs with this Transmission Check Video<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When do you need a transmission flush service?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most manufacturers recommend changing transmission fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles if you drive a vehicle with manual transmission. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autosimple.com\/blog\/how-transmissions-work-manual-vs-automatic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Automatic transmissions<\/a> require a fluid flush much later, around 60,000 miles. However, there&#8217;s no harm in changing your fluid early, especially when you notice sluggish gear shifts or jerking when shifting gears or accelerating.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope this blog helps you understand the importance of transmission flush.
