Transmission Service FAQ
1. How often should I service my transmission?
Most vehicles require transmission fluid service every 50,000–90,000 km, depending on driving conditions and manufacturer specifications. CVTs often require more frequent service.
2. Can low or dirty transmission fluid cause damage?
Yes. Old or low fluid causes overheating, slipping, shuttering, and premature wear. Regular maintenance is critical to prevent expensive repairs.
3. Do you service all makes and models in Maple Ridge?
Absolutely. We work on all domestic, import, and European vehicles, including automatic, manual, CVT, and dual-clutch transmissions.
4. What are the signs of a failing transmission?
Slipping gears, delayed engagement, grinding, leaks, high RPM shifting, or warning lights. Early diagnostics can prevent major repair costs.
5. Is a flush or drain-and-fill better?
It depends on the vehicle. We follow OEM-specific procedures to avoid damage and ensure longevity.
How often should I have a transmission fluid and filter service?
The good news is you don’t have to change transmission fluid as often as motor oil.
It’s generally recommended you get your transmission fluid exchanged every 40,000 to 60,000 kms or every two-to-three years – whichever comes first.
What is a manual transmission service?
Whether you have front- or rear-wheel drive, transmissions are required to transmit the necessary power and torque from your engine to your vehicle’s drive wheels.
Transmissions allow an engine to operate at a few speeds or gears, while your vehicle can travel at a large range of speeds.
