Importance Of Transmission Service
Why is servicing your transmission so important? The transmission is an overly complicated piece of equipment comprised of gears and other components. These gears allow your vehicle to change gears or “shift” into the next gear while accelerating and shift back down when decelerating. These gears can move seamlessly due to the transmission fluid. Over time this fluid will gather dust and grim and eventually change from a bright red liquid to a black sludge-like liquid. This can cause gears to slip or for your transmission to lock up completely. Keeping up with transmission services and replacing this fluid frequently, around every 30,000 miles, is the best way to avoid these issues and increase the life of your transmission. That is precisely what we do here at Route 20 Auto in Ashtabula OH. Let us help keep your transmission running as it should.
Transmission Service vs. Transmission Replacement
What is the difference between a transmission service and a transmission replacement? The transmission service is the frequent draining and replacing of the transmission fluid. A transmission replacement is completely removing the transmission and replacing it with a new one. A transmission replacement is usually needed when the transmission has stopped working correctly, i.e., the transmission is skipping, slipping, or has skipped one too many services. Don’t let your transmission get to the point where it needs to be replaced. You can rest easy knowing that Route 20 Auto is here to help if it gets to that point. We can service the transmission, or we can also replace it with a new one.
