Your transmission is the 2nd most vital part of your cars power train and needs to be serviced and inspected regularly. Proper Maintenance is key to keeping your transmission operating correctly.
At Shrums we use systematic and comprehensive external evaluation of the overall performance and condition of your transmission.
- A trained technician will check the level and condition of your transmission fluid:
- A low fluid level may indicate a leak
- Contaminated fluid has water or particles in the fluid.
- Burnt fluid indicates damage from overheating.
- Varnished fluid has been overheated repeatedly.
- Normal fluid is reddish-brown and translucent, depending on transmission type, with
no particular odor.
- The technician will also check the level and condition of transfer case and differential
fluid, where applicable.
- The technician takes your car on a road test, to experience first-hand any problems you have
noticed, and to evaluate your car's performance.
- Your vehicle will be placed on a lift to inspect the controls under the vehicle for any possible
cause of the problem external to the transmission.
- Finally, the technician will scan the computer for trouble codes*.
With today’s more complex, computer-controlled transmissions, it takes a real expert to be able to diagnose a transmission problem correctly. Getting that diagnosis right can save you a lot of money and most importantly time!
