How to Lengthen the Life of Your Transmission

How much is a transmission? Now you know! But what about your current transmission?

Some of it involves regular maintenance, which you can always find help with at our service center – with which you can even schedule an appointment online!

• Check the Transmission Fluid: Low or dirty fluid is the most common transmission problem. Try to check (or have it checked) about once per month if you’re really looking to prolong transmission life.
• Schedule Routine Service: This is a given. Your transmission should be serviced every 30,000 miles or so.
• Add Another Filter to the Cooler Line: A second filter in the cooler line will act as a second line of defense, keeping the fluid cleaner for longer.
