How to Lengthen the Life of Your Transmission

How much is a transmission? Now you know! But what about your current transmission? Whether you’re still rocking a higher-mileage transmission, or trying to prolong the life of a brand new one, these tips will help do just that. 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.
