What is the transmission fluid all about?

Transmission fluid helps cool and lubricate your vehicle’s transmission’s internal parts. The transmission transfers power from the engine to the wheels of the car. An automatic transmission shifts the car into different gears depending on the speed that you are driving. In an automatic transmission car, the transmission system has an oil pan that contains the transmission fluid and fluid filter. The fluid provides the power/force required to shift into different gears. In manual transmission cars, there is a case that contains the transmission fluid.

Contrary to an automatic transmission, the fluid in a manual system is not directly involved in changing gears, because it is a mechanical system, whereas an automatic transmission is hydraulic. If an automatic transmission does not have enough fluid, or the fluid has been contaminated, it is possible for the transmission to start to slip and eventually fail. If a manual transmission does not have enough fluid, or the fluid has been contaminated, it is possible for the transmission to become noisy, the internal parts to wear out faster and eventually for the transmission to fail.

Keep in mind:

  • An automatic transmission fluid service will replace the pan gasket, filter, and transmission fluid. Some vehicles do not have a serviceable transmission filter and some transmissions are designed to be “sealed for life,” meaning that they do not require any service or maintenance. Check your owner’s manual for information on whether you have a sealed system or not.

  • Unlike an automatic transmission, a manual transmission does not contain a filter, which means that as components wear, the transmission fluid picks up particles of metal and is unable to filter them. This is why it is very important to perform a transmission fluid service as per manufacturer recommendations.

How it's done:

  • Drain the transmission fluid
  • (Automatic only) Install new pan gasket and filter (if replaceable)
  • Add the proper type and quantity of oil/fluid for your transmission
  • Check for leaks
  • Test drive the vehicle

How do Mechanics Change Transmission Fluid? :

  • Drain the transmission fluid.
  • (Automatic only) Install new pan gasket and filter (if replaceable).
  • Add the proper type and quantity of oil/fluid for your transmission.
  • Check for leaks.
  • Test drive the vehicle.

Our recommendation:

A conservative rule of thumb is that a car should get a transmission fluid service every 40,000 miles. If you notice any fluid underneath the car, get it inspected as soon as you can. Changing your transmission’s fluid regularly will greatly extend the service life of your vehicle’s transmission.

What are the common symptoms indicating you need to replace the transmission fluid?

  • Vehicle has a hard time running
  • Vehicle stalls when going up or down a steep incline
  • Check Engine Light is on
  • Transmission makes noise

How important is this service?

Transmission fluid services are an important part of regular maintenance and will increase the service life of your transmission. According to the Automatic Transmission Rebuilders Association, 90% of automatic transmission failures are caused by overheating and can be often blamed on transmission fluid that should have been replaced.

Toyota Celica L6-2.8L - Alternator - American Canyon, California
Jose got to my house before me so he was very prompt (my apologies for being late). Chatted a little to let him know what happened to my car and then he started the repair. I have a 1985 Celica Supra and it needed an alternator replacement. It was straightforward. I went to go walk my dog and clean the house while he was fixing it. After he was done, I had a few questions and he answered them all. He did a rundown of the status of my car and any recommendations for other things to maintain/fix. He was very honest and wasn't trying to swindle more money out of me/push me to do unnecessary repairs. We had a little small talk after about the car and its history. Jose was great and has been fixing cars since 1969, so experienced. Beforehand, I have read his other not so favorable reviews and reached out to customer service to ask what was the action taken to satisfy those customers. I was assured upper management took care of it. I had a positive experience myself and am grateful this company makes house-calls because if it didn't, my battery would've drained again and it would cost me a tow to a regular auto-shop. Thanks Jose and YourMechanic!

Toyota Celica L4-2.2L - Adjust Ignition Timing - San Diego, California
Extremely fast and efficient. I was able to wait in the comfort of my own room, not a dingy mechanic shop waiting room. Huge difference in how the car drives now, can't believe I hadn't know about the problem earlier even when having taken it to a mechanic previously. The part wasn't hidden or anything and yet the other people missed it and charged me for something else. Thanks Ryan!
