Checking the level and condition of transmission fluid

Drivers may begin to notice delayed gear engagement, rough shifting, or unusual transmission noises. In many cases the cause can be low transmission fluid level or degraded fluid condition. At FIX SERVICE we diagnose the transmission fluid level and condition and inspect the system for possible leaks. Even drained transmission fluid can provide valuable diagnostic information. Its color, smell, and the presence of metal particles or friction material can reveal what is happening inside the transmission and whether internal wear is beginning. Our mechanics pay close attention to these details because they help accurately determine the real condition of the transmission. It is also important to note that access and service procedures vary between vehicles. Some transmissions are simple to inspect and service, while others require more complex procedures and additional labor, so the final service cost may vary depending on the vehicle design.
