Nearly nine out of ten transmission failures are due to overheating and fluid
contamination, according to the Automatic Transmission Rebuilder's Association.
Just like the oil in your car's engine, automatic transmission fluid (ATF) suffers from
heat, friction and electrochemical degradation. Once this process starts, your
transmission's vital parts begin to clog with sludge and varnish deposits.
Unlike your car's engine where oil can be drained out, most of the transmission
fluid doesn't drain into the transmission pan. Instead it stays in the torque converter,
valve body and transmission cooler lines making a complete fluid drain impossible.
In fact, the typical transmission service only replaces 25% of the contaminated fluid,
leaving behind 75% contaminated fluid to mix with the new ATF.
According to automatic transmission fluid manufactures, the addition of new fluid
to contaminated fluid can actually cause sludge and varnish deposits to clog filters
and restrict the flow of transmission fluid. This can result in a serious malfunction,
or even complete failure of an automatic transmission.
Now you have an option. Our Transmission Fluid Exchange safely removes most,
if not all, of the old, contaminated fluid, as well as varnish and sludge deposits. It
also cleans the transmission cooler, valve body and torque converter to remove wear
metals that slowly grind away your transmission's internal components. Our
Transmission Fluid Exchange thoroughly cleans your car's transmission and protects
it with fresh ATF and conditioners that revitalize the seals and O-rings.
If your vehicle's transmission is showing any of the typical signs of contaminated
transmission fluid - slippage or rough or hard shifting - try this service. It may help
you avoid the cost of major repair work or prevent the need for a new transmission.
