Your vehicle’s transmission is one of many vitally important systems. The transmission system, or gearbox as it is sometimes called, is responsible for helping an automobile build momentum. It uses a series of gears to translate many small, fast spins into large, powerful motions. This allows your car to efficiently start and stop. The transmission system is a relatively low-maintenance machine. It does not often require service, but it is a good idea to check the fluid every so often. While it is unlikely that you will need to add transmission fluid since it doesn’t burn away, checking it will alert you to any hidden issues that your transmission may be hiding. Transmissions do not have many noticeable signs of failure besides leaks. Your car’s owners manual will have guidelines concerning when you should change the fluid in its transmission. This will likely have to be done by a mechanic since it is difficult to flush out the old fluid without specialized heavy-duty tools. Transmission fluid differs in automatic and manual transmissions. Because automatic transmission run much hotter than manual ones, they actually deteriorate the fluid, making it less effective at lubricating the components. Manual transmission fluid becomes contaminated with small, metallic chips from normal use, much like engine oil does. The transmission is a vital component of a fully-operational vehicle.
