The purpose of transmission fluid is to provide the fluid needed for hydraulic pressure to allow shifting engagements. Likewise, it allows for the cooling and lubrication of your transmission parts. However, with time this fluid collects dirt and foreign particles that minimize its effectiveness causing your transmission to experience more heat and friction. It may also result in sludge build-up and interfere with your shifting and acceleration.
A transmission fluid flush is a procedure that cleans your entire transmission. It gets rid of old transmission fluid, sludge, and grime.

Some Common Signs Your Car Needs a Transmission Fluid Flush
Do you need a transmission flush? Here are some common signs to look out for that indicate your car needs one;
If your transmission fluid is dirty, you may experience problems when shifting gears. These contaminants may cause a sluggish response when you shift gears.
What Happens During a Transmission Flush?
The basic transmission fluid change is done by allowing the old fluid to drain and replacing it with new transmission fluid. However, this method leaves a residue that can contaminate the new fluid. The best way of having it done is at a trusted auto repair shop like AAMCO Chester, where a flushing machine is connected to your transmission and hydraulically pushes out all the old fluid while replenishing your transmission exactly to the correct level with new, fresh fluid. If your transmission is very dirty, a solvent is first run through to clear out dirt and debris before new transmission fluid is introduced.
Why is a Transmission Fluid Flush So Important?
Can help protect vital warranties. Most new vehicles and trucks have a powertrain warranty to protect the transmission, engine, and drive system. However, if you don’t maintain these systems as recommended, it can result in your warranty being voided, which can cost you a significant amount of money.

If your transmission is extensively damaged, our experts at AAMCO Chester VA will perform a thorough inspection and may recommend a transmission repair or replacement instead. At AAMCO Chester VA, we recommend routine maintenance to preserve the longevity of your transmission.
