Having trouble with your transmission car? When was the last time that the transmission was serviced? If you're like most people, it was probably a bit '. For some reason the transmission or maintenance of exchange neglected by most people until a repair is required. If the problems present with vehicle control or assignments, service or rinsing liquid is not the answer.
What is a transmission service?
A service is, if the Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) andFilter is changed. Most programs have a filter maintenance, but some cars like Honda, have no filter, which is accessible for maintenance. In the case of vehicles which is not easily accessible through a filter, a simple "escape and fill" all that is required for proper maintenance. It is a preventive maintenance, trouble-free guaranteed fresh from the ATF.
Some vehicle manufacturers list service intervals every 30,000 miles, about every 100,000 km, and there are someThe manufacturers claim that their items are never served. I find this high-mileage service intervals are risky. The high pressures and temperatures, ATF, is to be exposed during normal operation to break the fluidity of air conditioning and sliding and can lead to premature failure of mechanical. Actually, a transfer must be repaired once a year for the transmission, the ATF is not synthetic and once every two years to use vehicles that use synthetic automaticGear oil. This is a rule that applies to all vehicles. If you are not sure what type of ATF used the vehicle, consult your owner's manual or a qualified mechanic.
What is a wire transfer?
A flush is when a technician to hook a car transmission cooling lines and replaced the liquid with new ATF. It 'better than a regular service? My 17 years of experience, for example, some vehicle manufacturers and technicians with no respect. The argument for awire lines is a regular service, implementing a service on a regular automatic transmission, only one third of the liquid is actually replaced, and the replacement of a wire 100% of the ATF. Of course, the change to 100% of fluid replacement only sounds better than third, but the fact is that there needs to be 100% automatic transmission fluid changed.
Gearboxes are sealed units, they have everything that is fed. The engines operate on gasoline. The gasoline burned producesDerivatives, traps and supplies to the engine oil filter. Because these products will be contaminated with engine oil and must be changed frequently. With the gearbox is sealed, there is no material outside, breaking the ATF and filter clogging. Running the third vital service is sufficient for proper maintenance. Remember, your cup of coffee in a restaurant as the waitress (mechanical) at regular intervals to finish the coffee (ATF) to make it hot and fresh. The most importantATF is the difference must be "poured" out to make room for the fresh liquid. How crazy would it take to throw away a waitress in the coffee cup, and then charge the full price for mine?
Honda North America warns against hot flashes actually Honda and Acura transmissions. A direct quote from Honda Electronic HSN0206-07 reads: "Flush systems have not improved vehicle performance and proven reliability."
But does my transmission and I neverServiced it.
If maintenance has been neglected, is not the time of $ 100 for a regular service or pay up to $ 300 for a color. The transfer must be diagnosed by a specialist to see what the cause of the problems of displacement or exposure. Defective components, such as solenoid valves and sensors caused transmission problems, and during services, the oil pan must be removed to be replaced. When the transfer is not served before being properly diagnosed, you may need to pay twice the workReplacement for the part that could have access during the first service. If an internal error that requires a conversion or revision is the cause of the problem, a service or oil change is a waste of money that can not be reached during the repair.
After a maintenance plan for maintenance of transmission fluid is the best thing you can do to avoid costly repairs. Happen if the switch or commitment problems, you have your vehicle diagnosed by a specialist, or certified transmissionShe might just be throwing your money away.
