FAQ on Transmission Service in Lebanon, TN

Your transmission fluid keeps your transmission running smoothly, and when it gets dirty or low your transmission will start to struggle to function properly. You should check your transmission fluid at least once a month for any signs of trouble.

There are some important signs to be on the lookout for to make sure your vehicle is functioning properly. If you notice that your gears are beginning to slip, you hear unusual grinding or clunking noises, you're leaking transmission fluid, or there's hesitation when the gears shift. If you notice any of these signs, schedule a service appointment with the auto shop today.

Transmission fluid typically is thick and slick like oil and has a light pink color to it. If you find red or brown liquid under your vehicle you may be experiencing a leak. If your transmission fluid looks dark brown or black and smells burnt, then it's time to get it changed, so bring it in to be serviced by our mechanics.

Your transmission helps move the power from your engine to the wheels. The main two types of transmission are manuals and automatics. A manual or stick shift requires the driver to complete extra steps for the vehicle and automatically does the shifting for the driver.

Each vehicle's make and model is different and for a more specific answer, you should check your vehicle's owner's manual. However, a good rule of thumb is to base it on the vehicle's mileage; generally, you should get your transmission fluid changed every 30,000 to 50,000 miles.
