Transmission Fluid Service
A vehicle's transmission transfers power from the engine to the wheels, changing gears based on vehicle speed to reduce fuel consumption and prevent the engine from overloading. Uncle Ed’s transmission services replace transmission fluid and protect against wear and tear.
Transmission Fluid Exchange Service
Transmission fluid lubricates and cools mechanical parts. Transmission fluid makes shifting gears easier and, in the case of automatic transmissions, provides the hydraulic pressure needed for gear changes.
Like other engine fluids, transmission fluid degrades over time. Debris, oxidized particles, and metal shavings accumulate in older transmission fluid, impairing its lubricating properties and damaging hoses and clamps, leading to fluid leaks.
A transmission fluid change replaces old, dirty fluid with new transmission fluid. Changing transmission fluid based on manufacturer recommendations extends the life of your transmission by removing debris and adding cleaning agents.
Benefits of regularly changing transmission fluid include:
Smoother, quieter shifting after automatic transmission services.
Car engines run cooler.
Routine transmission fluid replacement protects seals to prevent leaks.
How often should you change transmission fluid?
Your user manual recommends checking your automatic transmission fluid every 25,000 to 150,000 miles, depending on the make and model of your vehicle. Uncle Ed’s checks your automatic transmission fluid with every oil change.
Premium Transmission Clean and Treatment Service
Uncle Ed’s premium transmission clean and treatment service combines a transmission fluid exchange with a cleaning service and treatment for a 3-in-1 transmission service:
Transmission fluid exchange replaces old fluid, improving lubrication and removing sludge, dirt, and contaminants.
Transmission system cleaner removes corrosion from the working parts of your transmission, making shifting gears smoother.
Uncle Ed’s premium treatment rejuvenates gaskets, preserves and protects seals, and prevents oxidation.
