The thick, reddish liquid that keeps gears from shifting out of place and other vital driving mechanisms intact is the transmission fluid. Replacing it helps ensure the transmission is well lubricated. Serving the Cincinnati area for 15 years, Mr. Transmission is the only AAA-approved shop in the area for both domestic and foreign cars and trucks. Customers continue to return to the state-of-the-art facility whenever it’s time for their scheduled transmission fluid maintenance.

Your vehicle’s manual is your best source for knowing when the transmission fluid should be replaced. Generally speaking, here are a few tips to let you know when it may be time:

  • Mileage Limits: Depending on the vehicle, the transmission fluid typically needs changing every 50,000 to 100,000 miles. If it’s a manual transmission, the replacement schedule could vary based on the number of miles.
  • Frequent City Driving: Stop and go traffic as well as hauling heavy loads can cause the transmission to work harder than usual. If you drive under these conditions on a frequent basis, the fluid may need refreshing sooner than your vehicle’s recommended transmission fluid maintenance schedule.transmission fluid maintenance
  • Color Change: Most transmission fluids tend to be red in color but gets darker as they get older. Regardless of the color, if you notice the shade changing from its original color, ask your mechanic to check its quality.
  • Debris & Unusual Odor: Dirt and other pieces of debris in the fluid could indicate the liquid is starting to break down. A burnt smell may also signal possible mechanical problems within the transmission system.
