Your transmission is designed to transfer power from your car’s engine to the wheels, allowing your car to drive smoothly. Unfortunately, over time, microscopic parts of the engine can rub off into the transmission fluid, creating engine sludge that can interfere with the efficiency of your car. Fortunately, this fluid can be flushed and replaced to remove all traces of these harmful impurities. Here are a few benefits of this necessary part of transmission maintenance. 

Why You Should Schedule a Transmission Flush

1. Preserve Warranties

During a flush, your car’s transmission fluid is drained from the lines and then pushed through to completely clear out the transmission. During this flush, debris and other tiny fibers are also cleaned out, preventing future damage. 

For this reason, flushes are considered normal components of transmission maintenance and are required to preserve many varieties of powertrain warranties. Without routine maintenance, you could void the warranty and lose a significant amount of money. 

2. Protect Your Transmission

Your transmission is such an essential component of your vehicle that damage could render your car undrivable. By flushing the transmission and keeping up with other maintenance tasks, you can prevent breakdowns. Experts recommend having the transmission flushed every 30,000 to 60,000 miles to protect your car’s drivetrain. 

3. Improve Gas Mileage 

If your car slips into gears it shouldn’t be in when you are driving, it can burn a tremendous amount of gasoline, which is bad for fuel economy. A flush helps your transmission stay stable and reliable, saving you money at the pump as well as the auto shop.
