What does an automatic transmission service consist off ?
Again varies between models, generally the transmission sump is removed, filter changed, sump washed, gaskets replaced and any adjustments made. The unit is then refilled with fresh oil, road tested and checked for leaks. Servicing the automatic transmission on a regular basis gives us the opportunity to spot and rectify any potential problems before they turn into a crisis.
An automatic transmission, also called auto, self-shifting transmission, n-speed automatic (where n represents its number of forward gear ratios), or AT, is a type of motor vehicle transmission that automatically changes the gear ratio as the vehicle moves, meaning that the driver does not have to shift the gears manually. Like other transmission systems on vehicles, it allows an internal combustion engine, best suited to run at a relatively high rotational speed, to provide a range of speed and torque outputs necessary for vehicular travel. The number of forward gear ratios is often expressed for manual transmissions as well (e.g., 6-speed manual). The also come with a transmission cooler.
