Transmission Services

Transmission fluid cools and lubricates the moving parts inside your transmission. Over time, worn metal shavings can contaminate the fluid, shortening the transmission’s lifespan. Changing transmission fluid protects your vehicle from this damage. Scheduling a transmission service based on your owner’s manual is a wise investment that can save you thousands in repair bills. 

Transmission Services We Offer: 

American LubeFast® offers both manual and automatic transmission services. Here’s how the two services differ:

Automatic Transmission Service

American LubeFast technicians flush 100% of the old fluid, dirt, and contaminants from your transmission during an automatic transmission service. We refill your transmission with premium fluid that meets or exceeds your manufacturer’s recommendations. 

Manual Transmission Service 

A manual transmission service removes all fluid, dirt, and contaminants from the transmission. We inspect all drain and fill plugs for damage and refill the transmission with premium transmission fluid that meets or exceeds your manufacturer’s recommendations.

Whether you need manual or automatic transmission service, American LubeFast captures and recycles all old transmission fluid to keep our planet green!

How Does Transmission Fluid Exchange Service Help Your Car? 

A transmission oil change can improve your car’s performance and fuel economy. Equally important, a transmission service prevents serious damage caused by old, contaminated fluid. 

Signs Your Vehicle Needs a Transmission Fluid Exchange

The following warning signs indicate a possible problem with your transmission fluid:

• Your transmission leaks fluid (transmission fluid is dyed red. Old fluid may be dark brown or black). 
• Your Check Engine light or Service Transmission light is on. 
• You feel grinding or shaking when changing gears. 
• The engine revs but accelerates slowly. 
• Shifting gears feels rough or harsh. 

How Often Should You Change Transmission Fluid? 

Your owner’s manual should include manufacturer recommendations for changing transmission fluid. 

How Much Transmission Fluid Do You Need? 

How much transmission fluid you need depends on your vehicle type. Check your owner’s manual for the amount your manufacturer recommends.
