Transmission
Tips
Have a professional examine the transmission fluid
level and condition in your car or truck before changing the fluid.
Use a quality fluid and additive like LubeGuard.
Use the proper fluid. Read your owners manual
for correct specifications.
Make sure of the proper operating temperature of
your engine and transmission.
Have your transmission fluid and filter changed
once a year or every 15,000 miles (whichever comes first).
Do not rock your vehicle back and forth in the
snow.
Do not let a little leak go unattended.
Keep all your electronic and computer connectors
dry and clean. Do not power wash an engine that has electronic controls.
Keep the battery terminals and connections
clean. Change the battery if acid forms. This acid can ruin a wire harness below the
battery.
Drive under the recommended workload of your
vehicle's capability.
Do not hot rod, neutral slam or manually shift
your transmission unless absolutely necessary. It's cheaper to replace brakes than a
transmission.
