Transmission Service Savings in Ardmore, OK
Transmission Service
Transmission Service Available at Toyota of Ardmore
Between your car's engine and differential lies a box called the transmission. Simply put, it is responsible for transmitting power from the engine to the wheels. The gearbox achieves this using gears, allowing the vehicle to travel at varying speeds.
Transmissions can either be fully automatic or fully manual. Manual gearboxes require the driver to manipulate the clutch, while automatic transmissions employ hydraulic pressure to make gear changes.
The transmission is a crucial part of any vehicle and needs regular servicing to ensure it continues functioning correctly. Transmission service typically consists of a fluid and filter change and a leak check.
Transmission repairs are available at Toyota of Ardmore in Ardmore, OK. After removing the old fluid, our trained technicians will change the filter and refill the transmission with fresh fluid. Furthermore, we will check for leaks and other issues and fix them if necessary.
If you feel your Toyota needs transmission service, schedule one at our automotive service center today.
When Do You Need Transmission Service?
The first time you need to service your transmission should be at 60,000 miles. You need regular maintenance every 30,000 miles after that. You should immediately bring your Toyota in, though, if you experience any of the following:
- Warning Lights. Your Toyota has a warning system when the transmission is faulty. The symbol appears on your display; the exact symbol varies per car, so you may have to check your manual. The transmission needs servicing if this warning light comes on.
- Leaking. It's possible that a transmission issue is to blame for the leak. This is an indicator that your transmission needs attention. However, not all leaks necessitate an expensive gearbox repair.
- Lagging. Any delay in the transition from park to drive may indicate that your transmission is defective. One of the most noticeable and early warning indicators of a transmission malfunction is a delay in transition.
- Odor. A burning odor could be from burning transmission fluid or overheated gears.
- Buzzing. Strange sounds, like a buzz, coming from your vehicle warrant immediate attention. A whining sound from your transmission is an urgent call for maintenance.
- Clunking. Can you hear a clunk when you change gears? Your car needs servicing if your driving has uneven or jerky shifts.
