Although your vehicle's transmission is not the first thing you tell people when you talk about your car, it is one of the most important components with hundreds of moving parts working together. In short, the transmission changes the gears in your car's engine and then transfers the engine's power to your wheels. Without a transmission, you could not drive your car, which is why you must keep it serviced.

A transmission needs routine service just like you would routinely change the oil in your engine. A full transmission service includes flushing out old transmission oil, removing the pan and then cleaning the pan, replacing the pan's gasket and then adding new quality automatic transmission fluid. Transmissions need fluid to lubricate all the hundreds of moving parts.

Is it time to get your car driving at optimal levels? Then a transmission service should be on your checklist. Come see one of our automotive professionals at Cortland Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM.
