No matter how powerful your Chevy model’s engine is, the transmission is what makes that power useful. The transmission transfers engine power to the drive wheels. Fortunately, the transmission is not a high-maintenance system; however, it will need regular inspections and fluid exchanges. When the time comes for you to have your transmission fluid changed, we invite you to Camino Real Chevrolet near Montebello and El Monte, California. Find out more here!
The transmission fluid serves as a lubricant in both automatic and manual transmissions. Transmission fluid keeps the moving metal components inside the transmission from grinding against each other and being damaged by friction. Manual transmissions require gear oil lubrication, while automatic transmission fluid has additional detergents and hydraulic properties.
As time passes, the transmission fluid in your transmission will either degrade or become contaminated with tiny bits of metal and plastic. When this happens, it will lose its ability to lubricate the transmission. As a result, the transmission’s lifespan will be shortened, and you may need to replace it sooner than you would otherwise.
