An automotive transmission contains a complex system of gears and other moving parts, working together in unison to help your vehicle shift without hesitation and protect your engine from revving too high or low.
Like oil lubricates many parts of your vehicle’s engine, transmission fluid lubricates parts within a transmission and prevents these parts from overheating. Without fluid, your transmission will cease to work. However, the fluid that it does contain needs to be changed on a normal schedule because it begins to break down over time. Fluid breakdown results in higher transmission operating temperatures and the accumulation of particles that can clog moving parts. In a worst case scenario, bad fluid can lead to a total transmission replacement, costing you thousands of dollars.
