Jerking or delayed shifting are typical signs of a problem with the automatic transmission, often related to old transmission fluid. These symptoms should not be ignored as they can indicate initial wear and tear, which could lead to expensive repairs later on. A timely diagnosis and service can often prevent major damage and noticeably improve shifting comfort.
Yes, a professional transmission fluid (ATF) change is a core part of our service for automatic transmissions. We use modern equipment to thoroughly remove the old fluid and deposits from the entire system, including the torque converter and lines. This ensures that the new fluid can perform at its best, allowing the transmission to shift smoothly and precisely again.
The replacement interval for automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is specified by the vehicle manufacturer and depends on the model and usage. If no manufacturer specification is available or if symptoms such as jerking are already present, an inspection is advisable. A regular fluid change is crucial for the longevity and proper function of the transmission and helps prevent costly damage.
