The Advantages of a Transmission Flush
The Advantages of a Transmission Flush A transmission flush has become a routine
vehicle maintenance procedure. Manufacturers now recommend performing a
transmission flush once every 30,000 miles. Transmission flushes offer many
advantages to vehicles that allow them to function more effectively as well as

and Replacement The process of a transmission flush is a complete exchange of
the transmission fluid Creader
VI, which is what helps the transmission to operate effectively. A
transmission flush consists of changing out the old fluid---that can be
identified due to its color---and replacing it with new transmission fluid,
which normally amounts to about five quarts. Transmission filters are also
frequently changed as well, which allow the transmission to function properly
and increase its longevity. Power-Flow Interruption Mostly applicable to manual
transmissions, power-flow interruption is a problem that occurs when shifting
gears. During shifting, the transmission loses power slightly. Automatic
transmissions are much better at maintaining power than manual transmissions;
however, transmission fluid is still required to make the shift as smooth and
uninterrupted as possible. Transmission flushes help to decrease power-flow
interruption, which directly affects the "smoothness" while changing speeds on
the road. Wear and Tear The main selling point for transmission flushes is to
prevent less wear and tear on the transmission over time. Vehicles without
transmission fluid---or fresh transmission fluid---will be very short-lived and
ultimately need a new transmission. Transmission Service Considered another type
of routine transmission maintenance---a transmission service is not the same as
a transmission flush. A transmission service only removes part of the
transmission fluid rather than the entire amount that a transmission flush does.
Although transmission services can be used as a temporary replacement for
transmission flushes, they are not as effective.
