Dodge Transmission Flush

A transmission flush is frequently twice the price of a fluid change due to the amount of hard time the service takes and the fact that the flush not only replaces the fluid in the pan but still removes needless fluid from the cooler lines and other components of your critical transmission. A Dodge transmission flush still uses about 10 quarts of fluid to entirely clean and flush out the system.

How do you know if you need a Transmission Fluid Change or Transmission Flush?

A transmission flush is only necessary if your system contains uncontrolled dirt or debris. If the fluid is very dark or contains other sediments, we would advocate a complete system flush instead of only just exchanging the fluid. If you'd like one of our experienced and skillful Dodge technicians to meticulously examine your transmission fluid, book your transmission service online or give Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise a call at 2085100490.

Dodge Automatic vs Manual Transmission

Automatic and manual transmission will often require an assortment of different fluids. Automatic transmission fluids are ordinarily thinner and are often red or green in color. Manual transmission fluid or gear oil is more burly and thicker due to additives and other critical compounds necessary to lubricate the gearbox and other components. Manual transmissions have a higher friction environment due to the way gears are changed, thus the lubricant is vastly different.

Not only are the fluids different between manual and automatic transmissions but the level of heat the fluids experience is very different. Automatic transmissions generate ample heat and thus the fluid in your transmission must be changed more frequently. If you don't change your Dodge transmission fluid, your transmission will have unpredictable broken metal shavings and other corrosive material spread throughout the essential components of your Dodge. You should frequently check the fluid levels between your fluid and transmission flush service intervals. In many cases, manual transmissions don't come equipped with a dipstick to check your fluid levels, so it can be exceptionally difficult to do. Call or visit Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise for more data if your transmission doesn't contain a dipstick.

A transmission fluid change is a straightforward service that drains the old fluid from the transmission pan and replaces it along with the filter.

The most common indicators include transmission fluid leaks (typically pink or reddish fluid under the car), unusual grinding or humming noises when shifting, gears catching, a distinct burning smell under the hood, delayed engagement when changing gears, or the transmission warning light appearing on your dashboard.
