Having the right levels of transmission fluid and keeping it free of debris is crucial. Components like the torque converter rely on your transmission fluid to convert power from the engine to the transmission. The transmission fluid acts as a lubricant for the bearing and other metal parts in the gearbox. This makes it much easier to shift gears as you put your vehicle in reverse, drive, neutral, and park. Depending on the type of transmission you have and manufacturer specifications, there are different transmission fluids to choose from: 

  • Automatic transmission fluid
  • Manual transmission fluid
  • Synthetic transmission fluid
  • Traditional transmission fluid

Signs Your Transmission Fluid Has Issues

Checking the fluid is an important part of regular maintenance. During your next service interval, it is a good idea to get your transmission fluid inspected. If you have 100,000 miles on your vehicle, it is time to replace your transmission fluid. Here are some of the signs that indicate you have low levels of transmission fluid and need to bring your car in for transmission fluid service:

  • Warning light on your dashboard
  • Difficulty changing gears
  • Transmission fluid leakage
  • Dark brown color

A simple way to check your transmission fluid is to look at the transmission fluid dipstick. By doing this, you are checking the fluid for any debris or if it is low.
