When it comes to keeping your 4WD running smoothly, a transmission fluid flush is a vital piece of preventive maintenance you don’t want to overlook. Just like an oil change, replacing old transmission fluid with fresh fluid ensures your transmission stays in top shape and ready for anything.
A transmission flush goes further than a simple fluid change, which only replaces a portion of the fluid. Using specialized equipment, a flush removes all the old fluid, contaminants and debris to give your transmission a clean slate, maximizing its lifespan and efficiency.
Not sure if it’s time for a transmission flush?
Look out for these tell-tale signs: strange noises like thumping, grinding, or whining when shifting gears; slipping gears or delayed gear engagement; sluggish acceleration; and unexpected surges. Any of these symptoms could signal it’s time to protect your transmission with a flush.
If you’re frequently towing or hitting rugged trails, a transmission cooler is also a must-have. Heavy loads and intense off-roading can push your transmission to temperatures above 93°C, putting the fluid and components under strain. A transmission cooler can reduce fluid temperature by up to 30°C, helping your transmission perform smoothly even when the going gets tough.
Don’t wait for bigger issues to crop up—keep your 4WD adventure-ready with a transmission flush. Book your flush today and ensure your transmission is ready for the long haul!
