Some transmissions require a service tool to check fluid level, the fluid level can be found either on the side of the transmission or in the plug in pan.
Some of these need to be checked at a certain temperature and require the use of a scan tool.
So for owners of a motor vehicle, what once used to be a simple task – checking the fluid level, must be performed by a technician.
The correct fluid and fluid levels are critical for a transmission.
Using the wrong fluid can damage the auto transmission, resulting in costly repairs or replacement of the auto transmission.
Even minor issues, like leaks, can cause damage.- Some costly transmission rebuilds can be avoided with simple maintenance.
- The use of the right transmission fluid.
Most of the time, when there is a leak in a transmission, it goes unnoticed for some time. A driver may not even notice any difference in the way the gears shift or in the car’s performance. A leak that occurs over time can cause the transmission to flare or slip. If the damage reaches this level, repair can be costly and can lead to:
- Transmission overhaul
- Transmission replacement
