What does it mean to maintain a transmission?
1 Answers
Transmission maintenance refers to the need to clean the internal components of the transmission after the vehicle has been driven for a certain mileage. Since automatic transmissions primarily consist of oil passages, blockages in these passages can affect normal operation and potentially damage the transmission. Additionally, timely replacement of transmission fluid is essential. Below are specific methods for transmission maintenance: 1. Cleaning the transmission: After every 50,000 kilometers driven, connect the equipment to the vehicle's power supply and use the appropriate adapters to link the equipment to the transmission cooling lines. 2. Replacing transmission fluid: Whether it's a manual or automatic transmission, it is recommended to replace the automatic transmission fluid at least every 12 months or 20,000 kilometers. 3. Professional transmission maintenance: It is best to have the transmission serviced at a professional repair shop or 4S dealership, preferably using a transmission cleaner to remove sludge and carbon deposits from the transmission.
