Tips
The mechanics at Hillsdale Transmission & Auto Repair have years of experience repairing vehicles and have some tips to offer you to keep your vehicle and your transmission in working condition.
-
During an oil change, also check the level and condition of your transmission fluid.
-
Has your transmission fluid changed according to the manufacturer's specifications? We recommend every 15,000 to 20,000 miles.
-
Vehicles that are heavily used should have the fluid and filters changed more frequently and could possibly benefit from the installation of an auxiliary cooler.
-
Leaks under the vehicle could be a potential problem and should be addressed as soon as possible.
-
Check around the radiator and air ducts for obstructions and debris.
-
Check the condition of your vehicle's hoses and belts, and replace any that appear cracked or leaking.
-
Don't use overdrive on mountainous terrain or while towing.
