A good way to stay aware of your transmission condition is
to check your parking space for any leaks or visible fluid spots periodically. If you do find fluid, you should get the leaks
fixed as soon as possible before any further damage or expensive problems arise.
Another helpful tip is to occasionally check your transmission fluid levels
and condition of the fluid by checking the transmission dipstick. Not
all vehicles have an automatic transmission dipstick to check the transmission
levels, some vehicles need to be checked by a mechanic or transmission repair
shop. If you do happen to check your levels and run into a situation where the transmission levels are low, it is probable you
must have a leak somewhere that needs to be fixed. Do not hesitate to fix any
transmission problems you may have, waiting to fix a transmission problem can result
in larger and more costly repair in the future.
Change the transmission fluid as often as your vehicle’s
owners manual recommends. If you notice while checking your transmission fluid levels that the transmission fluid seems to be brown or too
dark (should be red) or dirty you should change your transmission fluid.
It’s best to have someone who is a trained transmission
mechanic to service and change the fluid in your vehicle. If you’re in need of
a service or transmission repair, be sure to contact Jim’s transmission repair in Sioux Falls to help.
