The transmission of the vehicle makes it possible to shift gears. As with any other component of a vehicle, the transmission can begin to fail. With proper maintenance, it could last for thousands of miles.
There is no designated length of time or mileage that you need to get the transmission fluid changed. The fluid should be checked each time the oil is changed or if there is a lag in how the vehicle shifts gears. The type of car and the year will also be an indication as to how often you should have the fluid changed. Your transmission fluid should be light pink to light red in color. It should not smell burnt as this could mean that the gears are working harder than needed.
The service department at Hutch Ford Lincoln is ready to answer any questions that you have about the transmission. Someone can also check and change your fluid when needed, giving you a few tips on what to look for if you think the transmission is failing as well.
