In fact, it is only second to your vehicle&#8217;s engine. The repairs as well as replacing the part is a costly affair. Take care of it properly and you will be able to avoid unnecessary repairs and extend the life of your vehicle&#8217;s transmission. Following tips will help you to take care of the part properly.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Service the transmission periodically, every 2 years or 30,000 miles. Do an overall transmission flush (including cooler lines, transmission cooler, and the torque converter) every 40,000 miles. If possible, make bands adjustment every 60,000 miles. This may be costly, however, in the long run, it will be worth it.<\/li>\n<li>The fluid can go a long way in extending the life of your transmission. Check the fluid on a regular basis. If you are using a petroleum-based fluid, consider upgrading to synthetic fluid. They hold up much better to heat. Over a longer period of time, they hold up much better to their properties as well. Keep in mind that it is vital to use the right type of fluid for your vehicle.<\/li>\n<li>Add an additional filter to the cooler line. It will help to provide an extra protection to the fluid from contaminants.<\/li>\n<li>A transmission cooler of good quality, preferably one with a built-in fan, will provide extra protection to the transmission. Heat is bad for transmission. Keeping the transmission as cool as possible will help to prolong its life. It is also important to maintain the cooling system. Service it every 2 years. Maintenance should include radiator cap pressure test, thermostat check, inspection of belts and hoses, checking for damage and leaks, checking the coolant levels, and antifreeze replacement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You may visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\/?ibp-adgroup=SE_Target\">New Jersey State Auto Auction<\/a> to service your car or check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\/search\/used\/tp\/?ibp-adgroup=SE_Target\">pre-owned cars and trucks<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>#NJSAA<\/p>\n<p>#NJStateAuto<\/p>\n<p>#NJStateAutoAuction<\/p>\n<p><strong>New Jersey State Auto Auction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>406 Sip Avenue<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jersey City, New Jersey 07306<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Phone: 201.355.4138<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\/?ibp-adgroup=SE_Target\">www.NJStateAuto.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The transmission is an important piece of machinery in your vehicle.
