Your cars transmission is a complex system that plays a crucial role in your vehicles smooth operation. Its responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels, allowing you to drive. Over time, the transmission fluid inside your transmission can become contaminated with debris, wear particles, and other contaminants. This contamination can lead to a variety of problems, including⁚
- Reduced performance⁚ A contaminated transmission fluid can cause your transmission to shift sluggishly or harshly, making it difficult to accelerate or change gears smoothly.
- Transmission failure⁚ If the transmission fluid becomes too contaminated, it can damage the internal components of your transmission, leading to a complete failure.

- Noise and vibration⁚ A contaminated transmission fluid can cause your transmission to make strange noises or vibrate.
