What Is a Transmission?

What Is a Transmission?

The transmission is the fundamental system in a vehicle that transfers power from the engine to the wheels.

The transmission does not transfer engine power directly to the wheels. It is an effective structure that enables gear ratios to decrease and increase.

Why Should Transmission Fluid Be Changed?

Transmission systems need a robust gear mechanism to perform their function in the vehicle.

When the transmission operates, gears rub against each other, and this causes wear on transmission gears over time.

Transmission fluid reduces wear on the gears and helps the transmission run more efficiently and reliably.

Because there are many types of vehicles, there are also different types of transmissions.

The correct transmission fluid must be used, and the fluid should be changed at specified mileage intervals. The service life of transmission fluid is generally determined by the manufacturer.

Experts generally recommend changing transmission fluid at 60,000 km.

How Is Transmission Fluid Checked?

Changing transmission fluid at the right intervals helps prevent certain transmission problems and can make a noticeable difference in vehicle performance.

On some automatic transmission models, fluid level can be checked with a dipstick.

The dipstick is usually red. Manual transmission vehicles do not require routine fluid changes; fluid is replaced during transmission repair.
