People often think of oil changes but overlook transmission fluid changes, but you need to get regular transmission service to keep your car efficient and operational. If you have no transmission fluid, for ex-ample, you can cause serious damage to your gears. It lubricates, cleans, and cools your transmission like the motor oil does to the engine. Like oil, you also will want to replace your transmission fluid after it gets old. Other types of services for transmission include replacing the pan, gasket, filter, and sump pump. Cleaning these is also standard. If you do not maintain these parts, you cannot shift your gears.
