📢 Tech Tip Tuesday! ⚙️🛢️
Do you drive an automatic? You might have been told your gearbox is "sealed for life." This , we’re debunking that myth!
While some manufacturers say the fluid never needs changing, we see the results of "old oil" every day. Automatic Gearbox Fluid (ATF) works under immense heat and pressure. Over time, it breaks down and gets dirty.
Signs your gearbox needs a service:
• Slow Shifts: The car hesitates or "hunts" for the right gear.
• Rough Shifting: You feel a "thud" or a "clunk" when the car changes gear.
• Slipping: The engine revs up, but the car doesn't seem to move forward as it should.
Top Tip: A simple gearbox service (fluid and filter change) is a fraction of the cost of a full gearbox rebuild. Prevention is always better than the cure!
