Symptoms of poorly operating transmission fluid

Your engine overheats
The vehicle struggles to run comfortably
When your vehicle stalls when driving up or down steep inclines
When your check engine light is illuminated
If the transmission makes unexpected noises or feels lumpy in its performance
Overheating causes the majority of automatic transmission failures, and is often brought about by old transmission fluid that should have already been replaced.

Why your automatic transmission could fail and why fluid replacement is so important
Hydraulic issues
As already mentioned, your automatic transmission isn’t solely a cog-selecting operation. It operates by driving pressurised fluid through its components.

To do this smoothly and efficiently, and through the maze of filters, metering valves and tiny orifices it has to, it needs to stay as clean and as pure as possible.

Obviously, that’s easy said than done with components that are in constant connection with each other. Everyday operation will cause general wear, leaving tiny fragments and debris floating in your transmission fluid

Manual gearboxes usually require a gearbox oil change every (48,000 to 80,000 km). Automatic gearboxes usually have gear oil change intervals of between (96,000 to 160,000 km).
When it comes to car oil maintenance, it’s usually engine oil that gets all of the attention. While engine oil is obviously of great importance, gearbox oil is generally forgotten about, and not enough motorists give sufficient consideration to this vital fluid. As it is rarely visible and is not liable to cause problems over the course of the average car’s life, it’s easy to think that gearbox oil just gets on with its job without the need for regular inspection or maintenance. However, as with most components in your car, if it goes wrong, it can be highly dangerous
