Transmission Fluid Service
Transmission Fluid Change
Transmission Flush Near Me
Your vehicle's fluids are the life blood of the car and each fluid has a very important role to plan in the operation of your vehicle.
Your vehicle's transmission fluid is responsible for lubricating the moving parts within the transmission assembly and provide hydraulic pressure to make the parts work. Old and degraded fluid can't provide adequate lubrication, leading to increased friction and, consequently, overheating.
Transmission fluid change intervals vary from make and model and the team at Differentials Plus can help you determine when your vehicle should have a transmission fluid change.
Transmission fluid change service includes the draining of the old oil, replacement with new fluid specific to your vehicle's requirements and where applicable a filter change.
Transmission Replacement
Transmission Replacement Hixson, TN
Transmissions, overtime, may begin to fail and we find there are common failures and reason for those failures across different brands. Tell tale signs you are experience a transmission issue is a hesitation between gear shifts or a hard shift. You may also notice the needle on your tachometer showing increasing RPMS- if this happens but your speed isn't increase your transmission may be slipping. Erratic shifting like this can be cause by low or contaminated fluid or wore internals.
At Differentials Plus we offer replacement units only and do not offer rebuilding services. We have a number of vendors that offer remanufactured units with excellent warranties.

Types of Transmissions
1
Automatic Transmission
This transmission type employs a torque converter, planetary gearset, and clutches or bands to seamlessly shift through a vehicle's forward gears automatically. While primarily automated, certain automatic transmissions offer drivers a degree of manual control beyond selecting between forward, reverse, or neutral modes. These features enable drivers to manually initiate upshifts and downshifts using buttons or paddles located on the steering wheel or gear selector. Such transmissions are often referred to as "shiftable automatic," "Tiptronic," or "autostick."

Manual Transmission
In a manual transmission system, the driver engages in a hands-on process of gear selection. This selector allows the driver to manually shift between gears, dictating the vehicle's speed and power output. Additionally, the driver must operate a clutch pedal, typically located to the left of the brake pedal, to facilitate smooth transitions between gears. By depressing the clutch pedal, the driver disengages the transmission from the engine, enabling seamless gear changes. This interactive approach to gear shifting offers drivers greater control over their vehicle's performance

Continuously Variable Transmission
A continuously variable transmission (CVT) operates on a fundamentally different principle than traditional transmissions, as it utilizes a continuously variable drive ratio rather than discrete stepped gear ratios. Instead of gears, CVTs employ belts, pulleys, and sensors to seamlessly adjust the transmission's drive ratio, ensuring a smooth acceleration curve without the need for gear shifts. This dynamic adjustment enables the CVT to keep the engine operating within its optimal power range across various driving conditions, enhancing both efficiency and fuel economy.
