Your Chrysler transmission is state-of-the-art, but even it needs regular servicing to keep it working effectively. Your car will need a transmission service every 30,000 to 100,000 miles. The exact service requirement for your model is listed in your car’s manual. As your Chrysler dealer in Wolf Point, MT, we’re here to service your transmission when you need it. These are a few reasons why we recommend regular services.
Your Transmission Will Work More Efficiently
Your transmission is one of the hardest working parts of your car. It works continually to channel your engine’s power into a usable form to move your car. A transmission is a hot environment filled with the constant movement of hundreds of gear and other components. As time passes, these components will age and start to fail.
The transmission fluid that cools and lubricates the transmission slowly becomes thicker and slower. This change affects the transmission as the internal heat gradually rises, and components are damaged by friction. Servicing your transmission removes these problems. Worn parts are replaced and new transmission fluid allows all the components to move faster and smoother.
You Reduce Strain on Your Engine
The transmission and the engine are connected by the torque converter. The engine produces power, and the transmission focuses this power through its gear system. The engine and transmission have a symbiotic relationship and damaged or failing parts in one will affect the performance of the other. If your transmission is behind with its service, this can lead to increased fuel usage and additional wear and tear on your engine.
A worn or damaged transmission will take longer to shift gears. Your engine will produce more power to overcome the resistance caused by the slow-moving gears. More engine power means faster combustion and increased fuel usage to achieve the same result. Once your transmission is serviced, it’ll operate smoothly again, and the demands on your engine will be reduced.
You Save Money
Our Chrysler-trained technicians are experts at repairs and diagnosis. As our technicians service your transmission, they’re continually observing your transmission components. Their training allows them to spot potential problems that other technicians could miss. If a problem is detected, we’ll inform you right away.
Repairing or replacing a worn or partially damaged component is easier and quicker before the component fails. This approach reduces potential damage by preventing a component from failing while you’re driving. Failures in the transmission could lead to additional damage or even an accident if the transmission fails while you’re driving. This saves you money and time in future repairs.
