Transmission Fluid Flush

Sherman's Transmission Fluid Flush Services
Your vehicle’s transmission is a critical component responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels, ensuring smooth acceleration and efficient shifting. Over time, transmission fluid can degrade, becoming contaminated with dirt, debris, and metal particles, which can lead to poor performance, increased wear, and potential damage to the transmission components. At Sherman’s Auto Repair, we specialize in transmission fluid flush services to maintain your transmission’s health and longevity.
Signs Your Transmission Fluid Needs Flushing
Be alert to these critical signals that suggest your vehicle’s transmission fluid may require a flush for optimal performance and longevity:
- Slipping Gears: Experiencing delays in gear engagement, unexpected shifts, or gears slipping while driving are strong indicators of low or deteriorating transmission fluid, which is crucial for maintaining the hydraulic pressure necessary for gears to function correctly.
- Rough Shifting: Encountering jerky or harsh transitions between gears could point to insufficient lubrication, often a consequence of aged or contaminated transmission fluid.
- Transmission Overheating: If your transmission frequently reaches high temperatures, it can accelerate the breakdown of transmission fluid, resulting in reduced lubrication, increased friction, and the potential for overheating, which can cause significant damage.
- Fluid Discoloration or Contamination: Regular checks of your transmission fluid for any change in color to a dark brown or black, or the presence of metal shavings, debris, or sludge, are clear signs that a fluid flush and replacement are necessary.
- Unusual Noises: Sounds such as whining, grinding, or humming from the transmission during driving or gear changes can signal a lack of lubrication or harm caused by compromised transmission fluid.
If you notice any of these signs, visit Sherman’s Auto Repair for a comprehensive transmission inspection and expert fluid flush service.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is changing transmission fluid the same as a flush?
No, they’re different. A fluid change usually replaces about half of the fluid by draining the pan, while a flush replaces all of the fluid and removes more debris.
Are transmission fluid flushes really necessary?
Yes, they are essential for automatic transmissions to prevent damage, maintain lubrication, and ensure safe vehicle operation.
How does a transmission fluid flush benefit my vehicle?
A flush can extend the life of your transmission by replacing old fluid, which helps to lubricate the system and reduce friction.
Can a transmission flush fix existing problems?
A flush is preventive, not a cure for existing issues. If you have transmission problems, a flush won’t fix them.
What if my transmission fluid is dirty or smells burnt?
Dirty or burnt-smelling fluid is a sign that your transmission needs attention. It’s best to get the fluid, filter, and pan gasket changed.
