Here are some common Connecticut transmission maintenance items that you should consider:

 Transmission Fluid Change

Regularly changing the transmission fluid is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and longevity of the transmission. Over time, transmission fluid can become contaminated or break down, leading to decreased shifting quality and potential damage. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the appropriate interval for fluid changes.

Transmission Filter Replacement

Many transmissions have an internal filter that helps to remove debris and contaminants from the fluid. It is typically recommended to replace the transmission filter when performing a fluid change. However, not all transmissions have serviceable filters, so check your vehicle's specific requirements.

Transmission Pan Gasket Replacement

When performing a transmission fluid change, it's often necessary to replace the transmission pan gasket. Over time, the gasket can become worn or damaged, leading to fluid leaks. Replacing the gasket helps to ensure a proper seal and prevent leaks.

Transmission Cooler Maintenance

Some vehicles have external transmission coolers that help regulate the transmission fluid temperature. It's important to inspect these coolers for any signs of damage, leaks, or blockages. Regular cleaning and flushing of the cooler may be necessary to maintain optimal cooling performance.

It's essential to consult your vehicle's owner manual or consult with a qualified mechanic to understand the specific transmission maintenance requirements for your vehicle.
