Your transmission is one of the hardest-working—and most expensive—components of your vehicle. Whether you’ve upgraded to one of our performance transmissions or are still running your factory unit, regular maintenance is essential to keeping it performing at its peak. Unfortunately, transmission maintenance often takes a backseat, leading to costly repairs or even total failure down the road.

At Randy’s Transmissions, we want to help you protect your investment. Here’s everything you need to know about why maintenance matters and how our service kits make it simple.

 

Why Transmission Maintenance Matters

Just like your engine needs regular oil changes, your transmission relies on clean fluid and fresh filters to operate smoothly. Over time, transmission fluid breaks down, losing its ability to lubricate, cool, and protect the system. This breakdown can cause excess heat, pressure loss, and wear on internal components, putting your transmission at risk.

To prevent these issues, we recommend servicing your transmission every 30,000 miles. Staying consistent with maintenance will extend the life of your transmission and help you avoid unexpected (and expensive) problems down the road.

 

A Word of Caution

If you’ve fallen behind on transmission maintenance and notice that your fluid is dark or has a burnt smell, we recommend not servicing it. While it might seem like the right step, replacing fluid in a neglected transmission can stir up debris and lead to sudden failure. This is why routine maintenance is so critical—catching issues early is always easier (and cheaper) than addressing them later.

If you’re unsure whether your transmission is ready for a service, don’t guess—reach out to our team for advice. We’re happy to help.
