Volkswagen Transmission Fluid Exchange in Houston, TX

Your vehicle’s transmission is one of its most essential parts. It takes power from the engine and delivers it to the wheels. This allows your vehicle to shift gears when necessary. If your transmission is going to function correctly, you need to make sure that there is an adequate amount of transmission fluid in the transmission. Not only does the transmission fluid act as a lubricant, but it also cools the transmission, and it helps the gears shift easily. If you want your transmission to perform the way it should, regular transmission fluid exchanges are essential.

What Is a Transmission Fluid Exchange?

During a transmission fluid exchange, your mechanic will drain all of the old transmission fluid from your transmission and replace it with fresh OEM Volkswagen transmission fluid.

Why Do I Need To Exchange My Transmission Fluid?

Over time, dirt, debris, metal, and other particles can build up in your transmission fluid. When this happens, it causes the fluid to degrade, making it difficult to do its job.
When you have a transmission fluid exchange performed, the old degraded fluid will be replaced with clean fluid free of debris. Clean transmission fluid is essential in keeping the inner parts of the transmission lubricated and allowing the gears to shift easily. If you don’t have your transmission fluid exchanged regularly, it will cause issues with your vehicle. These include:

• Trouble shifting
• Erratic transmission behavior
• Slipping transmission
• Vehicle overheating

How Often Should I Have a Transmission Fluid Exchange Performed?

We recommend that you have a transmission fluid exchanged performed every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. If you use your vehicle for towing or if most of your driving is done in the city, you should have it done more often. These conditions require your vehicle to shift more frequently, causing the transmission fluid to degrade faster.
