Q: How frequently should my transmission's fluid be changed?


A: Many modern cars can go for an initial 100,000 miles before needing a transmission fluid flush but many manuals recommend changing your transmission fluid every 30,000 to 50,000 miles for manual transmission and 60,000 to 100,000 miles for automatic transmission vehicles.

Q: How often should I service my transmission?


A: Your transmission should be serviced every 20,000 miles depending on what type of transmission you have and your driving habits. However, at AAMCO Utah we go the extra mile to ensure that your transmission is taken care of.

Q: My transmission is acting up. Do I need a new one?


A: In many cases, this is could be a case of low fluid levels. However, if you notice your transmission timing synchronization in between gears is off, we recommend that you get an inspection and a diagnostic as soon as possible to figure out what is truly wrong with your transmission.
