Your driveline carries power from the engine to the wheels: the automatic transmission, the transfer case on 4x4s, the driveshafts and the differentials. Each has its own fluid that wears out with heat and use. Regular service and early diagnosis keep small problems from turning into a replacement.
Signs it's time
- Slipping, delayed or harsh shifts
- 4x4 won't engage, or a 4x4 warning light is on
- Whining, howling or clunking from under the vehicle
- Red fluid leaking, or fluid that smells burnt
- Vibration that changes with speed
What we do
- Automatic transmission fluid and filter service
- Transfer case and differential fluid service
- Scan and road test to diagnose shifting problems
- Repair leaks, U-joints, axles, driveshafts and differentials
- Honest advice on repair versus replacement
Good to know
Towing and hauling heat up transmission fluid, and heat is what breaks it down. If you pull a trailer, boat or quads, follow the severe-service schedule for transmission and differential fluid.
