Like any component of your Chrysler, Dodge, or Ram vehicle, your transmission needs attention now and then to make sure that it's working properly. Though your transmission might not be as needy as other vehicle components when it comes to service frequency, it pays to keep a close eye on it and be sure to schedule transmission service when needed to help ensure smooth performance and fewer costly repairs. Luckily, our Mopar service center is here to help.

How often should I schedule transmission service?

We recommend scheduling transmission checks around when you would normally get an oil change. Regular checkups are often the key to uncovering potential issues before they get worse. Our team can inspect your transmission and check your transmission fluid to make sure that your transmission is in good shape.

Depending on your driving habits, your car might also need a transmission fluid change sometime between the 30,000- and 100,000-mile marks. Transmission fluid deteriorates as time goes on, so providing your car with a fresh supply might be in order to keep everything performing well.

How do I know if my transmission needs service?

If your transmission is overdue for maintenance, you might encounter a variety of warning signs that you should schedule an appointment with our service team. Be sure to contact us for a service appointment if you experience any of the following:

• Your car takes an unusually long time to switch into drive and actually engage
• Transmission fluid leakage
• Transmission feels like it switches gears for no apparent reason
• Gear-shifting feels rough or clunky

Please feel free to connect with us if you have any transmission questions or concerns. Our service team can provide more answers and help you keep your transmission in tip-top shape.
