Importance of a Healthy Transmission

If you’ve been around the block a few times as a car owner, you know the importance of routine maintenance and upkeep. Not only does it keep you, your passengers and other drivers around you safer on the road, but it can also save you a lot of money. All too often, recommended maintenance is brushed off until it’s too late. Then, if you’re lucky, you’re stuck with only a big repair bill.

Among the most important things to stay on top of is that of your transmission. Be it a Kia manual transmission or automatic transmission, adhering to transmission service recommendations goes a long way toward fewer transmission issues or, even worse, a failing transmission.

Before you experience any Kia transmission problems, we hope you will check out the next few sections for a breakdown of all that’s involved with transmission service. If you then choose to be safe over sorry, schedule your maintenance with the Spitzer Kia Cleveland service center.

Transmission Repair and Restoration

When it comes to a problematic transmission, the choice is to either replace or rebuild. Since car transmissions are extremely complex, rebuilding means disassembling all parts, cleaning them and testing the functionality of each part.

A Kia transmission replacement is certainly the easier route to take, but is – at least initially – going to cost you more money than rebuilding. The reason for that is because a new transmission will greatly decrease the odds of anything going wrong with it for quite some time. In the long run, you could very well end up saving money by having opted for a new transmission.

Kia Transmission Fluid Change and Filter Replacement

As it helps keep the components of your transmission lubricated, a periodic transmission fluid flush is integral to the overall health of your Kia. Since transmission fluid circulates through the transmission’s various parts in an effort to prevent wear and tear, it can inadvertently pick up dirt and metal debris over time.

While the owner’s manual for details on transmission fluid is a good way to familiarize yourself with its overall operation, periodically getting your transmission and fluid levels checked by the professionals at the Spitzer Kia Cleveland service center is good for your transmission system.

Some good news is that Kia automatic transmission fluid really doesn’t need to be closely checked or monitored. If your 2021 Kia or other make year is regularly subject to rugged or intense performance, check the fluid level checked every 60,000 miles. If there are issues before that, the “check engine light” should alert you.

Transmission filters, which catch pollutants, are also important to the well-being of your Kia’s transmission. But, be warned, filters for transmissions include multiple pieces and parts. Mastering six foreign languages may be an easier task than changing your own filter. For help changing your transmission filter, gasket, pickup tube or rubber seal every 30,000 – 50,000 miles, keep the Spitzer Kia Cleveland service center in mind.
