Transmission Flush

 How a Transmission Flush Works

 Understanding the Transmission Flush Process

A transmission flush is an essential maintenance procedure for your vehicle's transmission system. It is typically carried out using specialized equipment that connects to the transmission cooler lines. This equipment may either operate using the transmission's built-in pump or include its own pump. During the process, old transmission fluid is expelled while new fluid is introduced simultaneously, ensuring all fluid is replaced at an equal rate.

 Steps Involved in a Transmission Flush

1. Connection: The system is hooked up to the transmission cooler lines.
2. Fluid Exchange: The old transmission fluid is pumped out, and new fluid is delivered in parallel.
3. Cleaning Solvent: Sometimes, a solvent is used to cleanse the transmission thoroughly. This solvent helps remove deposits from various parts and components. A technician may apply the solvent before beginning the flush.
4. Comprehensive Cleaning: The cooling lines, cooler, converter, and related parts are meticulously cleaned to remove all residues.

 Benefits of a Transmission Flush

- Complete Fluid Removal: Unlike a standard fluid change, a transmission flush removes all the old fluid, ensuring no old contaminants remain in the system.
- Prevents Contamination: By flushing out all residues, especially from the torque converter, the risk of new fluid contamination is minimized.
- Improved Performance: Thorough cleaning can enhance the lifespan and efficiency of the transmission system.

 Transmission Flush vs. Fluid Change

A transmission flush provides a more thorough cleaning than a typical fluid change. During a fluid change, only a portion of the fluid is replaced, leaving built-up deposits, particularly in the torque converter, which can affect the performance of the new fluid.
