Protect Your Transmission — Improve Performance & Longevity

Your vehicle’s transmission is one of the most important and complex components under the hood. It transfers power from your engine to the wheels and allows you to shift gears smoothly — whether you’re accelerating, slowing down, hauling cargo, or cruising on the highway. Like engine oil, transmission fluid plays a vital role in keeping this system cool, lubricated, and operating efficiently. Over time, transmission fluid breaks down and becomes less effective — leading to wear, slipping gears, overheating, and potentially costly repairs.

At Complete Automotive Services (CAS) in Austin, MN, we provide comprehensive transmission service that helps protect your vehicle, extend transmission life, and keep your drives smooth and dependable.

Why Transmission Service Matters

Transmission fluid isn’t just another fluid — it’s the lifeblood of your transmission. Its job includes:

  • Lubricating gears and internal parts to reduce friction

  • Cooling the transmission to prevent overheating

  • Supporting smooth gear changes and proper hydraulic pressure

  • Protecting against wear and gear slippage

Over time, heat and pressure degrade transmission fluid, reducing its ability to do these essential jobs. When fluid becomes contaminated, old, or low, your transmission has to work harder — and that can lead to premature wear or even failure.

Regular transmission service helps ensure this critical system stays clean, cool, and effective — saving you money on future repairs and keeping your vehicle’s performance at its best.

Common Signs Your Transmission Needs Attention

You don’t always need a dashboard warning light to know something’s wrong. Common transmission issues often start with subtle symptoms you may notice while driving:

  • Delayed or rough shifts between gears

  • Slipping gears or hesitation during acceleration

  • Unusual noises like whining, humming, or grinding

  • Transmission fluid leaks (red or brown fluid under the vehicle)

  • Burning smell from the engine bay or transmission area

  • Check Engine or transmission warning light on the dash

These symptoms can point to fluid problems, worn components, or other transmission issues — and catching them early can prevent more serious damage.

When to Schedule Transmission Service
