Does My Napleton Northlake Chrysler Jeep Dodge or Ram Need A Transmission Flush
Does My Northlake Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep Or Ram Need A Transmission Flush?
Your new Northlake Chrysler, next to purchasing a home is probably one of the biggest investments you will ever make. You know about your Chrysler's reliability, but want to make sure it continues to operate that way. Your Dad, and his Dad before him, probably used to get their transmissions flushed regularly after a certain amount of mileage. With today's modern, sealed transmissions like those found on your Chrysler 300, and Pacifica, such service is a thing of the past. Your Napleton Northlake service department is expertly-equipped to service all your Chrysler Transmission needs.
Things have come a long way since the advent of the automobile. Hand cranks gave way to electric starters, which were supplemented by manual transmissions that the driver would shift in order to get their vehicle to move. Where the vehicle was moving to was another question, requiring "arm-strong" steering with the driver's unassisted arms turning the wheel without the benefit of power steering. Brakes improved as well, going from leather straps that would attempt to slow down a vehicle's axle to the modern ceramic pads and rotors seen on today's ultra high-performance vehicles.
Finally, transmissions got their turn in the spotlight, going from the crude hand-shifted affairs from days-gone-by to push buttons on the dashboard to "three on the tree," and four, five, and six-speeds on the floor. Although manual transmissions are still the preferred choice of enthusiast drivers, computer controlled automatic/manual (manumatic?) gearboxes have found their way in today's modern Northlake Chrysler, Jeep, Ram and Dodge automobiles. Regardless of how tech- filled they became, they still needed periodic maintenance. A flush used to be the yearly ritual based on your driving styles and habits. That was then, read on for the "this is now" portion of the story.
* Indicates a required field
A transmission fluid flush is a high-pressure cleaning of the inside of
your gearbox. In olden days, mechanics didn't realize that high-pressure
anything going through the transmission was almost guaranteed to loosen
debris that may have laid dormant for years. Inevitably, some debris
was left behind to help gum up the works-or worse.Â
Transmission design
and manufacturing has become so efficient in recent times that the only
maintenance required on your Northlake Dodge, Chrysler, Ram and Jeep vehicles these days is a transmission fluid replacement at
around 100,000-miles. Rear and All-Wheel-Drive equipped vehicles have
axle fluid inspections scheduled at the 50,000- and 100,000 mile marks.
If your car, truck or SUV is subjected to severe duty, please call for
an inspection. That's why the experts at Northlake's CDJR
service center recommend bringing it in for a fluid check. Napleton CDJR
is expertly equipped for any transmission circumstance that may occur.
Throughout
the life of your Northlake Chrysler, you most likely will only have a
need to replace the transmission fluid once. Bring it to the experts at Northlake Ram, Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep. Please consult your Northlake Chrysler Owner's Manual for more information.
