Bayside Automatic Transmissions FAQ.
Why is regular transmission servicing is essential ?
- The special transmission oil that must be used has additives that become less effective with age, reducing special lubrication, antifoaming, and heat transferring properties.
- As the bands, clutches and gears wear they produce debris, for example, on the braking system the brake friction material falls away onto the ground, but in a transmission it is re-circulated with the oil as it can’t get away. This eventually accumulates in the filter, blocking the filter causing transmission failure.
- The transmission solenoids magnetic attraction to the metal particles in the oil causes the solenoid to wear, becoming sticky and seal badly. This affects the oil pressure to the clutches and bands, resulting in sloppy or rough shifts and/or causing transmission failure.
