The function of an automobile's transmission involves transmitting power from the engine to the wheels that move the vehicle. Your vehicle’s transmission experiences the same wear and tear and requires routine maintenance. Routine and proper maintenance will lengthen the lifespan of your vehicle’s transmission, and ultimately your car itself.

Whether your car’s transmission is manual or automatic, both require transmission fluid. Transmission fluid, which may be a special automatic transmission fluid (ATF) or any one of a variety of motor oils, serves several essential purposes.
In both a manual transmission and in an automatic transmission, the transmission fluid serves to lubricate the transmission's many moving parts. In an automatic transmission, the transmission fluid also serves as a coolant, and as a viscous medium through which mechanical power is transferred.
Though it does not have to be changed as often as engine oil, transmission fluid should be replaced every 20,000 to 50,000 miles for manual, and 40,000 to 80,000 miles for an automatic.
In addition to helping you with transmission fluid replacement, Retro Lube will perform inspections and tests to ensure there are not dust and debris particles within it that can lead to transmission failure.
