Do I Need to Schedule Transmission Service?

Where Can I Find Transmission Service in Pinellas Park?

Need a Honda transmission repair for your car? After all, there’s no denying your gearbox is one of (if not THE) most important components of your vehicle’s drivetrain since this part helps your Honda Ridgeline tow big loads, assists your Honda Civic Type R in blasting off to track-tiered speeds, and even helping models like the Honda Odyssey and CR-V cruise at a smooth pace.

Thus, at the first signs of problems, you’ll want to schedule transmission service ASAP, otherwise, the prolonged damage could lead to your vehicle becoming undrivable. Not to worry though, as we’re here to help with all your Honda repair needs—get started today by visiting the Crown Honda website and scheduling your Honda Transmission repair in Pinellas Park.

How Do I Know I Need a Transmission Repair?

Before scheduling a full repair, you’ll want to check if your transmission is the culprit for your auto issues—so start by checking for a slipping clutch, which could involve feeling like your gears are changing for no reason, or you’ll hear your engine start revving, yet you’ll struggle to change gears—upon noticing a slipping clutch, you’ll want to schedule service. Also, are you having issues shifting gears? In a CVT or automatic gearbox, you’ll feel like your Honda vehicle delays shifting gears when needed (which leads to a loud revving sound and feel); meanwhile, with a manual transmission, you’ll feel a sticky sensation, almost like your shifter doesn’t want to leave your current gear/enter a new gear.

As you cruise, also pay attention to strange odors—if you smell something burning, there’s a chance your transmission fluids are too low or that you’ve burned your clutch from over-revving—again, we can take a look to let you know if your gearbox is to blame (or at risk off more damage). Also, check under your Honda model for red fluid, as this is also a sign of a fluid leak and needs an instant repair.

Should I Get My Transmission Fluid Flushed?

Periodically, you’ll want to flush your transmission fluids, even if you don’t notice any of the above issues since this service eliminates sludge from your gearbox and drivetrain system. Also, you’ll buffer your seals and help boost your transmission life while assisting in removing a sticky feeling from your shifting, and even helping end a slipping clutch. Also, since a fluid flush will help you avoid many transmission issues that occur over time, you’ll ultimately save money and time on future repairs since you reduce the odds of your gearbox burning out on you at an inopportune moment.

How Often Should I Schedule Transmission Service?

For your transmission fluid drain, you’ll want to perform this Honda service roughly every 60,000 miles, as this helps remove nasty particles and contaminants from your drivetrain that build up over time. However, for general transmission service, you won’t need to schedule a periodic replacement or anything serious unless you spot the typical symptoms of a damaged gearbox.
