Ford Transmission Flush

A transmission flush is usually twice the price of a fluid change due to the fee of time the service takes and the fact that the flush not only replaces the fluid in the pan but also removes fluid from the cooler lines and extra elements of your transmission. A Ford transmission flush also uses about 10 quarts of fluid to completely clean and flush out the system.

How do you know if you need a Transmission Fluid Change or Transmission Flush?

A transmission flush is only vital if your system contains dirt or debris. If the fluid is highly dark or contains substitute sediments, we would recommend a complete system flush instead of just exchanging the fluid.

Ford Automatic vs Manual Transmission

Automatic and manual transmission will often require different fluids. Automatic transmission fluids are constantly thinner and are often red or green in color. Manual transmission fluid or gear oil is thicker due to additives and distinct compounds basic to lubricate the gearbox and distinct elements. Manual transmissions have a higher friction environment due to the way gears are changed, thus the lubricant is different.

Not only are the fluids different between manual and automatic transmissions but the level of heat the fluids experience is very different. Automatic transmissions generate a lot more heat and thus the fluid in your transmission must be interchanged more regularly. If you don't change your Ford transmission fluid, your transmission will have broken metal shavings and diverse corrosive material spread throughout the vital components of your Ford. You should regularly check the fluid levels between your fluid and transmission flush service intervals. In many cases, manual transmissions don't come equipped with a dipstick to check your fluid levels, so it can be extremely difficult to do. Call or visit David McDavid Ford for more information if your transmission doesn't contain a dipstick.
