Expert Jeep Transmission Fluid Replacement Service

As a Jeep owner, you will find that The Car Lab Auto Repair Center cares about the longevity of your vehicle’s transmission system. The fluid must be replaced consistently for optimal Jeep performance, avoiding future transmission problems and increasing longevity. The technicians employed in our service center understand how to replace Jeep’s transmission fluid effectively and efficiently. Below is an overview of our comprehensive process for Jeep transmission fluid replacement: 

Initial Consultation: During your visit, we will gather in-depth details regarding any transmission problems you may have observed in your Jeep, including strange sounds, gear problems, or delayed gear changes. We evaluate the frequency of these issues and the conditions in which they arise. We will also examine your vehicle’s service record, especially any past transmission maintenance, to identify any potential issues that should be resolved prior to changing the fluid.

Pre-Service Inspection: Our experts thoroughly examine your Jeep’s transmission system’s gearbox, gaskets, and seals. Using a dipstick or fill plug, we also evaluate the current state of the transmission fluid by inspecting its level, color, smell, and consistency. This pre-service evaluation provides us with essential details to guarantee that the transmission fluid change has the intended outcome on your vehicle’s performance.

Transmission Fluid Drain: We have to remove the transmission drain plug to catch the old fluid. While the fluid is being drained, we look at the transmission pan for debris or metal shavings that suggest internal problems. The pan is cleaned before reinstallation, and any concerns are noted. 

Filter Replacement: Our next step involves removing the old transmission filter, which helps remove any remaining contaminants from the system. We thoroughly inspect the filter for signs of dirt or metal particles, ensuring no harmful debris remains in your Jeep’s transmission. The filter housing and nearby components are cleaned, and a new filter is installed to keep your transmission operating smoothly.

Gasket Replacement: In this stage, we remove the old gasket from the transmission pan and mounting surface to avoid future leakage. Before the new gasket is fitted, the gasket surface is thoroughly rubbed to ensure a perfect fit. If necessary, a gasket scraper is used to remove stubborn residues. In cases where the manufacturer recommends it, we apply a thin layer of gasket sealant for additional protection before reinstalling the pan.

Reassemble and Refill: Once the gasket and filter are securely placed, we reassemble the transmission system by carefully reattaching the pan. The fluid level also increases as we make sure the bolts are tightened in a particular sequence to avoid any fluid loss. We then fill the transmission with the type and quantity of fluid recommended by your Jeep’s manufacturers for your car’s version. After refilling, we visually inspect the fluid level and add more fluid as needed to reach the optimal level.

Final Inspection and Test Drive: After the replacement, we conduct a test drive to ensure smooth shifting and proper transmission function. We also double-check the fluid level and inspect for any leaks. All service details, including fluid type and filter changes, are recorded for your reference.
