Expert Aston Martin Transmission Fluid Replacement Service

At The Car Lab Auto Repair Center, we understand the significance of maintaining your Aston Martin’s transmission for optimal performance. Changing the transmission fluid is often recommended to maintain high performance, avoid gear slippage, and avoid costly repairs. Our certified mechanics are proficient in handling Aston Martin cars and deliver precise transmission fluid replacement solutions. Here is a thorough explanation of our complete process to guarantee your Aston Martin maintains optimal performance.

Initial Consultation: Upon your first visit, we begin with a detailed consultation to assess your Aston Martin’s transmission performance. We gather any relevant information about issues you’ve noticed, such as strange noises, gear slipping, or hesitation during shifting. We also discuss the car’s service history, particularly focusing on previous transmission maintenance, which helps us pinpoint any underlying problems that could affect the fluid replacement process.

Pre-Service Inspection: Our technicians thoroughly inspect your Aston Martin transmission system before beginning fluid replacement. We look for any indications of leakage or worn-out or damaged parts like the gearbox, gaskets, and seals. Through the transmission dipstick or the fill plug we determine the level, color, smell and texture of the current fluid.

Transmission Fluid Drain: The next step is to drain the previous fluid. We take out the drain plug, and let it drain into another clean drain pan. During this process, we closely inspect the drained fluid for any metal particles, debris, or sludge that may indicate internal transmission issues. We also clean the transmission pan thoroughly to remove any contaminants before reinstalling, ensuring your system is free of residue that could affect performance.

Filter Replacement: We replace the old transmission filter once the fluid is drained. This filter is important in filtering out impurities that could otherwise circulate in your Aston Martin’s transmission system. Our technicians look for dirt or wear on the filter and ensure the surrounding components are adequately clean before installing a new filter. This step ensures that the new transmission fluid remains clean and effective.

Gasket Replacement: A transmission gasket can wear out, leaking transmission fluid. Thus, we unbolt the old gasket from the pan and the mounting surface to eliminate leakages and wash both areas thoroughly. We use a gasket scraper to clean the surface if any residue remains. A new gasket is then put in place to ensure a tight and well-secured grip. Sometimes, we use a thin layer of gasket sealant as per manufacturer guidelines.

Reassembly and Refill: After the transmission pan and gasket are reinstalled, we refill your Aston Martin’s transmission with the appropriate type and amount of fluid specified by the manufacturer. Using precise measurements, we ensure the fluid level is optimal. After the refill, we recheck the fluid level and adjust, if necessary.

Final Inspection and Test Drive: To conclude the service, we conduct a test drive to assess the performance of your Aston Martin’s transmission. We monitor gear shifting, fluid pressure, and responsiveness to ensure everything works smoothly. Post-test, we recheck the transmission fluid level and inspect the system for any signs of leakage. Once the inspection is complete, we record all the service details, including the type and quantity of fluid used, any parts replaced, and findings during the procedure.
