<h2><strong>Standard Transmission Service </strong></h2>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Most vehicles benefit from a standard transmission service every 60,000 to 100,000

miles. If you drive in severe conditions — such as frequent stop-and-go traffic or during extreme hot or cold

weather — you’ll need a transmission service every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. Standard transmission service is a

multi-step process that involves replacing transmission fluid and other easily worn-out components, such as filters.

Our technicians follow up with a comprehensive inspection and diagnostic test to ensure your transmission is working

correctly after every service. </span>

<h2><strong>Common Signs of Transmission Issues </strong></h2>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">You’ll know your vehicle needs transmission service or transmission repairs if you

experience any of these common issues: </span>

<ul>

<li aria-level="1"><b>Shifting problems: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Your transmission takes longer to shift

gears, shifts roughly, or slips unexpectedly while driving. </span></li>

</ul>

<ul>

<li aria-level="1"><b>Fluid leaks: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">You notice red or pink puddles beneath your

car when it is parked. This could indicate transmission fluid leaking through worn seals. </span></li>

</ul>

<ul>

<li aria-level="1"><b>Smell: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">A burning smell, such as a sweet or acrid odor,

while driving, could indicate that your transmission fluid is breaking down or overheating. </span></li>

</ul>

<ul>

<li aria-level="1"><b>Noise: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Whining or grinding sounds when shifting gears, or

excessive noise when in neutral, suggest worn transmission parts that require attention. </span></li>

</ul>

<ul>

<li aria-level="1"><b>Extended warm-up times: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Your transmission requires several

minutes of idling before it will engage, especially in cold weather. </span></li>

<li aria-level="1"><b>Delayed engagement in cold weather: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cold weather can

thicken transmission fluid, resulting in a sluggish response when shifting into drive or reverse. </span>

</li>

<h2><strong>Frequently Asked Questions</strong></h2>

<h4><b>1. How much does transmission service cost? </b></h4>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">A basic transmission service typically costs between $150 and $300, depending on the

type of transmission and your specific service requirements. That’s a small percentage of what a major repair would

cost. Major transmission repairs range from $1,500 to over $4,000. That's why we encourage our customers to receive

regular transmission service to prevent more significant transmission problems in the future. </span>

<h4><b>2. How often should I get my transmission serviced? </b></h4>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Most vehicles benefit from a regular transmission service every 60,000 to 100,000 miles.

For most drivers, that’s about every three years. If you drive in strenuous conditions (such as Wisconsin winters),

regularly haul heavy equipment, or frequently experience stop-and-go traffic, transmission service every 30,000 to

60,000 miles makes more sense. Schedule your transmission service </span><span

style="text-decoration: underline; color: #333399;"><a style="color: #333399;"

href="https://www.griffinford.com/Service-Appointment/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">directly through our

website</span></a></span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> or contact our service center by phone. </span>

<h4><strong>3. Does regular service actually reduce the chance of future transmission problems?</strong></h4>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Yes, regular transmission service can significantly reduce the chances of future

transmission damage. Regular transmission service prevents the degradation of transmission fluid</span> <span

style="font-weight: 400;">and other transmission components, such as seals and gaskets. It is not a guarantee

against all future transmission problems, but regularly servicing your transmission can dramatically reduce the

chance of developing a more serious issue. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Over the past 60 years, Griffin Ford has serviced thousands of transmissions in the

Waukesha area. We have consistently seen vehicles with a regular transmission service history driving well beyond

200,000 miles, while neglected vehicles may fail at 80,000 to 120,000 miles. </span>

<h4><b>4. My transmission is acting up; how long can I wait to get it serviced? </b></h4>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Transmission problems almost always get worse when ignored. Issues such as delayed

shifting, slipping, or unusual noises indicate internal wear that is not visible to the naked eye. What could be a

$300 fluid service today can easily become a $3,000 transmission rebuild next month if you neglect it. We recommend

scheduling </span><a href="https://www.griffinford.com/Service-Appointment/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">a

diagnostic</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> visit as soon as you suspect any issues with your

transmission. </span>

<h4><b>5. My high-mileage vehicle is having transmission problems; is a repair worth it? </b></h4>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Regular transmission maintenance is a great way to extend the life of high-mileage and

older vehicles. But whether you should repair or replace a high-mileage vehicle depends on more than your vehicle's

mileage. Vehicle age and overall condition should also influence your decision. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Whatever your vehicle’s condition, our technicians will provide an honest assessment of

whether repair makes financial sense for you. Generally, if your Ford is less than 10 years old or has fewer than

150,000 miles, transmission service or repair is a worthwhile investment. </span>
