ATF flushing
AUTOMATIC GEARBOX FLUSHING
Some manufacturers such as BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Volkswagen consider their automatic transmission fluid to be "lifetime oil"
and state the original fluid will last the life of the transmission.
Unfortunately even the best specification oils degrade over time and most modern automatic transmissions now require a
fluid exchange service every three years, or 30,000 miles.
In a traditional automatic transmission fluid change, the technician drains the old fluid, replaces the filter and refills the system.
While faster and cheaper, only 45% - 60% of the oil will be drained, the remainder will be left in the torque converter,
cooler lines, valve body and components.
Here at Elite Auto Tuning NI we have an automatic transmission flush (ATF) and fill machine. By using a detergent based cleaning cycle,
the ATF machine changes 99.9% of the transmission fluid.
BENEFITS
High exchange rate of up to 99.9% compared to only 45% - 60% with a classic drain and fill
No mixing of old and new fluid
Recommended when changing ATF of automatic gearboxes or when experiencing shifting problems,
fluctuating RPM or not retaining the correct gear
Recommended for all types of cars with automatic transmission
PROBLEMS SOLVED AND AVOIDED
A regular transmission fluid change can help avoid or solve common automatic transmission problems:
Transmission jerking, or it becomes hard to shift gears
Not be able to go into gear or slipping out of gear
Delayed engagement (especially when the engine is cold)
Torque converter issues (rpm needle fluctuates whilst driving at a steady speed)
The typical price range for a transmission flush is £200 to £400. The exact price will vary depending on the
make and model of the vehicle and the volume of transmission fluid.
