IS IT BETTER TO REPAIR OR REPLACE A TRANSMISSION?

Repairing a transmission is often less costly and can be viable if the damage is minor or your vehicle is relatively new. A repair can address specific issues without needing a complete overhaul, thus saving time and money.

However, replacing the transmission might be a more cost-effective and reliable long-term solution if the transmission has extensive damage or if the vehicle has high mileage. Replacing the transmission can ensure that all potential issues are addressed and provide a fresh start with fewer chances of future problems.

HOW MANY YEARS DO TRANSMISSION FLUIDS LAST?

Transmission fluid can last 30,000 to 60,000 miles, typically about 3 to 5 years of regular driving. However, the exact lifespan of transmission fluid can vary based on the type of fluid used, driving conditions, and your vehicle’s make and model. Regularly checking your transmission fluid and following your vehicle’s maintenance schedule can help ensure your transmission system's optimal performance and longevity.
