Keep Your Truck Shifting Smoothly: How to Clean a Reusable Transmission Filter
Tyler SpanglerCleaning your reusable transmission filter is crucial for maintaining your truck’s transmission health. Over time, contaminants trapped in the filter can restrict fluid flow, leading to issues such as rough shifting, slipping gears, overheating, and reduced fuel economy. To effectively clean the filter, first prioritize safety by wearing glasses and gloves. Then, drain the transmission fluid into a pan, remove the filter housing, and clean the filter using a recommended transmission cleaner. Inspect the filter for damage and ensure it's thoroughly dry before reinstalling it. Refill your transmission with high-quality fluid and run the engine to circulate the new fluid. Regularly check the fluid’s condition and consult your truck's manual for specific instructions. For expert help, consider reaching out to specialists like Truck Transmission Specialists (TTS).
