Published on: 24/10/2024

A transmission leak in your truck is a serious issue that requires immediate attention. Begin by performing a visual inspection—park on a level surface, set the parking brake, and check for drips, puddles, or stains around the transmission pan gasket, lines, cooler, vent tube, and seals. Symptoms like slipping gears, a burning smell, and low transmission fluid levels can also indicate a problem. If you detect a leak, it is advisable to consult a qualified specialist, such as Truck Transmission Specialists (TTS), for professional repair to prevent further damage. TTS is experienced in diagnosing and fixing transmission issues for Ford, Dodge, GMC, and Chevy trucks. Always seek professional advice for transmission repairs.

Truck owners, don't let transmission troubles sideline your ride! At Truck Transmission Specialists, with over 18 years of experience, we've tackled countless transmission issues and have seen a surge in questions about transmission additives recently. While these additives may offer temporary benefits like smoother shifting and reduced wear, they're not a cure-all and can even cause harm if used improperly. Additives are akin to vitamins – helpful for a generally healthy system but ineffective for masking serious issues like slipping gears or rough shifting. For real, lasting solutions, it's crucial to address the root problem rather than just the symptoms. If your transmission is acting up, skip the additives and consult the experts for a thorough diagnosis and proper repair. Reach out to Truck Transmission Specialists and ensure your truck gets the professional care it deserves. Visit prebuilttrans.com to schedule an appointment today.

Transmission additives can be useful in reducing wear and addressing specific issues like shuddering or slipping, but they are not a cure-all for a failing transmission. Before using any additive, it's crucial to have your transmission diagnosed by a professional and consult your owner’s manual for recommendations. Proper maintenance is key to prolonging your transmission’s life, including regular fluid and filter changes, using the correct transmission fluid, and conducting routine inspections. Keep an eye on fluid levels, avoid overheating, drive gently, use appropriate gears, park on level surfaces, and heed any warning signs from your vehicle to prevent major issues. Truck Transmission Specialists offer expert services for routine maintenance or transmission rebuilds to ensure your truck runs smoothly for years.
