Keep Your Truck Rolling: A Simple Guide to Inspecting Transmission for Leaks and Damage
Tyler SpanglerInspecting your truck's transmission for leaks or damage is crucial for maintaining a smooth ride. Begin by parking on a level surface with the parking brake engaged and allow your truck to cool for at least 30 minutes. Gather necessary tools like a flashlight, gloves, and your owner's manual, and use a creeper for easier access. Conduct a visual inspection focusing on the transmission housing, seals, pan gaskets, and fluid lines for any leaks or loose bolts, and check hoses for any signs of wear or damage. For the fluid check, use the dipstick or fill plug to examine the transmission fluid, ensuring it is clear or reddish and free of burnt smells. If you detect any issues, consult a qualified mechanic for further assessment. TTS experts are available to provide tailored advice and services, ensuring your transmission is in top condition.
