Luke from Truck Transmission Specialists emphasizes the importance of regular maintenance for truck transmissions, recommending fluid changes for automatic transmissions every 30,000 to 60,000 miles under normal conditions and 15,000 to 30,000 miles under strenuous conditions, while manual transmissions should have fluid changes every 50,000 to 100,000 miles. He warns about the dangers of clogged transmission lines which can cause overheating, reduced lubrication, rough shifting, decreased fuel efficiency, and costly repairs. Preventative measures include regular fluid changes, visual inspections, and using high-quality fluids and filters. Luke also advises meticulous documentation of all transmission services to support warranty claims and enhance resale value.

Experiencing a transmission fluid leak in your truck can be concerning, but understanding the issue and knowing the steps to take can help you manage it effectively. The rear output seal, which connects the driveshaft to the transmission, is often the cause, as it can wear out, crack, or tear. Other causes might include damage to the seal housing or incorrect seal installation. Start troubleshooting by visually inspecting the suspected leak area and checking the transmission fluid level. While adding fluid might be a temporary fix, consulting a professional mechanic is essential for a proper diagnosis and repair. Replacing the rear output seal often requires specialized tools and expertise, making professional assistance a safer choice. Ignoring the leak can result in severe and costly transmission damage, so address it promptly.
