Tailored Servicing for Peak Performance
Automatic transmission servicing isn’t a one-size-fits-all job. Depending on your vehicle type, usage and transmission style (auto, CVT, dual-clutch etc.), the service requirements can vary significantly. At Burko Transmissions, we assess the condition of the transmission oil, check for contaminants, examine filters and gaskets and monitor the shifting response during a test drive.
If needed, we perform a full flush or internal inspection to ensure no underlying issues are missed. For commercial or performance vehicles, we also offer more frequent service intervals to keep up with heavy loads or high-power output.
- Servicing for automatic, CVT & performance transmissions
- Fluid flushes & filter checks
- Preventative maintenance plans available
No two cars are the same, and neither are their service needs. Let us help you avoid transmission trouble and keep your vehicle running optimally.
How often should a transmission be serviced?
The ideal interval depends on your vehicle and how it’s used. For most cars, transmission service is recommended every 40,000km. However, if you regularly tow heavy loads, drive in hilly conditions or operate a high-performance vehicle, more frequent servicing may be needed. It’s best to follow your manufacturer’s guidelines and consult a technician who can assess your specific driving habits.
Can dirty transmission fluid cause damage?
Yes. Over time, transmission fluid degrades and picks up contaminants from normal wear and tear. If left unchanged, dirty fluid can cause slipping, overheating or even complete transmission failure. Regular servicing removes these contaminants and helps maintain proper fluid pressure and lubrication, which are essential for smooth shifting and long-term reliability.
What are the signs that my transmission fluid needs to be changed?
Common signs include rough or delayed shifting, transmission slipping, strange smells (like burning) or a dark or murky fluid appearance on the dipstick. You might also notice noises during gear changes or a drop in fuel efficiency. These symptoms often indicate that the fluid has broken down or become contaminated—and changing it could prevent bigger problems from developing.
What is involved in a transmission service?
This involves draining the old transmission fluid from the pan and replacing it with new fluid. The transmission filter and pan gasket will be replaced.
Also typically, only 60-80% of the total fluid is changed since the rest remains in the torque converter and other components.
Pros:
- Safer for high-mileage or older transmissions.
- Lower cost than a full flush.
Cons:
- Doesn't remove all the old fluid.
What is a transmission fluid flush?
A machine is used to force out all the old transmission fluid and replace it with new fluid, often while the engine is running. Typically replaces 95-100% of the old fluid.
Pros:
- More through fluid exchange.
- Better for newer or well-maintained transmissions.
Cons:
- More expensive.
