When to Replace your Transmission Parts

To maintain the health of your 2015 Lincoln model, you need to take proper care of its transmission or otherwise you could be looking at an expensive repair bill for all of the damage that results. To stay on top of the health of your transmission, it's best to know and recognize the warning signs of any problems so you know when it's time to replace your transmission parts.
 

Norm Reeves Lincoln wants to make sure drivers around Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Downey have as much information regarding their transmission as possible. Read on to learn the signs of an improperly working transmission.
 

Transmission Fluid Needs to Be Replaced

Like your oil, the life of your transmission fluid is finite, which means the fluid needs to be changed regularly. Even if there's nothing wrong with your transmission, changing the fluid is a good way to ensure all of the moving parts are being lubricated properly.
 

 

At the Norm Reeves Lincoln service center, we call this a transmission flush, and it will help your car run better, faster, and longer. Having a scheduled transmission flush will put you at ease, since this service takes preventive measures to stop any problems with your transmission.
 

It's beneficial to have your transmission flushed once every two years or 30,000 miles. This is a speculative schedule and a more definite routine that's specific to your 2015 Lincoln model can be found in your owner's manual.
 

Warning Signs of Transmission Problems

The parts of your transmission are exposed to massive amounts of heat and friction, making it easy for problems to occur. There are several signs to look for that denote transmission problems, such as the following:

  • Transmission shifting delays

  • Transmission grinding during acceleration

  • Shaking when driving at any speed

  • Burning smell coming from under your hood

  • Fluid visibly leaking from vehicle

  • Clunking or screeching sounds when driving and shifting

  • Manual transmission gear shifter is hard to move or won't move at all

These issues are easy to spot when you're driving, but they could be the result of a number of different problems with your transmission, including old transmission fluid, worn gears or clutch, or failed needle roller bearings. To properly identify the problem, your best bet is to have a professional from the Norm Reeves Lincoln service team check out your transmission
