Chrysler Transmission Service: What You Need to Know

When you need Chrysler transmission service, you deserve only the best. Our experienced service team here at Bernard’s Northtown Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM is prepared to diagnose and fix your vehicle’s issues so that it runs as well as new. Let’s go through the basics of your vehicle’s transmission and transmission service so you can better understand your car.

Transmission Basics

Your Chrysler vehicle likely has an automatic transmission, which allows you to easily switch between gears and adjust your speed while driving. Transmissions are made of a few different components, including bell housing, gears, fluid, and a filter. For your car to run properly, each of these elements needs to be maintained correctly.

A regular transmission service includes:

  • Fluid level check
  • Transmission fluid replacement
  • Filter replacement
  • Parts replacement with genuine OEM parts

When Does My Transmission Need Service?

Typically, your transmission should receive regular service every 30,000 miles or every two years, whichever comes first. During this regular checkup, a Chrysler service technician will ensure your fluid levels look right and all parts are working correctly.

If you live in a climate with extreme weather conditions, as we do in Wisconsin, your transmission will likely need to be serviced more often. Look out for these warning signs to know when your transmission needs professional attention:

  • Leaking transmission fluid
  • Unusual odors
  • Rough idling
  • Trouble accelerating or shifting between gears
  • Slippage between gears
  • Illuminated “check engine” or transmission warning light

When you see any (or all) of the above signs, we recommend scheduling your service appointment or stopping by our dealership as soon as you can.
