Vehicle Service 101: Chrysler Transmission Service

When it comes to Chrysler transmission service, some drivers may be confused about what exactly the service entails. Transmission service is an important component of regular vehicle maintenance for your Chrysler car. Here’s our breakdown of what transmission service includes, and how often it should be performed. 

What Is Transmission Service?

Transmission service is an umbrella term for the various services provided by technicians with the intention of maintaining your vehicle’s transmission. Your vehicle’s transmission is an extremely complex component of your vehicle, and thus requires special attention during service visits.  

Transmission service can include services like transmission fluid refills and replacements, filter changes, replacing the transmission pan, and more. The types of services required vary depending on what kind of transmission your vehicle has.  

How Often Should It Be Performed?

Because your transmission plays such a vital role in your vehicle’s functioning, it is very important that it gets the attention it needs. Failure to have your transmission serviced can lead to some very costly repairs. 

If you drive a vehicle with a manual transmission, it is recommended that your transmission be serviced every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. If your vehicle utilizes an automatic transmission, then you should have your transmission examined every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. The exact period between transmission services varies depending on make and model, so be sure to consult your vehicle’s manual for a more exact answer.
