Transmission System Service at Calgary Hyundai
Transmission is a key system that delivers power from the engine to the wheels. Automatic transmissions, like those in most modern Hyundais, use complex systems to adapt to driving conditions, which shifts gears to balance speed and torque to help you stay drive on the road. But over time, extreme weather or friction can degrade transmission fluid, which wears down components. Fortunately, Calgary Hyundai is here to keep this important system running optimally. Read on with our team at Calgary Hyundai to learn why regular transmission maintenance is important.
Why Do You Need Transmission System Maintenance?
How Often Should You Get Your Transmission System Inspected?
Hyundai recommends a full transmission inspection every 96,000 km. But depending on your driving habits or road condition, the timeframe may change. In these cases, we advise an inspection sooner if you:
- Tow trailers, boats or campers
- Frequently drive in heavy traffic or bad road conditions.
- Encounter extreme temperature
- Notice some signs like delayed shifting
Your owner’s manual outlines model-specific guidelines, but if you’re still unsure, stop by our service shop. Our technicians will assess your vehicle’s history and conduct a comprehensive inspection to determine whether action is needed.
Signs Your Vehicle Needs a Transmission Service
We all know the transmission is important, but most people don’t fully understand how it works or how its internal components coordinate. These red flags help you identify when your Hyundai needs service.
- Shifting Delays: Hesitation when accelerating, or RPM spikes without a corresponding speed increase.
- Check Engine Lights On: A check engine light doesn’t always indicate transmission failure, but it turns on if the transmission has issues.
- Weird Noises: Your car is clearing its throat when you hear grinding during shifts. It means you should get it inspected soon.
- Burning Smell: A clear sign it’s time for service.
- Leaking Fluid: Transmission fluid leaks are critical to address immediately.
