Everyone has heard the saying, “If you can’t find ‘em, grind ‘em!” at some point in their lives.  This, of course, refers to shifting a manual transmission.  If you can’t find the gears, just grind them until the transmission goes into the proper gear.  Automatic transmissions have alleviated much of this wear and tear on your car’s gears, though.  To ensure your transmission stays in proper working order, a Tucson transmission flush may be in order.

A transmission flush can be done in one of two main ways.  Your mechanic can recycle fluids through the cooling line without removing the transmission pan.  This procedure is faster and less expensive, but could miss problems, especially on older model vehicles.  The second procedure involves your mechanic dropping the transmission pan.  This process takes slightly longer and may have a larger investment, but is helpful in finding things like metal shavings in the transmission fluid or discolored or burnt transmission fluid.  These may be signs of a more serious concern that can be corrected with a Tucson car tune up before you’re left stranded.

Either way, your mechanic can tell you, based on your vehicle’s make, model, and age, which procedure is best for you.
