TRANSMISSION SERVICES
Transmission fluid lubricates, cools and cleans internal transmission parts. Additives in the fluid can deplete over time and many manufacturers recommend that it be replaced periodically. Replacing your transmission fluid and filter according to your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations helps preserve the life of the transmission and helps maintain your vehicle warranty. Whether your vehicle has an automatic or manual transmission, your Jiffy Lube® technician can help you determine which if any is necessary for your vehicle based on your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations. Jiffy Lube offers four Transmission Services.

Manual Transmission Service
A transmission is a speed and power-changing device located between the engine and the driving wheels of a vehicle. It provides a means for changing the ratio between engine RPM and driving wheel RPM to meet each particular driving situation. Manual transmission fluid provides lubrication to gears, bearings, shafts, and other internal components. Heat, pressure and friction can slowly breakdown the additives in the manual transmission fluid. In addition, small particles of metal may come off the gears as they wear and these metal particles can mix with the fluid. Fluids can also become contaminated with water.
The service includes:
Evacuating the old manual transmission fluid
Filling the manual transmission fluid with the manufacturer’s recommended type and quantity of new fluid
