Transmission Fluid Service
Transmission fluid supports the functions required by a particular transmission design. The correct specification and service procedure differ among automatic, manual and continuously variable transmissions. Fluid service is maintenance, not a guarantee that an existing shifting fault will be repaired.

The drivetrain transfers power toward the wheels through components that vary by vehicle layout. Driveshafts, joints and axles can develop wear that causes vibration or noise. Identifying when a symptom occurs helps narrow the inspection.
