Transmission Services
Getting a transmission fluid exchange (a.k.a transmission flush) from one of Moss Bros. Auto Group's eight Service Centers in Riverside, San Bernardino and Moreno Valley is important maintenance for your vehicle's health - that's why vehicle manufacturers recommend regularly scheduled transmission service. If your vehicle isn't performing the way you expect, let us perform a complete evaluation to determine your car or truck's needs.
Automatic Transmission Service
Automatic transmissions depend upon fluid to lubricate, cool and clean internal transmission parts. This fluid can deplete or degrade over time and many manufacturers recommend that it be replaced periodically, extending the life of the transmission. In addition to transmission fluid exchange, Moss Bros. can replace the internal filter and adjust the "bands" that manage the gear functions.
Manual Transmission Service
Manual transmissions also rely upon lubricant to protect the gears, bearings, shafts and internal components of a transmission. By regularly servicing your manual transmission, premature wear, transmission damage and costly repairs can help be prevented. Not only can Moss Bros. perform transmission fluid exchange services, we can perform clutch replacement (including hydraulics), differential service, and transmission replacement.

How often should I have my transmission serviced?
Transmission service intervals vary by manufacturer, vehicle model, and driving conditions. Many manufacturers recommend replacing transmission fluid at scheduled mileage intervals to help protect internal components and maintain smooth shifting. Refer to your owner's manual or speak with one of our Service Advisers for the recommended maintenance schedule for your vehicle.
What are the signs my transmission needs service?
Common signs include delayed acceleration, rough or harsh shifting, grinding or shaking when changing gears, a burning smell, leaking transmission fluid, or an illuminated check engine light. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's important to have your transmission inspected as soon as possible.
Why is transmission fluid important?
Transmission fluid lubricates, cools, and helps clean the internal components of your transmission. Over time, the fluid can break down or become contaminated, reducing its effectiveness. Replacing old transmission fluid helps support smooth operation and may extend the life of your transmission.
Do automatic and manual transmissions require different maintenance?
Yes. Automatic transmissions typically require transmission fluid exchanges and, on some vehicles, filter replacement. Manual transmissions also require periodic lubricant replacement and may need clutch, differential, or hydraulic system service depending on the vehicle and mileage.
