Transmission Fluid Flush & Service in Salem, UT
Shifting rough, slipping between gears, or noticing delayed engagement? Fresh transmission fluid can restore smooth operation and protect one of your vehicle’s most expensive systems. At Tried and True Auto in Salem, Utah, we perform professional transmission fluid flushes and fluid exchanges for cars, trucks, and SUVs—using the correct spec fluid and precise equipment.
Why Transmission Fluid Service Matters
-
Removes contaminants: Over time, ATF accumulates debris and metal particles that can harm valves, solenoids, and clutches.
-
Improves shift quality: Fresh fluid can help reduce shudder, flare, and harsh shifts.
-
Protects under heat: New fluid restores cooling and lubrication properties to prevent overheating and premature wear.
-
Extends transmission life: Routine fluid service is far cheaper than transmission rebuilds.
What We Do (Flush / Exchange Done Right)
-
Confirm correct ATF spec for your transmission (including CVT/DCT where applicable)
-
Full fluid exchange or drain-and-fill depending on manufacturer guidance and vehicle condition
-
Replace external filter/pan gasket when applicable
-
Inspect for leaks, fluid condition, and road test to verify shift quality
-
Reset service reminders (when supported)
Note: Some manufacturers recommend drain-and-fill over a powered flush, especially on higher-mileage or CVT/DCT units. We follow OEM maintenance guidelines and advise the safest method for your vehicle.
