The Perfect Time to Get Transmission Service

A general rule of thumb on when to get transmission service for your Nissan is between 50,000 km – 100,000 km, or 2 to 4 years, but as a measure of safety we like to err on the side of sooner rather than later. Why so? Your transmission system can be a costly repair when bigger problems arise than traditional service, so be mindful of a possible hit to your wallet in the future and make sure you get regular transmission service.

Signs You Need Transmission Service

The transmission is something most car owners know is important, but don’t know every little detail about how it works, and, conversely, what it performs like when it needs service. What follows are a few signs you should look out for that your transmission may need service:

• • Weird noises: Do you hear grinding noises when shifting? Your transmission fluid may be low and need to be flushed.
  • Weird smells: What about a burning smell? This is a sign that needs to be attended to immediately.
  • Gear slippage: Do you notice your transmission gear slipping, or failing to to work properly? This could be a clear sign.
  • Shifting delays: Similarly, a delay when shifting could also mean service is in order.
