Transmission Fluid FAQs
How often do you really need to change transmission fluid?
It's important to change your transmission fluid, but the type of transmission you have affects your ideal changing interval. Most cars on the road today have an automatic transmission. If you drive a car with an automatic transmission you need to change your transmission fluid every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. If your car has a manual transmission, it's recommended that you get the transmission fluid changed every 30,000 to 60,000 miles.
What are signs that you need to change your transmission fluid?
The most obvious sign that it is time to change your transmission fluid is a warning light on the dashboard. Other signs may include the car's engine revving when you accelerate or go around corners, difficulty shifting, a chattering noise when you start driving, a slight burning smell or a puddle under your car. Like always, if you are uncertain about a noise, leak or feeling, we encourage you to bring your vehicle to us here at Prattville Auto & RV Repair Center LLC in Prattville.
Does a car run better after transmission fluid change?
Yes. Changing your car's transmission fluid regularly is a great way to improve fuel efficiency. Your vehicle's transmission will run smoother after changing the fluid, which means your engine will perform better.
What is the average life of a transmission?
Regular fluid changes, filter replacements, and following a proper maintenance schedule are crucial for maximizing transmission life. Neglecting these can significantly shorten its lifespan. Most modern automatic transmissions, with proper maintenance, can last anywhere from 100,000 to 200,000 miles. Manual transmissions typically last longer, often exceeding 250,000 miles with good care.
Which type of transmission lasts the longest?
Opting for a manual transmission means simpler upkeep. They require less frequent servicing than automatics and aren't picky about specific oil types. Cars with stick shifts often enjoy a longer lifespan compared to their automatic siblings of the same model.

Outstanding! Got us in fast every time, had great prices and did great work and honest assessments. Very knowledgeable and experienced. They know how to repair Onan generators and fixed our unique generator exhaust pipe quickly without having to order an expensive new one. They also fixed the lights on our tow dolly. Recommend them without hesitation! Thanks!
This is a wonderful business, thought hard about not doing a review because I want to keep this gem quiet, but it's too good to keep a secret. If you want to fix your rv this is the place to go.
We are a little late posting these comments but better late than never. We had the fuel pump on our 2011 Damon Daybreak stop working while visiting the Prattville area in August this year. Kevin and the other folks at Prattville RV provided quick, efficient, and friendly service. We decided to stay a few extra days in the area and then when we got ready to leave the battery on the coach was dead. Kevin and gang had us repaired and on the road within 1&1/2 hours. Thanks Prattville RV for your assistance!! 5 star service.
