Transmission Fluid Service & Transmission Flush in Calgary SW & SE
Transmission fluid does more than lubricate—it controls shifting, manages heat, and protects internal components from wear. Over time, transmission fluid can break down, darken, and lose its protective properties, which may lead to rough shifting, overheating, or expensive internal damage.
At Heritage AutoPro, we provide professional transmission fluid service in Calgary SW & SE, including drain-and-fill service, pan/filter service (when applicable), and transmission flush options when appropriate for your vehicle.
Signs You May Need Transmission Fluid Service
Book a transmission fluid check if you notice:
-
Delayed engagement into Drive or Reverse
-
Harsh shifting, slipping, or “flare” between gears
-
Shudder or vibration during acceleration
-
Burning smell from fluid
-
Dark or dirty transmission fluid
-
Fluid leaks under the vehicle
-
Transmission warning messages / limp mode (needs diagnosis)
Transmission Flush vs Drain-and-Fill (What’s Best?)
Not every transmission should be “flushed” the same way. The right service depends on your vehicle design, mileage, and fluid condition.
Drain-and-Fill (Often the safest maintenance option)
-
Replaces a portion of the fluid
-
Good for routine maintenance and higher-mileage vehicles
-
Helps refresh fluid without shocking the system
Pan Drop / Filter Service (Vehicle-dependent)
-
Allows inspection of the pan and magnet
-
Replaces the filter (if serviceable)
-
Helpful when maintenance history is unknown
Transmission Flush (When appropriate)
-
Exchanges a larger amount of fluid
-
Can be beneficial when recommended by the manufacturer and fluid condition supports it
-
Best done before the transmission develops significant symptoms
Honest note: If a transmission already has severe symptoms or the fluid is badly degraded, a flush may not be the best option. We’ll inspect the fluid and advise the safest approach.
