First, avoid driving before your engine and transmission have been given a chance to warm up. Cold transmission fluid is thicker than warm transmission fluid, making it a poor conductor of friction. We suggest letting your vehicle idle until the engine reaches a lower RPM. Second, avoid shifting gears while your vehicle is still in motion. Doing so can seriously damage gears and clutches. Third, avoid racing or driving aggressively. And fourth, avoid visiting an inexperienced or unqualified mechanic.

As a general rule of thumb, service intervals for an automatic transmission vehicle stand between 60,000 and 100,000 miles. As more heat is generated in your automatic transmission, your fluid will degrade. It can also become contaminated with rusted or worn pieces of your transmission. Failing to have your transmission properly and regularly serviced could result in a lower transmission lifespan. You should also check your transmission fluid level between service intervals if your transmission is equipped with a dip-stick (always refer to your owners manual for OE suggested service intervals).

Here are some simple precautions you can take to keep your transmission in tip-top shape:
1. Schedule routine maintenance (refer to your owner's manual).
2. Stop completely before shifting into different gears
3. Avoid harsh starts

On average, you should change your automatic transmission fluid about every 30,000 miles. However, every vehicle is different and depending on the manufacturer of your vehicle, the suggested intervals may vary.

In the transmission industry, what we call a bushing is known by many names—plain bearing, solid bearing, slide bearing, and friction bearing all refer to this component. Compact, cost-effective, and lightweight, bushings into a housing or bore act as a bearing and provide a surface for a rotating shaft and support for a shaft that moves fore and aft. The primary purpose of a bushing is to reduce friction and wear on mechanical parts.
