Honda Transmission Service

Transmission service is one of the most important parts of maintaining a vehicle. A bad transmission eventually leads to the car, truck, van, or SUV to either function poorly or not function at all. This is why it's important that whether you have a new or used Honda, you get your Honda transmission service done by a reputable dealership. While any outlet or back-alley mechanic can promise to repair or service a transmission for cheap, what you really need is quality service done by trained professionals certified to work on your Honda.

This is why you should bring your vehicle to Ralph Honda. We're a Honda dealership that puts a focus on professionalism and service quality. We offer a multitude of services, from routine maintenance to more complicated repairs, including transmission service on your Honda vehicle, handled by our skilled service technicians. If you need transmission service on your Honda vehicle, look no further than Ralph Honda and our expert service department to take care of the job.

The model, year, and trim variation will determine what kind of transmission you have outfitted inside your Honda. There are different kinds of transmissions for different kinds of Honda vehicles. These transmission types include automatic, manual, and continuously variable transmissions. What kind of transmission you have will determine what kind of service it will require at regularly scheduled intervals.

For those of you wondering what the differences are between the transmissions, it all boils down to how the vehicle's propulsion is handled. The purpose of a transmission is to take all of the energy built up from the engine and transfer it to the wheels to move the vehicle forward or backward. The different transmission types achieve this goal in different ways. With automatic transmissions or continuously variable transmissions (often referred to as CVTs), you don't have to do anything other than put the vehicle in the appropriate drive mode and let the transmission do all of the work while you're on the road. With manual transmissions, you have to manually shift the gears as you go faster or slower, using a clutch pedal as you shift up and down as necessary.

Depending on whether you have an automatic, CVT, or manual transmission will determine what kind of wear and tear will incur over the course of time. Where you drive your vehicle will also determine how much wear the transmission will receive, which can also alter how often it may need to be serviced. It's also important to keep in mind that the different types of transmissions also require different types of service.

It's not necessary to know how your transmission works, nor do you have to worry about how you need to service it. Why? Because that's the job of our certified technicians at Ralph Honda. All you have to do is bring your Honda to our dealership, and we can inspect, maintain, service, or repair the transmission as necessary. We do work on automatic, CVT, and manual Honda transmissions. Simply schedule to have your Honda serviced, and we will do the rest.

Most transmissions need to be serviced at most every 30,000 miles or at least every 60,000 miles. It all depends on the type of transmission you have and how much wear and tear you put on the gears. For a vehicle in which you regularly have to do a lot of shifting and pushing the payload limit or doing a lot of off-road, uphill, or downhill traversal, you may need to get the transmission inspected more often. If the vehicle is driven in relatively light conditions from point A to point B, you may not need to have it serviced as often unless you are having problems with it.

Typically you will need to have the transmission fluid checked, drained, and changed. Our certified technicians will ensure your vehicle gets the right kind of fluid during the scheduled Honda transmission service and also perform the necessary inspections for general wear and mechanical functionality. However, you may require service earlier than the recommended service intervals if you notice that you may have a problem. So how do you know you have a problem? Well, there are a few signs.

If you notice that your transmission is leaking fluid, then it means there's a crack or break, typically in a transmission fluid line. Alternatively, it may mean a seal has become compromised and needs to be looked at as soon as possible. If you notice that there's an odor coming from under the vehicle or around the transmission area, or notice a burning smell, then it means your transmission is overheating and needs to be serviced immediately. Finally, if you hear the gears grinding, there are noticeable delays in shifts, or it sounds like the engine is revving, but the vehicle isn't moving while in gear, then it could mean there are serious issues with your transmission as well. Typically warning lights should indicate that service is required for the transmission, and it's imperative to bring it to a certified Honda dealer as soon as possible.
