The maintenance of the automatic transmission

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Transmission

There is a legend, fueled also by the Construction Companies, that automatic transmission does not need maintenance. Nothing could be further from the truth. The classic automatic transmission is composed of many oil-controlled mechanisms; inside there are clutches, which wear out over time, and the shavings end up in the oil, which can clog the micro-holes of the valves that make up the transmission.

The youtuber describes the method of washing and changing the oil, which must be done by professionals.
