Video tutorial

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 most accurate maintenance of the automatic transmission is the washing of the gears - after removing the used oil - which removes the old oil from them, after which we can put the new oil back into the system.

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