Frequent replacement Dana Dana transmission The harmful effects of oil:
1. The car feels underpowered when starting in cold weather.
2. Slight vehicle deviation while driving
3. Mold and evaporation of the transmission fluid result in insufficient lubrication, exacerbating damage to internal components and causing abnormal noises.
4. The transmission fluid is thick and viscous, with poor heat dissipation, causing the transmission temperature to rise excessively and accelerating wear and damage.
5. In critical situations, shifting gears becomes difficult, making it impossible to control vehicle speed and posing a serious safety hazard.
Transmission fluid must be replaced, and it should be done on schedule at a reputable auto repair shop. The replacement procedure is also crucial!
Timely replacement: In general, refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual for the Dana transmission‑oil change interval, using both mileage and time as guidelines—whichever comes first. Manual transmissions are relatively simple in design and typically require an oil change every 3 years or after 60,000+ kilometers, while automatic transmissions should be changed every 2 years or after 40,000+ kilometers.
Replacement method: Manual transmission fluid must be changed manually, while automatic transmission fluid is recommended to be replaced using specialized equipment. This approach ensures a more thorough oil change, extends the oil‑change interval, and allows for a complete flush of the automatic transmission, removing sludge and debris to keep the gearbox clean and well‑maintained.
For a long time, vehicle transmission maintenance has been fraught with issues, and one of the most contentious debates revolves around whether or not to change the Dana transmission fluid. In fact, from an experienced mechanic’s perspective, this is a misconception: transmission fluid must be replaced, though the oil‑change interval can be adjusted based on the vehicle’s actual operating conditions.
For most transmission fluids, it is generally recommended to change automatic transmission fluid every 2 years or after 40,000–50,000 kilometers, and manual transmission fluid every 3 years or after 60,000–70,000 kilometers. However, for transmissions that have already undergone a thorough overhaul, the oil‑change interval should be shortened.
Even when replacing transmission fluid, the method used for automatic transmissions can enhance fluid performance and extend the oil‑change interval. Specifically, an equipment‑based oil‑change process—employing dedicated oil‑exchange machinery—circulates the hydraulic fluid throughout the system while the transmission is in operation. After thoroughly draining the old fluid, fresh automatic‑transmission fluid is introduced, effectively removing accumulated sludge and debris. This dual‑action cleaning and maintenance approach boosts the oil‑change efficiency to approximately 90%.
When it comes to transmission maintenance, is simply changing the transmission fluid all that’s needed?
1. Check whether the front and rear mounting bolts of the transmission are loose or missing, and tighten them immediately if necessary.
2. Inspect the mounting bolts on the transmission top cover, side cover, and bearing end covers for looseness or loss, and tighten them immediately if necessary.
3. Inspect the spring washers on all transmission mounting bolts for damage and replace them immediately.
4. Check whether the vent is blocked; clean it immediately to ensure proper ventilation.
5. Inspect the housing’s sealing surface for any oil‑leakage marks, identify the root cause of the leakage, and carry out immediate repairs.
