PRESENTED BY: RAMMEY TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING COMPANY.

At the end of this presentation, participant are expected to: (1) Be able to identify when transmission fluid is due for flushing (2) Be able to differentiate between a fluid change and a fluid flush. (3) Be able to identify the type of transmission fluid to use for flushing and replacement.

Introduction: As the owner of a vehicle, it’s important to be very careful and knowledgeable about the fluid you’re using in your transmission. Therefore, today we are going to educate you on the different types of transmission fluid used in both classic and modern automatic transmissions.

Transmission fluid is to an automatic transmission as water is to an aquarium. Some people spend hundreds of dollars on their tropical fish hobby. If they don’t maintain the right PH level and water temperature in their custom aquarium, it could cause serious damage, or death. The same rule applies to vehicles. A car is a major investment. Without the correct type of fluid, or the proper amount, the transmission will not operate correctly, and in most cases will self-destruct. Transmission fluid is used in an automatic transmission as a lubricant to provide the transmission with a way to shed excessive heat, and to act as a transmitter of power by using hydraulic pressure to move valves and apply band and clutches

Assuming the automatic transmission box has the capacity to hold 10 litters of transmission oil. The oil is distributed in three parts a) The converter holds 40% volume of the oil b) The valve body holds 20% volume of the oil c) While the sump holds thee remaining b 40% of the oil. This means while changing the oil, only 40% of the contaminated oil is changed.

So when you add a new fluid of about 4 litters, its as good as the old one. If the transmission fluid is left unchanged it loses its property of: 1)Fluid Pressure 2)Good lubrication property 3)Heat dissipation (it heat up very easily)

Thanks for listening QUESTIONS.
