At Meta Mechanics, we recently performed a Transmission Fluid Change for a Range Rover Evoque in Dubai, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the vehicle’s transmission system. Transmission fluid plays a crucial role in lubricating the components of the transmission, keeping it cool, and enabling smooth gear shifting. Over time, the fluid can degrade, causing potential performance issues such as rough shifting, overheating, and transmission damage. Our expert technicians provided a thorough fluid change, addressing any issues and enhancing the overall driving experience.
Issues Found During Transmission Fluid Change:
- Degraded Transmission Fluid: The old transmission fluid had degraded over time, losing its lubricating properties and becoming thick or contaminated. This can lead to inefficient transmission operation, rough shifting, and increased friction inside the transmission system.
Solution:
We completely drained the old transmission fluid and replaced it with high-quality OEM fluid that meets the manufacturer’s specifications. This restored proper lubrication and ensured smooth shifting. - Transmission Overheating: Low or degraded transmission fluid can cause the transmission to overheat, leading to poor performance, slipping, and even severe damage. This was identified as a potential cause for the vehicle’s suboptimal transmission behavior.
Solution:
After the fluid change, we ensured that the transmission was properly topped up with fresh fluid, preventing overheating and keeping the transmission at a safe operating temperature for optimal performance. - Dirty Transmission Filter: Over time, the transmission filter can become clogged with debris and contaminants, restricting fluid flow and causing rough or erratic shifting. The Range Rover Evoque had a dirty filter that was contributing to the overall transmission issues.
Solution:
Along with the fluid change, we also replaced the old transmission filter to ensure the proper flow of clean transmission fluid, enhancing the efficiency and lifespan of the transmission system. - Slipping Gears: One of the symptoms noticed was the vehicle slipping out of gear or failing to shift smoothly. This could be a result of low or contaminated transmission fluid, leading to improper gear engagement.
Solution:
By performing a transmission fluid change and replacing the filter, we eliminated the slipping issue, restoring smooth and reliable gear shifts throughout all driving conditions. - Unusual Noises from the Transmission: Low or dirty transmission fluid can cause unusual whining or grinding noises from the transmission, indicating that the system is not functioning optimally due to insufficient lubrication.
Solution:
After replacing the old fluid and filter, we conducted a test drive to ensure the noise was gone and that the transmission was running quietly and efficiently, providing a much quieter driving experience.
