Having the proper amount of transmission fluid is essential to the normal operation of the transmission. Transmission fluid has three main purposes. It transmits power, acts as a heat exchanger and lubricates. A transmission that is leaking can have an adverse effect on any or all of these functions. So, as soon as you detect a leak, it is important that you have the vehicle inspected to determine the source of the leak. Cottman's TransCheck 21 Plus will do just that.

Cottman's FREE TransCheck 21 PLUS service will help you and our personnel identify the origin of the leak. This service is important because a transmission can leak from any one of nine to eleven external areas, many of which are considered minor. We also know that where a transmission leaks from and where it drips can be two different areas. Leaks may be caused by problems other than seals. Leaks, many times, DO NOT indicate a serious problem. On the other hand, leaks may be the result of a more serious mechanical failure. An inspection by a qualified technician is the best way to tell. The important thing is to get those leaks stopped as soon as they become apparent or major trouble is almost sure to follow.

Cottman's Free TransCheck 21 PLUS® Service includes a road test and external examination of your transmission, where we will evaluate the performance and condition of your vehicle's transmission, and determine what services, if any, are required.
