Automatic transmissions create an extreme internal heat through friction. Much of this heat is developed in your vehicles torque converter. Some other sources of friction is created when the clutch packs are engage, and also typical friction created by your transmission gears and bearings carrying their loads.
There are many small particles like metal shavings that get caught or build up in the transmission fluid and as this goes through cogs and gears, it gets stuck and wears down the different parts of the transmission. This will result in a need to rebuild the transmission to replace the worn parts without regular maintenance. The new transmission fluid enhances the holding power between the clutches so that it does not slip and reduces the friction heat created.
Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) in your vehicle heats up quickly while driving. In normal driving conditions your transmission fluid temperatures average around 175 degrees, which is your normal operating temperature at which most transmission fluids are designed to operate. If your transmission fluid temperatures could maintain at 175 degrees, the transmission fluid may last up to 30,000 miles to 60,000.
The life of the transmission fluid begins to plummet as the temperature rises. The problem is even your vehicle normal driving conditions can push the ATF fluid temperatures beyond safe limits. Heavy towing, extreme cold or hot temperatures and even extended time sitting in traffic can quickly cause transmission fluid deterioration. Once this happens, the transmission trouble begins.
Although a transmission service is only needed here and there throughout your car's lifespan, extending your car's life and avoiding any major transmission repairs is a long way to go.
