Vehicle Transmission & Clutch Maintenance
Regular transmission maintenance helps remove dirt and contaminants from automatic transmission fluid to make engines run smoothly. The process involves removing the old pan, gasket, and filter and replacing these materials. Tools include funnels, catch pans, torque wrenches and ratchets. Clutch maintenance involves realigning or replacing clutch parts due to slippage or wear. Specialized tools for this type of maintenance include spring compressors to remove the clutch retainer ring, adjusting wrenches to fix the spacing between the disks of a friction clutch, and flywheel puller sets to separate the flywheel from the clutch assembly.
