In most cases, we prefer to have a transmission rebuilt because you are guaranteed that all parts are original. When a transmission has been replaced, the vehicle may have to undergo further testing since the new one does not match the entire engine.

You'll notice that your transmission is slipping if you cannot immediately change gear or if it flares or slips.

Most likely, it's your transmission fluid ifs is red. It's best to seek assistance from a reputable Eagle Transmission mechanic.

You can check the manual of your vehicle for the manufacturer's advice. Ideally, transmission fluid must be changed or replenished every 15,000 miles, especially if you use your vehicle often. If your transmission fluid is looking, it may need to be replaced right away.

Changing the fluid depends on its condition. If it is below the advisable level or if it is contaminated by dirt, water or coolant, it must be immediately changed so as to not affect its ability to provide appropriate lubrication.

That depends on transmission type. If you own a manual transmission and you use it on a regular basis, manufacturers suggest that you have it changed every 15,000 miles, and every 30,000 miles after. If you own an automatic transmission, it must be serviced every 30,000 miles.

Although possible, Eagle Transmission does not advise you to personally change the transmission fluid. Adding the wrong type of fluid or more than the allowable level could lead to severe damages in the long run.

If you are not skilled when it comes to replacing your fluid, it is best to visit Eagle Transmission so that we can appropriately change it using high quality ATF that matches your vehicle's needs. Remember, failure to add the right fluid could cause serious damages, resulting in transmission repair or replacement.

Car manufacturers do not include dipsticks on their new models. If your vehicle doesn't have a dipstick, visit Eagle Transmission so that we can check the level of your fluid and assess if it is still okay to be used.

On many foreign autos, especially German made, the transmissions are factory sealed and the fluid can only be serviced by a trained service technician. The transmission fluid level should not be affected unless your BMW has a leak. This will typically require service to repair the leak.

If it is light pink and clear of any other contaminants, it's perfectly fine. There are some ATF that look that way, especially if you have just recently had it changed. However, if it is foamy, there's something wrong. One common problem is your radiator: the coolant has mixed with your ATF; therefore, it has to be flushed immediately and your radiator needs to be replaced or repaired (depending on the severity of the condition)

Additives are not really necessary. What you really need to do is to habitually visit a transmission repair shop in order for you to keep your vehicle's performance. Additives are no miracle and their benefits are limited. Additionally, these benefits may also be acquired if you keep your transmission at its peak condition.

Transmission flushing is a type of service wherein your vehicle's cooler lines will be connected to an equipment that pumps the fluid out while adding new fluid.
