Excessive heat can be especially hard on a transmission. Overheating may be related to fluid condition or level, cooling-system problems, towing or heavy loads, demanding driving conditions or an internal transmission problem.

If your vehicle displays a transmission temperature warning or you suspect the transmission is running unusually hot, Certified Transmission in Bellevue can inspect the transmission and cooling system to determine why. Addressing the cause is more important than simply clearing a warning or adding fluid.
