What Is Transmission Fluid?
In both automatic and manual transmissions, transmission fluid lubricates the moving parts of the transmission. This prevents them from being damaged by metal-on-metal friction. If you drive a Volkswagen model equipped with an automatic transmission, the fluid does even more. Since automatic transmissions run hotter than manual transmissions, the transmission fluid in an automatic also acts as a coolant. What's more, it can even help transfer power from the engine to the transmission.

Why Does My VW Need a Transmission Fluid Exchange?
Over time, transmission fluid will become less effective. If you're driving a VW with a manual transmission, the most likely way for this to happen is for the fluid to become contaminated. As tiny metal and rubber particles float around in the fluid, it becomes less effective as a lubricant. If you have a VW with an automatic transmission, it's more likely that the fluid will begin to break down and degrade first due to the extra heat. In either case, the lifespan of your transmission may be dramatically shortened if you go too long without a transmission fluid change.
How Often Should I Bring My VW to Zimbrick Volkswagen Madison for Transmission Fluid Exchange Service?
At Zimbrick Volkswagen Madison, we recommend having the transmission fluid in your VW changed about every 50,000 miles. However, if your owner's manual tells you to do this more often, follow the manual. When you visit Zimbrick Volkswagen Madison for this service, we will drain the old fluid and replace it with VW factory-approved transmission fluid. Our technicians will also inspect the transmission housing, the seals, and the cooler lines.
