TREMEC Transmission Maintenance<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"Photography by Cole Quinnell<\/a> Love the great performance and smooth shifting of your TREMEC<\/strong>We thought so…<\/strong>Well,\u00a0 regular maintenance will keep your transmission in top-performing condition.<\/strong> Tremec transmissions are manufactured to strict original equipment vehicle manufacturing standards, and they do not require much maintenance.The popular T56-Magnum, TKO, TKX, and T5 transmissions are often installed in high-performance or race vehicles that require somewhat regular inspection.In this article, we\u2019ll provide a rundown of what to check, and how to perform an oil change on a TREMEC transmission built for aftermarket use.<\/p>\n

MDL<\/span> recommends adding the oil to your transmission just before installing it into your vehicle for two reasons.<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. If you want to test fit or mock-up your trans or intend to move it around, it won’t leak fluid if it’s empty.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. It may be difficult to do so once it is installed.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What fluid should I use and how much?<\/h1>\n

    Transmission fluid is one of the most important parts of your transmission.<\/strong><\/em><\/span>Proper wear and synchronization depend on using proper fluid.<\/strong><\/em><\/span> <\/p>\n
    \n

    WARNING<\/strong><\/span>Be sure to fill the transfer case with proper fluid & to the proper level ( see links below for your model’s specifications.). <\/strong>Otherwise, the transfer case and internal gears may be damaged when the engine is started.If the vehicle is driven, without following these guidelines the transfer case could lock up causing personal injury.<\/strong><\/p>\n

     AMSOIL Transmission Fluids are premium-quality lubricants designed to surpass the most demanding lubrication requirements of manual transmissions and transaxles where non-extreme-pressure fluids are used, that require a steady supply of high-quality fluid.Without it, wear and sludge formation can lead to reduced performance and even failure, requiring thousands of dollars in repairs.We have had great results with this brand and that’s why we suggest it.<\/strong><\/span> <\/p>\n
