Maintaining Your Tuned Transmission: Tips and Best Practices

Keeping Your Enhanced Ford at Peak Performance

Congratulations on upgrading your Ford's transmission! Now, let's ensure it continues to deliver optimal performance with some maintenance tips.

Regular Check-Ups

  • Fluid Checks: Transmission fluid is the lifeblood of your gearbox. Regular checks and changes are crucial, especially after tuning, to ensure everything runs smoothly. We recommend servicing your transmission every 40k km's with regular use, or every 20-30l km's with heavy use or high temperatures.
  • Software Updates: Just like your smartphone, your vehicle's transmission software may need updates. Stay in touch with your tuner for any recommended software enhancements.

Spotting Potential Issues

  • Unusual Noises or Shifts: Pay attention to any new sounds or changes in how your transmission shifts gears. These could indicate a need for a check-up.
  • Performance Changes: If you notice any decline in performance or fuel efficiency, it might be time for a diagnostic check.

Expert Support

  • Regular Tuner Visits: Schedule an annual visit with your tuner to get the latest revision
  • Stay Informed: Keep an eye out for any recalls or advisories for your specific Ford model that might affect your transmission.

Enjoying the Long Road Ahead

With proper maintenance, your tuned transmission will continue to provide an enhanced driving experience for years to come. Remember, taking care of your vehicle is not just about preserving its function; it's about ensuring every journey is as enjoyable as the first.
