FAQ About Transmission Service

Your transmission does more than just shift gears – it’s what connects the power from your engine to the wheels. Without it, your INFINITI isn’t going anywhere. Whether you’re behind the wheel of a sleek Q60 or a spacious QX80, keeping the transmission in top shape is key to maintaining performance and avoiding costly repairs down the road. At Berglund INFINITI of Roanoke, our factory-trained technicians use the right tools, technology, and OEM parts to service your transmission the way it was meant to be. Stop by our Roanoke service center and let us help keep your INFINITI running at its best.

Frequently Asked Questions About Transmission Service

We’ve answered the most common questions about transmission service so you can feel confident about what your vehicle needs and when to schedule your next visit.

Q: How often should I schedule transmission service?

For most INFINITI vehicles, transmission fluid should be serviced about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but if your daily commute keeps you stuck in Roanoke traffic or you regularly tow a trailer, your transmission is working harder than average and may need fresh fluid more often. Your best bet is to follow the maintenance schedule in your owner’s manual, and check in with our certified technicians if you’re unsure.

Q: What are the signs my transmission needs attention?

If you’re noticing any of the signs below, it might be time to have your transmission checked out:

• Delayed or Rough Shifting
• Grinding or Shaking While Driving
• Transmission Slipping Between Gears
• Burning Smell or Overheating
• Warning Lights on the Dashboard

Putting off these warning signs could turn a small issue into a much bigger (and more expensive) problem.

Q: What does transmission service include?

When you get a transmission service done here at Berglund INFINITI of Roanoke, you can expect to receive the following services:

• Transmission Fluid Exchange or Flush
• Filter Replacement (If Equipped)
• Transmission Pan Gasket Replacement
• Software Updates or Reprogramming
• Multi-Point Inspection of Drivetrain Components

For vehicles with advanced continuously variable transmissions (CVTs), we use INFINITI-approved CVT fluid to maintain smooth, efficient performance.

Q: What are the benefits of regular transmission service?

Routine transmission maintenance keeps your vehicle performing at its best. Benefits include:

• Improved Shifting Quality and Responsiveness
• Extended Transmission Lifespan
• Prevention of Costly Repairs
• Better Fuel Efficiency
• Reliable Performance for Daily Driving and Long Trips

Q: What happens if I skip transmission service?

Putting off transmission service can have serious consequences. Over time, the fluid loses its ability to cool and lubricate the system, which can cause the transmission to overheat, slip between gears, or stop working altogether. If the transmission fails, the repair bill can easily climb into the thousands. By comparison, keeping up with routine maintenance is quick, affordable, and keeps your INFINITI running the way it should. Staying ahead of the service schedule is the best way to avoid stress, save money, and protect your vehicle’s performance.

Q: Can I service my transmission myself?

Technically, yes – it is possible to service a transmission on your own. But that doesn’t always mean it’s a good idea. Today’s INFINITI transmissions, especially CVTs and dual-clutch systems, aren’t like the ones your dad worked on in the garage. They require specific tools, manufacturer-approved fluids, and a deep understanding of the system. At Berglund INFINITI, our certified technicians handle this kind of work every day. It’s the smarter route if you want to avoid costly mistakes and keep your vehicle running smoothly.
