At Lew Broyles & Sons in Cheyenne, WY, we know that the life of a transmission is solely dependent on the quality of repair and maintenance it receives.
Checking the fluid level on your transmission is fairly easy, but a bit more complicated than checking your oil.

With that in mind, here are some tips from Lew Broyles & Sons in Cheyenne, WY in regard to checking your transmission fluid.
Car enthusiasts would argue that "those were the days". Everything you drove was built like a tank and had the chrome on it so you enjoyed washing it but NO power steering. For most of us, it is hard to remember life without power steering – cranking those great big steering wheels? It was a pretty good workout. Now power steering is standard. The heart of any power steering system is its pump. The pump pressurizes the power steering fluid that provides assistance for steering. Most pumps are driven by a belt that is run by the engine – a few are electrically powered. A high-pressure hose passes fluid from the pump to the steering gear. A low-pressure hose returns the fluid back to the pump. Here at Lew Broyles & Sons in Cheyenne, WY we know that you depend on that power steering and check your fluid & hoses religiously!
