Although transmissions are among the most complex mechanical parts found in a vehicle, they are relatively easy to maintain. However, they are also one of the most expensive parts to replace if proper maintenance procedures aren't followed.

The first step in maintaining a transmission is to check its fluid level and quality. Most vehicles have a transmission dipstick that you can access in much the same way you access your oil dipstick.
