Transmission repairs or replacements are inconvenient, stressful or quite expensive so its always good to pay attention to any activity that seems unusual .
Gear Box Oil / Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is the life blood of the transmission since it is lubricates, cleans and conditions the seals and acts as hydraulic fluid.
If the Gear Box Oil is too low, the engine will seize up and stop working completely.
Gear Box Oil (ATF) is bright red in color, clean and smells good if everything is working correctly.
if the fluid is dark or it has a burnt smell, then its time to get the fluid flushed or changed and may be it needs some repair.Unlike the other oils used in the car, the Gear Box Oil (ATF|) is not consumed by the car, so if the level is low then there is a leak somewhere and it must be fixed.

How to perform the automatic transmission service ?
There are two methods for performing the transmission service:-
Flush: This method uses a professional machine to completely flush all the transmission fluid from your vehicle to remove some grime and contaminants. This process runs a special solution through the lines until they come completely clean and fills up with the new fluid.
Change:This method simply drains out the old fluid using natural gravitational forces, but it doesn’t not out the contaminants.
