There are many different processes required depending on the manufacturer, some of which may include all the following or just some of them. The mechanic will:

• Raise the vehicle and get the gearbox up to temperature if required by the procedures
• Remove the gearbox drain plug, or insert a syphon pump down the filler tube
• Removed the gearbox sump where applicable so the filter can be accessed
• Cleaned the parts before a new filter is installed and the sump refitted with a new gasket or sealing compound
• Fill the gearbox with the correct ATF for the gearbox and application in accordance with the manufacturer's procedure
• Use a diagnostic tool in some cases to refill the gearbox in stages
• Run through the gearbox selection routine
• Road test the vehicle

First place to check will be the service records coming with the car. If you have a maintenance record of the car, it should be normally be noted in the service section. If there is no sign of a recent change, it's worth checking the condition of the fluid by checking the colour of the fluid - if the transmission fluid is clean and red or pinkish in colour, it was probably changed recently.

Bad transmission fluid in itself is not checked during an MOT so it is not likely to fail. However, it is best to do a full service before an MOT test, where most car fluids will be checked and replaced if needed.

Some symptoms of too much transmission fluid are:

• Delay in shifting gears
• A sticking throttle
• A burning smell
