The lifespan of a transmission can vary greatly depending on several factors, including the make and model of the vehicle, driving habits, maintenance routines, and whether it’s manual or automatic. On average, a transmission should last between 100,000 and 200,000 miles, or approximately 7 to 10 years for most drivers. However, with excellent care and regular maintenance, some transmissions can last over 300,000 miles. It’s important to remember that these are just averages, and a transmission can fail sooner or last longer based on the factors mentioned above. Regular check-ups and proper care can significantly extend the life of a vehicle’s transmission. The question is, how do you know when your transmission is failing? And what are your options?
