Frequently asked questions
My automatic car jerks when changing gears in Hyderabad — what's wrong?
Jerky or harsh gear changes in an automatic are usually caused by degraded ATF (automatic transmission fluid) from Hyderabad's stop-go traffic heat cycles. Fresh ATF acts as a hydraulic fluid and lubricant — old degraded ATF causes harsh shifts, hunting between gears, and slipping. ATF flush (₹4,000–₹8,000) at Metre Per Second typically resolves shift quality issues immediately.
How often should I change automatic transmission fluid in Hyderabad?
Manufacturers specify 40,000–60,000 km ATF service intervals, but Hyderabad's constant stop-go traffic generates 2–3x the thermal stress on ATF vs. highway driving. We recommend ATF service every 30,000–40,000 km in Hyderabad. Using the correct grade is critical — never mix ATF types. Metre Per Second uses OEM-specified ATF grades for all car brands.
