In the world of modern vehicle maintenance, efficiency, precision, and safety are everything. The new Sykes Pickavant Digital Automatic Transmission Flush (ATF) Machine – 35070000 represents the next generation of transmission servicing technology. Designed for speed, accuracy, and versatility, it delivers complete fluid replacement in a short period of time across all major transmission types: Standard ATF, DCT/DSG, and CVT systems.
Workshops are under constant pressure to provide faster turnaround times without compromising service quality. The ATF Machine delivers just that, replacing 100% of the transmission fluid in a short period of time. Its fully automatic operation ensures a safe, reliable, and user-friendly experience, allowing technicians to focus on what matters most: delivering top-quality service to customers.
Beyond speed, the system’s high-capacity exchange capability makes it suitable for buses, trucks, and other large vehicles, ensuring no job is too big or too small. The ability to preheat oil improves efficiency even further, optimising the fluid exchange process and reducing wear on transmission components.
The machine is compatible with any type of ATF oil and includes a comprehensive set of standard adaptors to suit a wide range of vehicles. Each unit comes complete with two Automatic Transmission Flush Kits (FATFKIT), making it ready for action straight out of the box.
For even broader coverage, the ATF Adaptor Kit (35090000) provides 105 additional adaptors, expanding compatibility across multiple makes and models. With this kit, workshops can confidently service an extensive range of vehicles, from everyday passenger cars to specialist fleet applications.
To complement this, we also offer a comprehensive range of additional adaptor kits designed to meet the needs of every workshop. The FDATFM-KIT1, FDATFM-KIT2, and FDATFM-KIT3 each include a unique selection of connectors and fittings to suit various manufacturer-specific transmission systems. Together, these kits ensure technicians have access to one of the largest and most versatile ATF adaptor ranges available, enabling seamless connections and efficient servicing across an ever-growing range of vehicle types and transmission technologies.
To further enhance safety and control, Sykes Pickavant offers the ATF Fluid Control Adaptor (35070100). This clever “H Adapter” has been designed specifically for JLR and Ford vehicles with thermostats in the oil cooler lines.
By allowing technicians to connect the vehicle to the ATF machine while cold, it eliminates the risk of burns associated with disconnecting hot lines. Integrated stop valves at the machine end make it possible to safely warm both the car and machine to operating temperature before the fluid exchange begins.
Once the system reaches the correct temperature, the oil exchange proceeds smoothly, ensuring optimal accuracy, performance, and protection. After service, technicians can easily follow the manufacturer’s recommended oil level checks, whether hot or cold, to guarantee correct fill levels every time.
At Sykes Pickavant, we’re committed to equipping workshops with the most reliable, innovative, and efficient service solutions. The Digital ATF Machine range exemplifies our mission to improve productivity while maintaining the highest standards of safety and performance.
Whether you’re operating a high-volume service centre or an independent garage, the new generation Sykes Pickavant Digital ATF Machine and its range of accessories will help you take automatic transmission servicing to the next level.
