Transmission Repair

Diagnosing a transmission problem is both an art and a science. So, in addition to using the latest computerized diagnostic equipment, we’ll always ask a series of thoughtful questions and then perform an extensive road test.

  • Leaking seals in the transmission or driveshaft
  • Worn bearings in the torque converter
  • Faulty solenoids, which control the flow of transmission fluid
  • Jammed or sticking clutches
  • Learn more about transmission repairs

Transmission Rebuild

We always check the communications link between the engine and transmission. Our careful review of cables, vacuum lines, electric sensors, and switches helps us to eliminate clutch and shifting malfunctions.

  • Transmission is taken apart; all parts are inspected
  • Good parts are kept; worn-out or damaged parts are replaced
  • Transmission is reassembled, and ready to start a new life
  • Learn more about transmission rebuilds

Transmission Replacement

If you plan on owning your car for many more years, a transmission replacement may be an even better option than a rebuild; here is what a replacement entails:

  • A suitable new transmission is located and shipped to us
  • Old transmission is completely removed and replaced by a new one
  • Replacements are more expensive than rebuilds, but offer longer warranties
  • Learn more about transmission replacements

Our Expert Technicians Will:

Correctly Identify the problem

Diagnosing a transmission problem is both an art and a science.  So, in addition to using the latest computer diagnostic equipment, we'll always ask thoughtful questions and perform a road test. 

Check Transmission Fluid

Transmissions require the right amount of fluid.  Too little may result in a leak which can cause serious damage to your transmission.  Also too much fluid can cause foaming which can cause band or clutch failure.  

Check Fluid Condition

Our technicians are able to understand the condition of your transmission by looking at the color.  They can then determine the cause and severity and even how the transmission should be repaired. 

Check Communications

We always check the communications link between the engine and transmission.  By careful review of cables, vacuum lines, electric sensors, and switches we are able to eliminate clutch and shifting malfunctions.

Check Electronic Data

All cars have electronic controls that send and receive information which affects the performance of the engine and transmission.  Our tests will tell us if these controls are working properly or if they are apart of the problem.

Keep Accurate Documentation

We make sure to keep accurately document the performance and condition of your transmission.  This helps us know when to order parts, service as needed and keep your car running smoother longer. 

Provide Quality Parts and Workmanship

Whether it's a simple filter for routine maintenance, or a new clutch needs to be ordered to rebuild your transmission, we are your experts.  No matter the part you need, it will be installed by a factory-trained, ASE-certified technician.
