Your vehicle’s transmission is the vital link between the engine and the wheels. Essentially, it manages how power is transferred from the engine’s crankshaft to your drivetrain, enabling your vehicle to accelerate, decelerate, and maintain speed smoothly.
Transmissions come in two primary types: manual and automatic. You physically change gears through the clutch and gear selector in a manual setup. An automatic, complex system of hydraulics, electronic controls, and planetary gearsets handles those shifts for you.
The transmission must suit the engine’s power output with the appropriate drive ratio to optimize performance and fuel economy regardless of type.
Over time, internal components like gears, bearings, and clutches endure significant stress, especially if fluid levels fall or become contaminated. That’s why understanding how your transmission operates, and recognizing the signs of wear, ensures that you can address minor issues before they escalate into costly repairs or replacements.
If your car’s transmission needs repair, you can book a visit to our shop online. It’s rare for a model to require a complete transmission replacement. So, when you bring in your vehicle, our technicians will inspect it and then decide on the necessary repair.
It may require a simple part replacement, which we can perform with help from our parts center, or it may require a retuning or adjustment.
The first step in getting your transmission back to top form is identifying that it needs repair. So, what can you look out for? If it’s a manual transmission, you’ll likely be able to feel a malfunction in the gearbox itself or notice odd performance behavior when your model is running in a specific gear.
For an automatic transmission, it’s essential to watch for gear slippage, which unexpectedly drops your car from one gear to the next, or a reluctance to change gears as you try to accelerate. It’s also possible your vehicle’s transmission might make odd noises as it attempts to move from gear to gear.
If you have any questions about your transmission's current performance or its upkeep over time, you can contact our team.
Regular maintenance is the key to extending the life of your transmission and preserving your vehicle's performance. Specific intervals can vary by model and driving conditions, so consult your owner’s manual for a general guideline on when to have your transmission inspected and serviced.
These processes typically involve draining and refilling the transmission fluid, changing the filter (for models equipped with a serviceable filter), and checking for leaks, worn seals, or damaged hoses.
Severe driving conditions—frequent towing, off-roading, or constant stop-and-go city driving—can necessitate more frequent service.
Staying on top of your transmission maintenance schedule prevents contaminants from wearing down critical components, keeps your gear changes smooth, and ultimately saves you from expensive repairs down the road.
