Transmission Repair

The transmission is the component of your vehicle that connects the engine to the wheels. The transmission is a crucial element for the performance and reliability of your vehicle, whether you drive a manual, automatic, or semi-automatic. The transmission helps the engine work more efficiently by making sure the output matches the speed and load conditions. The transmission reduces engine output speed and transmits torque through the differential, driveshaft, and wheels because engines operate at high rotational speeds. The transmission switches gears to influence the torque applied to the wheels, varying with the speed of the engine. The duties of transmission fluid vary depending on the type of transmission. The transmission fluid cools the transmission and protects it by lubricating the internal gears and preventing corrosion and rust. In a manual transmission, clutches and gear shifts provide engagement and disengagement, while in an automatic transmission, transmission fluid provides these same operational functions.​

Benefits

If your vehicle's transmission is not working properly, it can cause problems with the performance of your vehicle. An impending transmission service may exhibit symptoms such as grinding gears, difficulty shifting, slipping out of gear, bucking, and hesitation. Excessive noise from your transmission is a sign of transmission problems, even if the transmission is in neutral. Other signs of transmission issues in a manual transmission include a dragging clutch and a clutch that fails to disengage from the flywheel. If this happens, the clutch will keep spinning along with your car's engine, and you'll hear a grinding noise. If there's a burning smell coming from the air vents, it means the transmission fluid is on fire and the transmission is overheating. Negative impacts on your transmission's life can come from extreme driving habits, as well as excessive loads or heavy towing. Old, dirty, and unchanged transmission fluid can cause performance issues because it doesn't provide the necessary pressure and force for automatic transmissions. If you experience any of the warning signs of transmission trouble, contact us today about transmission repair, Regular transmission maintenance as indicated by your vehicle’s manufacturer can help prevent transmission problems.​

Transmission Repair Services

Automatic Transmission Repair

Approximate Time:  90 Minutes
The transmission's job is to transfer power from the engine to the drive wheels, and it helps the engine accommodate a range of speeds. An automatic transmission uses gears to regulate power and speed while the driver focuses on other things. The following major components are found in automatic transmissions: a planetary gear unit, a hydraulic pump, and a torque converter. The torque converter is the primary difference between an automatic transmission and a manual transmission. It operates similarly to the clutch. The torque converter adjusts the engine speed and supplies power to the wheels of the vehicle automatically. Transmission fluid helps torque converters by lubricating internal gears and components, as well as providing the force and pressure needed for switching gears. You can extend the life of your transmission and prevent major repairs and unexpected breakdowns by performing various maintenance services throughout its life.

Clutch Adjustment & Inspection

Approximate Time: 60 Minutes
The clutch in a manual transmission is responsible for engaging and disengaging the transmission from the engine. The clutch in a manual transmission disengages the engine from the wheels when the vehicle is stopped. This process in an automatic transmission is regulated by the torque converter and transmission fluid. The clutch operates by using friction to keep two shafts connected, one in the transmission and the other in the engine. When the clutch is engaged, the pressure plate pushes against the flywheel, joining the transmission to the engine. The pressure plate pulls away from the flywheel, separating the transmission from the engine if the clutch is disengaged. Switching gears is possible because of the clutch. Other transmissions use cable clutches while some use hydraulic clutches. Routine clutch maintenance is required to keep all moving components operating efficiently in both cases. Please contact us about a service if you are concerned about the functionality of your clutch.​

Clutch Replacement

Approximate Time: 360 Minutes
The engine is always turning when a vehicle is running. The transmission connects to the engine and supplies power to the wheels, but this linkage cannot be constant, since a vehicle is not always in motion. The clutch in a manual transmission engages and disengages the transmission and engine. There are two shafts that the clutch operates: one that connects to the transmission and the other that connects to the engine. The transmission is kept connected to the engine by clutches using friction. The clutch is disengaged when the pressure plate pulls away from the flywheel, separating the transmission from the engine. A pressure plate pushing against a flywheel engages the clutch and joins the transmission to the engine. A clutch in a manual transmission allows your engine to keep spinning even when the vehicle is stopped. The clutch is what allows you to switch gears in a manual transmission vehicle.​

Manual Transmission Repair

Approximate Time: 60 Minutes
While simultaneously regulating power and speed, manual transmissions allow drivers to shift between gears manually. The following sentence has a manual transmission, clutch, flywheel, gear selector fork, collars, gears, and shafts. The engine transmits power to the transmission through a shaft. The clutch is responsible for connecting the shaft to the transmission and disconnecting the shaft from the transmission. The gear selector fork is controlled by the stick shift when choosing gears. The gears and shafts route power from the engine to the transmission and drive wheels. The internal gears, shafts, bearings, and other components are cleaned by manual transmission fluid. The transmission's internal temperatures are regulated by the transmission fluid. A manual transmission service will ensure that your transmission fluid is clean and that the rest of the components are fit for operation.​

Transmission Replacement

Approximate Time: Call for Estimate
The responsibility of the transmission is to route power from the engine to the drive wheels, whether the vehicle has an automatic or manual transmission. The transmission essentially converts the engine's RPMs into torque, which is then transferred to the vehicle's drive wheels. As a vehicle speeds up and slows down, the transmission switches between a range of speeds by shifting gears. The function of transmission fluid is to act as a cooling agent. The fluid in the transmission helps to lubricate the internal gears and prevent corrosion and rust. The transmission filter helps to remove contaminants from the fluid. Routine maintenance for both manual and automatic transmissions is all about keeping the internal components moving and operating as they should. When your transmission's life comes to an end, our service staff will replace it with a quality aftermarket transmission that meets or exceeds the performance standards of the original.​
