Transmission Repair FAQs

We provide transmission checks, filter replacement, cooler hose replacements, and more. Whenever you’re experiencing issues with your vehicle shifting gears, it’s a good idea to go ahead and get your transmission checked.

Your transmission is a critical part of your vehicle’s engine. That’s because it’s main responsibility is to transfer power from your car’s engine to its wheels. How your transmission performs this function depends on whether you have a manual transmission, automatic transmission, or hybrid system. Generally, a transmission transfers just the right amount of torque to each wheel as it’s needed. With stopping, a transmission helps to disengage the engine and is what enables your engine to idle even when the wheels aren’t moving and brakes are applied.

Your transmission fluid is a critical lubricant for the many different components within the system. Transmission fluid helps to minimize friction within these parts but wears down over time. Change intervals vary depending on the vehicle and whether you are running an automatic or manual transmission. In general, newer automatic transmission vehicles need to have a transmission flush between 60,000 and 100,000 miles but some vehicles are actually made to never have a flush. Manual transmissions tend to need to have their fluids changed more often, every 15,000 miles or so for heavy-duty vehicles and every 30,000 to 60,000 miles for general duty vehicles.

Having your transmission fluid flushed is a very important aspect of your vehicle’s required maintenance schedule. As your transmission fluid ages, it’s less able to provide it’s vital job of preventing friction between the many delicate components in your transmission. Flushing and refilling your transmission fluid per the schedule set by your manufacturer is the best way to minimize wear and tear to your system, keep it running smoothly for as long as possible, and to avoid a transmission problem.

Depending on whether your vehicle is an automatic or manual transmission, there are different signs to be on the lookout for that can mean your transmission service is needed. A few of these include:

  • Transmission is having trouble engaging/staying in the proper gear.
  • Your vehicle’s shifting is delayed or skipping gears entirely.
  • You can feel your vehicle slipping as it tries to shift gears.
  • You see leaking transmission fluid.
  • You smell burning.
  • Grinding or humming noises while driving.
  • Your engine is revving excessively high.
