Transmission Repair

---

Many drivers know that when the transmission goes out on your vehicle, it can mean devastating things for your car and your wallet. While sometimes it is better to look for a new vehicle, there is still a good chance that a mechanic can fix it up so that it is running as good as new.

Why Transmission Repair is Important

Many people know that their vehicle has a transmission but aren't quite sure what it does. The transmission uses gears to change the rotation and speed of engine parts to convert the power of the engine to the movement of your car. When something goes wrong with your transmission, your vehicle is most likely going to be stranded without the ability to move.

When You Should Get a Transmission Repair

Transmission problems need to be addressed quickly to avoid further damage to your vehicle. That being said, there are a few things to look out for when it comes to transmission trouble.

Delayed engagement, or when the automatic transmission of a car takes longer than usual to shift gears, can be one thing to look out for. Additionally, if your vehicle slips out of gear, meaning that your vehicle struggles to accelerate or revs higher than appropriate to the acceleration, it can be a problem. Also keep an eye out for unusual humming, grinding, or clunking.

The Transmission Repair Process

Step 1:    Firstly, a service technician will assess your transmission and determine the specific problem you're facing to determine necessary repairs.

Step 2:    Based on the findings in step 1, a technician will then make the necessary repairs. Common repairs include a fluid change, a flush, or a more extensive process such as a rebuild or replacement.

Step 3:    After the necessary repairs have been made, the technician will confirm that the problem was fixed and then you're good to drive.

Cost of Transmission Repairs

Many factors can influence the cost of transmission repairs, including the make, model, and age of the vehicle. The severity of the damage will also influence cost, as well as the type of transmission. Manual transmissions tend to cost less to repair than automatic transmissions.
