Transmission Repair
At Your Mechanic, we’re experts at keeping your transmission operating properly. Regularly scheduled servicing is the key.
Any issues you might experience could be as simple as low fluid levels, or worse, as extensive as internal damage. Either way, it's important to have the issue checked as soon as possible so that necessary repairs can be made.
We help you keep that schedule to avoid having a major transmission repair.
Signs Your Transmission Has A Problem
One of the most common symptoms of a failing transmission is strange noises coming from the engine area. If you hear grinding, whining, or buzzing sounds when shifting gears, it's likely that there is an issue with your transmission. This could be caused by low fluid levels, worn-out bearings, or other internal damage.
Another sign that your transmission needs service is if the vehicle begins to slip out of gear while driving. This can be extremely dangerous, as it can cause the vehicle to lose power and control. If you notice this happening, it's important to get to a safe place and turn off the engine until you can have the transmission inspected by a professional.
If your vehicle is having trouble shifting gears or seems to be "stuck" in one gear, this could also indicate a problem with the transmission. This is usually caused by low fluid levels or internal damage. Either way, it's important to have the issue checked out as soon as possible so that necessary repairs can be made.
When Is It Time For Service?
If you notice any of these symptoms, or if your vehicle simply isn't driving like it used to, it's important to bring it in for transmission service right away. By catching the problem early, you can avoid more serious damage and keep your vehicle running smoothly for many miles to come.
Most transmissions can be rebuilt making them last much longer. With that said, here are five signs it’s time to rebuild your transmission.
