Transmissions: What They Do and Why They Matter
A vehicle’s transmission is an essential system that transfers power from the engine to the wheels. There are two main types of transmissions: automatic and manual. In an automatic transmission, the system shifts gears based on speed and load, while a manual transmission requires the driver to change gears using a clutch pedal and gear lever. Each type has its own set of components and potential issues, but both require regular maintenance to function properly.
Over time, transmission components can experience wear and tear due to friction, heat, and fluid breakdown. Routine maintenance, like fluid checks and timely repairs, is essential for preventing issues such as slipping gears, delayed shifts, and loss of power.
Transmission Services We Provide
Transmission and Clutch Inspections
We use precision instruments like pressure gauges and stethoscopes to assess clutch assemblies, transmissions, driveshafts, drive chains, and rear-axle assemblies.
Automatic Transmission Testing
Our team inspects key components such as bands, clutches, sun gears, planetary gears, oil pumps, valve bodies, electric solenoids, bearings, modulator valves, kickdown cables, and shift linkages. We utilize advanced tools like multimeters, feeler gauges, air pressure systems, dynamometers, and stall tests to ensure accurate diagnoses.
Transmission Fluid and Filter Checks
Fluid levels, quality, and filters are checked and changed if needed to prevent overheating, gear slippage, or poor performance. The frequency of transmission fluid services varies depending on your vehicle type, age, and driving habits, but a general recommendation is every 30,000 to 60,000 miles for most vehicles.
Driveshaft Inspections
We inspect driveshaft components for balance, alignment, U-joint wear, and center support bearing tightness to identify potential causes of vibration or noise.
