Transmission Repair In Bradenton, Oneco & Whitfield

 

You know that your vehicle has a transmission system, but do you know what the transmission does? The simplest way to put it is that it transfers power from the engine to the wheels, but your vehicle’s transmission is the furthest thing from simple. This complex system has hundreds of components, including transmission fluid, electrical components, universal joints, and a torque converter. The process of diagnosing transmission issues is equally complex, and in most cases, it requires taking the system apart to discover the problem. If your vehicle’s transmission needs attention, you want to make sure you’re choosing the right mechanics.

What Is Transmission Repair?

Your vehicle’s transmission controls the gear shifts to help it reach different speeds more efficiently. When you include transmission services in your vehicle’s regular maintenance schedule, it keeps the transmission performing as it should, extends its lifespan, and prevents costly future repairs.

Transmission services typically include:

  • Fluid replacement: Transmission fluid cools and lubricates the components, allowing for seamless gear changes. Over time, this fluid can become contaminated or degrade, affecting the transmission's efficiency. Regular fluid replacement helps maintain proper functionality.
  • Filter replacement: The transmission filter prevents debris and contaminants from circulating in the fluid. Replacing this filter during service helps prevent damage to the transmission.
  • Diagnostic checks: Technicians use specialized tools to diagnose electronic and mechanical issues within the transmission. Early detection of problems can prevent major repairs.
  • Seal and gasket inspection: Damaged seals and gaskets can lead to fluid leaks, which can ultimately damage the transmission if not addressed promptly.
  • Clutch inspection: For manual transmissions, clutch inspection and adjustment are essential for smooth gear engagement.

When To Have Your Car's Transmission Repaired: Signs & Symptoms

In order to prevent bigger – and more expensive – repairs, it’s important to understand when your vehicle needs transmission services. Here’s what to look out for:

  • Warning lights: The Check Engine or Transmission light on your dashboard may light up if there's a problem. We provide free performance checks to determine what issues your vehicle is experiencing so that you can make an informed decision.
  • Fluid leaks: Transmission fluid leaks often manifest as reddish or brownish puddles under your vehicle. When your vehicle is leaking transmission fluid, it likely needs resealing. Our technicians will perform a lift inspection to determine where the leak is occurring and then perform the reseal job.
  • Unusual noises: Grinding, whining, or clunking noises while shifting or driving could indicate internal damage.
  • Gear slippage: If your vehicle unexpectedly shifts gears or slips out of gear, it may be an indicator of transmission trouble.
  • Delayed or rough shifting: Difficulty shifting gears or experiencing a noticeable delay between gear changes suggests potential transmission issues.
