Transmission Repairs or Replacement

Your transmission has an essential job. It transfers mechanical power from the engine of your car or truck to the wheels. That may not sound like much, but it takes a lot of engineering to make that happen, and it takes a genius to create a system that can do this job reliably over many thousands of miles. Unfortunately, the intricate gears and structures inside your transmission will need to be replaced eventually. Sure, you can help it last a long time with careful driving and regular maintenance- but eventually, transmission repair or transmission replacement will be necessary.

Transmission Replacement Near Me

When your transmission needs repair or replacement, you will almost certainly know that something is wrong. But if you don’t know what the telltale transmission warning signs are, you might end up needing a tow truck. Here are the signs to look for:

Trouble Shifting Gears: One of the surest indications of a failing transmission is the inability to shift gears or difficulty shifting gears. If you drive a manual transmission, this is a sure sign of such trouble. If you drive an automatic, it may take a keener ear to avoid a breakdown situation.
Strange Noises When Shifting: Shifting should be a mostly seamless operation. If you hear strange noises when you shift, trouble shifting gears is almost the next phase. If you get your vehicle into the shop at this phase, you may be able to get by with a repair instead of a full replacement.
The Smell of Burning: If you smell burning, it could be from too much friction inside the gearbox. This is a sign that gears are wearing down and rubbing more than they should, causing transmission fluid to burn.
Fluid Leaking: Transmission fluid is red. If you see red liquid on the ground where you have parked, that’s an almost certain indication of transmission problems. If this goes on too long, you will damage your transmission. Once again, this is a sign that might save you from more expensive repairs if caught early.
Discolored Transmission Fluid: If your transmission fluid is dark, it means that it has been burning from excessive friction inside the gearbox. It could also mean that it has been contaminated with metal or mother debris.
