Are you experiencing the frustrating situation of your transmission slipping? Does your engine shift roughly? Is your vehicle sounding bad when you’re idling? All of these are signs that your transmission may be going bad.

Transmission Replacement

Transmissions can be a little price to repair, rebuild, or replace. They pay a very critical role in your car running properly, though. Your transmission carries power to the drive axle from the engine in different gears which control how fast or slow your vehicle drives. Be sure you trust the crew that takes care of your transmission issues for you.

Automatic Transmission Repair

A transmission repair can definitely save you a lot of money versus having the transmission replaced. If your automatic transmission is failing, you will know. You may put it in drive but it won’t go anywhere. The engine will just rev. Or maybe you can’t go anywhere when you put the car in reverse.

Clutch Adjustment and Inspection

Manual transmissions have a clutch. It engages and disengages the trans from the motor and makes it so that the engine can keep running even when the vehicle is idle. If there isn’t enough freeplay is not ample between the foot clutch and the operating lever, the transmission will malfunction. If it’s too low the clutch is going to slip.
This is where an adjustment becomes necessary. An inspection by your trust repairman will show whether your clutch can be adjusted or if it can be repaired.

Clutch Replacement

In most cars, the gearbox has to be removed before the clutch can be replaced. This makes the job a very time-consuming and somewhat pricy fix. If one part of your clutch fails, it is usually advisable to replace the whole kit, including the pressure plate and release bearing, because you’re going to pay a lot for that gearbox to be removed and replaced after the repairs are done. A good crew has a goal of being proficient and efficient and replacing the whole kit is just more cost-effective in the long run.

Manual Transmission Repair

You may call a manual transmission a stick-shift car. A lot of young people today have no clue what they would do if they got into a vehicle with three pedals. Whatever you call them, the manual transmission is making a comeback. You should get your manual trans checked out if you are experiencing slipping. If you’re hearing a grinding sound when you’re shifting between gears and you know for certain that you’re shifting properly then there may be a problem that demands repair.
