Frequently Asked Questions
Does every transmission problem mean I need a replacement? No — many symptoms trace back to fluid, a sensor, or a seal, all repairable without replacing the transmission. A proper diagnosis tells you which situation you're in.
What's the difference between a fluid flush and a fluid change? A change drains what's accessible and refills it; a flush cycles new fluid through the entire system. Which is right can depend on your vehicle and service history.
What are the warning signs of a transmission problem? Slipping between gears, delayed or harsh engagement when you shift into drive or reverse, rough or jerky shifts, a burning smell, or a fluid leak are the common ones. A check engine light can be transmission-related too. Any of these is worth a diagnosis before it gets worse.
How often should transmission fluid be serviced? It varies by vehicle — some manufacturers call for service every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, others use fluid they consider a lifetime fill. We can check your fluid's condition and look up the schedule for your specific vehicle.
Is it safe to keep driving with a slipping transmission? It's not a good idea. A transmission that's slipping is usually getting worse, and continuing to drive it can turn a repairable problem into a rebuild or a replacement. It's better to have it checked sooner rather than later.
Do you work on both automatic and manual transmissions? Yes. We service automatics and manuals, including clutch repair and hydraulic clutch work on manual transmissions.
