General Transmission Service

Regular maintenance is vital to prolonging the life of your transmission. Our general transmission service includes:

Fluid Check and Change: We inspect the transmission fluid for colour, smell, and metal particles. We'll perform a complete fluid change using the manufacturer-recommended fluid if necessary.
Filter Replacement: A clean filter ensures proper fluid flow. We replace the filter to maintain optimal transmission performance.
Pan Inspection: We remove the transmission pan to check for metal shavings or debris that could indicate internal wear.
Adjustment of Bands and Linkages: We adjust the bands and linkages for older vehicles to ensure smooth gear changes.
Computer Diagnostic Scan: We use advanced diagnostic tools to check for any error codes that might indicate transmission issues.
Road Test: We perform a thorough road test to ensure your transmission functions correctly under various driving conditions.

Why Service Transmission regularly

Preventing Wear and Tear: Regular service removes tiny metal particles and other contaminants from your transmission fluid. If left unchecked, these particles can act like sandpaper, gradually wearing down sensitive components.
Early Problem Detection: Regular services allow technicians to spot potential issues before they become significant problems. This can save you from costly repairs down the line.
Improved Fuel Efficiency: A well-maintained transmission operates more efficiently, which can lead to better fuel economy. This means savings at the pump and reduced environmental impact.
Extended Transmission Life: With regular maintenance, your transmission can last the lifetime of your vehicle. Neglect, on the other hand, can lead to premature failure.

Understanding Your Transmission

Driving Habits: If you frequently tow heavy loads, drive frequently in stop-and-go traffic, your transmission may need more frequent service.
Vehicle Age and Mileage: Older vehicles or those with high mileage often require more frequent transmission services to maintain optimal performance.
Transmission Type: Automatic, manual, and CVT transmissions have different service requirements. Understanding your specific type helps in proper maintenance.
Manufacturer Recommendations: For the recommended service intervals, refer to your vehicle's owner's manual. These intervals are based on extensive testing and tailored to your vehicle.

Transmission Rebuild

Sometimes, a transmission may require more than just routine maintenance. If your vehicle needs a transmission rebuild, our expert team is here to help. Our rebuild process includes:

Complete Disassembly: We carefully remove the entire transmission, inspecting each component for wear or damage.
Thorough Cleaning: All parts undergo a meticulous cleaning process to ensure the removal of all debris or old fluid residue.
Component Replacement: We replace worn or damaged parts with only the highest-quality new components, ensuring the durability of your transmission.
Torque Converter Inspection: If the transmission is automatic, The torque converter is checked and replaced if necessary.
Solenoid Testing: We test all solenoids to ensure proper electrical function.
Reassembly: The transmission is carefully reassembled and filled with manufacturer-recommended or one of our suggested performance transmission fluids.
Vehicle Installation and Road Testing: Once the rebuilt transmission is installed, we perform extensive road testing to ensure everything functions perfectly.

When is a Transmission Rebuild Necessary?

Persistent Shifting Issues: If your vehicle consistently has trouble shifting gears, even after routine maintenance, it may indicate internal wear requiring a rebuild.
Unusual Noises: Grinding, whining, or clunking noises from your transmission often signal internal problems that a rebuild can address.
Slipping Gears: If your vehicle suddenly shifts out of gear while driving or struggles to stay in gear, these are signs that internal components may be worn and need rebuilding.
Leaking Transmission Fluid: While small leaks can often be repaired, persistent or significant leaks might indicate more serious issues that a rebuild can resolve.
High Mileage: Transmissions typically last between 150,000 to 200,000 miles. If your vehicle is approaching or exceeding this range, a rebuild can restore your transmission to near brand new

The Benefits of Choosing a Rebuild Over Replacement

Cost-Effective: A rebuild is typically less expensive than a total replacement, especially for older or rare vehicle models.
Retains Original Equipment: Rebuilding lets you keep your vehicle's original transmission, which is particularly important for classic or collector cars.
Addresses Specific Issues: During a rebuild, only the worn or damaged parts are replaced, ensuring that the root causes of problems are directly addressed.
Opportunity for Upgrades: A rebuild allows for the integration of stronger or upgraded components, which can be beneficial if you've modified other vehicle parts for increased performance.
Tailored to Your Vehicle: Unlike a replacement with a generic remanufactured unit, a rebuild is specifically tailored to your vehicle's needs and condition.
