Maintenance
Transmission fluid should be changed periodically. Your owner's manual should give you the recommended intervals which could be anywhere from 24,000 klms to 160,000 klms. Most transmission experts recommend changing the fluid and filter every 40,000 klms.

Few transmissions have drain plugs to drain the old fluid. In order to get the fluid out, the technician removes the transmission oil pan. This is quite a messy job and generally not recommended for the casual do-it-yourselfer. Even if the transmission has a drain plug, the only way to also change the transmission filter is to remove the pan. When the pan is down, the technician can check for metal shavings and other debris which are indicators of impending transmission problems.

In most cases during these transmission services, only about half the oil is able to be removed from the unit. This is because much of the oil is in the torque converter and cooler lines and cannot be drained without major disassembly. The fluid change intervals are based on the fact that some old fluid remains in the system.

Transmission Rebuild Are you on a tight budget? Then a car transmission rebuild & rebuild will benefit you! A car transmission rebuild replaces specific damaged parts in your current transmission. This is a less expensive option than putting in a brand new car transmission. A car transmission rebuild can save you hundreda of dollars. Instead of replacing an entire transmission you save money by fixing what only what specific parts are bad.
Transmission Repairs our car transmission is a complex and powerful part of your car. The car transmission drives power from your engine to your drive wheels. When a car transmission develops problems, power no longer goes to the wheels resulting in loss of power, poor gas mileage, engine stress and overheating can occur when your transmission is not functioning properly.
Transmission Flush A transmission flush removes old transmission fluid and residue from your transmission. Transmission fluid is a special synthetic substance. Over time transmission fluid builds up residue. This residue can interfere with the performance of your vehicle.
Automatic Transmissions An automatic transmission requires more up keep than manual transmissions. Consequences of operating your vehicle past the recommended service intervals can lead to automatic transmission problems. Old fluid or filters in your transmission can cause overheating, slipping, late shifting and even can cause no movement in your vehicle to occur. If you see your check engine or transmission service light, it’s time to see us now. If you have a transmission that is causing problems then the automatic transmission might just need to be serviced or repaired by our certified transmission specialist.
Standard Transmissions Standard transmissions offer you better gas mileage, shifting and power. But they can develop their own host of problems. Standard transmissions can pop out of gear. They can leak and have no way to check their fluid level on most models. A real trouble sign is when you hear gears grinding or bearing noises. It’s crucial to get your standard transmission checked on a regular basis. We offer a free check-up on your manual transmission so call, email or just stop by today.
Transmission Upgrades Is your transmission shifting hard, soft or not at all? Do you need to save money on a transmission repair or upgrade? Your transmission can have a number of problems. The electronics may be compromised. A faulty transmission control unit may not be allowing you to shift properly. And stock transmissions don’t perform well under heavy loads, stress and heat. Stop these nagging problems with our transmission repair and upgrades.
