Having the transmission fluid changed or flushed on a regular interval as recommended by the manufacturer can keep your transmission operational and in good condition for much longer. Typically a change of the fluid is recommended every 30-50,000 miles. A single failure can cause expensive repairs. Keeping up with your transmission service is highly recommended.

Transmissions are often one of the most complex and integral parts of your vehicle. Without it you cannot shift gears and are essentially out of transportation. Automatic transmission vehicles change the gear for you automatically as you increase your speed of the vehicle. Because of their constant use and complexity transmissions encounter a lot of wear and tear. Also many drivers neglect the basic transmission service intervals causing more serious transmission work to be required.

Transmission Replacement, Rebuild, or Repair

Let’s be honest, a transmission replacement is not something the average car owner looks forward to. Because you can not operate your vehicle without a working transmission it is necessary for many when there is a failure. Rebuilds can cost as much as a replacement. Often manual transmission work can be less expensive and often may require changing the clutch only

Transmission problems

There are several occurrences that may begin to take place if you have an issue with your transmission.
• Slipping of the transmission between gears, or popping into neutral while driving.
• Grinding or other noises especially when in neutral or trying to change gears.
• The Clutch may stay engaged and cause grinding noises while it is trying to shift gears.
• Delay or a lag in shifts between gears, or a higher RPM when shifting gears.

Each case is unique and should be looked at by a certified mechanic to determine the best recommended course of action.
