Do I Need Transmission Repair?

First and foremost, you may be wondering—how do I know if my ride needs transmission repair? We can provide the answer. Keeping up to date on maintenance is what will keep your model in great condition in the long run. So, it’s good to know if it needs transmission repair.

What are some of the signs that a repair is needed? First, noises in the engine are always a dead giveaway. This is especially apparent when you’re idling in neutral. Likewise, you may smell something burning, notice leaks, or experience grinding and shaking.

Gear slippage and slower engagement is a clear sign that your ride may be due for a transmission replacement.

The Process of Repairing a Transmission

How does one repair a transmission, then? In layman’s terms, the best way to do so is by first flushing out the old transmission fluid. This is quick; however, a complete service includes a few other steps.

You’ll want to conduct a full inspection of the transmission system, including the sump pump or the pan. The pan is cleaned, a new gasket is installed, and the system as a whole is tested. This full service should take a few hours, although sometimes full transmission system repairs can take a few days. This can vary depending on the situation and the condition of your ride.
