Most Shift Problems Are Not the End of the Transmission
Late engagement, a flare between gears or a thump into drive sounds expensive. Often it is old fluid, a solenoid, a sensor or software. Sometimes it is internal wear. Testing is how you find out which.
We scan the system, check the fluid and drive the vehicle to recreate the problem. That goes for automatics, manuals and 4x4 transfer cases alike. If internal damage is confirmed, you get both a rebuild price and a replacement price.
Transmissions are expensive to replace, so a careful diagnosis is worth more here than almost anywhere else on the vehicle. The goal is simple: fix what is actually wrong, and only open the transmission up when the evidence says it needs it.
Signs of Transmission Trouble
Late engagement
A pause before the vehicle moves after selecting drive or reverse.
Slipping
The engine revs rise but the vehicle does not speed up to match.
Harsh or banging shifts
Shifts that thump instead of flowing, often in the first few gears.
Warning light or limp mode
The transmission computer can lock the unit in one gear to protect itself.
Dark or burnt-smelling fluid
Fluid should be clear and smell neutral. Dark, burnt fluid points to overheating.
Transmission Work We Do
Depending on the diagnosis:
Diagnosis
Codes, fluid, pressure and a road test pin down electrical, hydraulic or mechanical faults.
Fluid and filter
Old fluid replaced, which fixes more shift complaints than you might think.
Solenoids and sensors
Replaced without pulling the transmission.
Leaks
Pan gaskets, cooler lines and seals renewed.
Clutches
Clutch, pressure plate and release bearing on manual transmissions.
4x4 and transfer cases
Engagement problems, noises and leaks on four-wheel-drive systems.
Rebuilds
Internal wear repaired when your transmission is worth keeping.
Replacement units
A replacement transmission when that is the better value.
How It Goes

Narrow it down

Repair and road-test
After approval, the work is done and every gear is checked.
