Transmission Repair and Replacement
What does the transmission do?
The transmission in your car, whether manual or automatic, helps to make sure your wheels get the right amount of power at any given speed. Like on a bicycle, cars and trucks need to shift gears to start out and maintain speed.
What is a transmission repair?
A transmission repair works with the parts of the transmission system and, in some cases, the computer software that controls it. We have our friendly, expert technicians thoroughly examine your transmission system to find the cause of your problems and then give you the best information on how to get it working correctly and safely again.
Automatic transmissions
Automatic transmissions are complicated systems but with the proper repair and maintenance they can last a long time. Regular maintenance includes transmission fluid and filter changes. Our Bosch Authorized technicians will look at the seals and gaskets on the transmission. Leaks from these can lead to problems going forward or in reverse, rough shifting and loss of gear ranges. Other repairs to an automatic transmission may include replacement of flywheels, torque converters, transaxles or other parts.
Manual transmissions
Manual transmissions are a bit less complicated than automatic transmissions but still have a lot of moving parts that may need to be repaired or replaced. From a basic synchro replacement to fluid or the repair of the clutch, bearings or transaxle, we can help you.
Transmission replacement
Sometimes it may be the best to do a full replacement of your transmission. A full replacement can extend the life of the vehicle for Yakima drivers who plan to keep their car or truck for a while or to increase the resale value.
