WARNING SIGNS FOR A TRANSMISSION REPAIR
What Are Some Signs Of Transmission Repair?
There are several symptoms that could indicate that you need a transmission repair. One of the most common signs is difficulty shifting gears. This could manifest as a delay in shifting or a grinding noise when you shift gears.
Another sign that your transmission may need repair is slipping gears. This happens when your car's transmission slips out of gear while you're driving. You may notice that your car is struggling to accelerate or that the engine is revving but the car isn't moving forward as quickly as it should.
Another symptom of transmission trouble is leaking fluid. If you see a red or brown fluid under your car, it could be a sign that your transmission is leaking. You may also notice a burning smell coming from your car, which could indicate that the transmission fluid is overheating.

TRANSMISSION REBUILDS & REPLACEMENT OPTIONS
Should You Rebuild or Replace Your Transmission?
If your transmission is failing, you typically have two options: rebuilding or replacing it. The best choice depends on the extent of damage, cost, and your vehicle’s longevity.
Transmission Rebuild – This process involves disassembling, inspecting, and replacing only the worn or damaged components, keeping the original transmission housing intact. A rebuild can be more cost-effective than a full replacement while restoring performance.
Transmission Replacement – If your transmission has suffered extensive damage, a complete replacement may be the best option. This can include installing a remanufactured or new transmission, ensuring long-term reliability.
Which Option is Right for You?
If you're unsure whether a rebuild or replacement is best, our mechanics can diagnose your transmission issues and recommend the most cost-effective solution. We offer expert transmission repair services to get you back on the road with confidence
Transmission Leak Repair
Transmission oil leaks can be a common problem for many car owners in Barrie, and if not addressed promptly, they can lead to serious issues with the transmission system. Here are a few steps we take at our transmission shop in Barrie to repair a transmission oil leak:
Identify the source of the leak: The first step in fixing a transmission oil leak is to identify where the leak is coming from. We do this by checking for oil stains on the transmission case or nearby components.
Determine the severity of the leak: Once we have identified the source of the leak, we determine how serious it is. A minor leak may only require a simple repair such as replacing a gasket or seal, while a more severe leak may require a complete transmission overhaul or disassembling the transmission to access a broken seal.
Replace the damaged parts: If the leak is caused by a damaged gasket or seal, we replace the damaged part. This may involve removing the transmission from the vehicle and replacing the damaged gasket or seal.
Clean the transmission: Before installing the new gasket or seal, we thoroughly clean the transmission and surrounding components. This will ensure that the new gasket or seal will seal properly and prevent any further leaks.
Refill the transmission fluid: Once the new gasket or seal is installed and the transmission is reinstalled in the vehicle, we refill the transmission fluid to the proper level and use the correct type of fluid called for your vehicle.

Transmission Faqs
Can a damaged transmission be repaired?
A damaged transmission repair can be a simple fluid change or a complete rebuild. Diagnosing a damaged transmission is the first step to a repair. A minor transmission repair includes replacing parts such as a defective solenoids, new gasket to stop transmission leaks, and throttle cable adjustment. With a major transmission repair, this involves removing the transmission completely from the vehicle taking it apart and replacing the old parts for new. The price range to repair a damaged transmission could be anywhere from a $60 fluid flush to a $4,000 rebuild.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a transmission?
Depending on the extent of damage of the transmission, you can get a price for a rebuild or a replacement. Which ever cost comes in more affordable, and considering how long the repair will last will narrow down your option for a rebuilt or replacement transmission.
What does a bad transmission sound like?
Transmission sounds such as humming, buzzing, or clunking, could indicate that a transmission repair is imminent. Other things to be aware of are a vehicle jerking while driving or going into gear along with grinding gears when shifting a manual transmission.
Will the check engine light come on for a transmission repair?
If your check engine light displays it could be a transmission problem. Although it is more likely to be a diagnostics problem or onboard computer and emissions, a lack of engine power is possible result of a transmission fault.
Can you drive with a bad transmission?
With most parts on your vehicle, if it has worn to the point of repair, it’s not a good idea to continue driving in that state. It could pose a safety risk and lead to a more costly repair or both! Is it possible to drive with a bad transmission? Certainly, but with each drive and each shift on a transmission repair will eventually lead to a complete failure. Metal debris from worn transmission parts can end up in other engine fluids such as the coolant which will do considerable damage to other working parts of your vehicle.
How long will a slipping transmission last?
Once a transmission starts slipping, the behavior is unpredictable and can potentially leave you stranded at any time. It’s difficult to diagnose a transmission slip without fully inspecting the vehicle. However, a transmission that is properly maintained with regular fluid flush and ensuring fluid is always topped up can go the distance of up to 200,000 – 300,000 km. If the vehicles transmission has never been serviced and running on the same original transmission oil, it can start slipping below the 10,000 km mark and fail completely.
Is a transmission repair worth it?
If you plan on keeping your vehicle for years to come, a transmission repair is worth it over a new vehicle purchase. As mentioned a repair can be as minor fluid change or a complete rebuild. As such, it’s recommended to diagnose what type of transmission repair will keep your vehicle going and then decide. The cost for inspection is minimal and will shed some light on whether a transmission repair is worth it.
How long will a transmission repair last?
With the proper fix, a transmission repair should perform like a new transmission. If it is a transmission overhaul, then every old part and seal should be replaced for new ones. This essentially makes your transmissions internal parts new except for the transmission housing itself. A well performed transmission repair should go the distance with proper maintenance.
Is a transmission rebuild better than a used transmission?
Rebuilt Transmission Versus Used Transmission
The decision to install a used transmission versus a rebuilt transmission considers the age, use and warranty of the used transmission. You never really know how the used transmission was "driven" and when that used transmission will eventually need a rebuild? Effectively an overhaul is a transmission rebuild. Replacing everything old and worn to fresh new parts.
The transmission casing is generally the only original remaining part of a transmission rebuild. Assuming the transmission casing is in good condition, all internal parts that perform the function of your transmission will be replaced and overhauled with new parts.
The cost of a transmission rebuild varies versus a used transmission replacement. However, when you rebuild the transmission you can be sure the internal parts have been replaced rather then installing a used transmission that may begin to fail. Ultimately it depends on the vehicle owners preference, budget and how much longer you will own the vehicle.
