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.

If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to have your transmission checked at our shop as soon as possible. Delaying transmission repairs can lead to more serious and costly problems down the line.

Transmission repair is a specialized task best handled by our professionals. It requires technical expertise, diagnostic tools, and a keen understanding of the intricate workings of the transmission system to ensure a successful repair and the optimal performance of your vehicle.

TRANSMISSION REBUILDS & REPLACEMENT OPTIONS

Transmission Rebuild vs Replacement

Transmission rebuilds and replacements are two options that vehicle owners can consider when faced with transmission problems. Both options have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the better option depends on the specific circumstances of the vehicle and the owner's needs and preferences.

About Transmission Rebuilds

A transmission rebuild involves disassembling the transmission, inspecting all the parts, and replacing any worn or damaged parts. The transmission is then reassembled and tested to ensure it functions properly. This option is typically less expensive than a complete transmission replacement, and it can often extend the life of the transmission.

The advantage of a transmission rebuild is that it can often be done more quickly than a complete replacement. It also allows the owner to keep the same transmission that came with the vehicle, which can be important for those who value originality or want to maintain the vehicle's historical value.

About Transmission Replacement

On the other hand, a transmission replacement involves completely removing the old transmission and installing a new one. This option is typically more expensive than a rebuild, but it provides the owner with a new transmission that is likely to last longer than a rebuilt one.

The advantage of a transmission replacement is that it can provide a more reliable and long-lasting solution, especially if the old transmission was severely damaged or had a significant number of worn or damaged parts.

Additionally, a replacement transmission may come with a warranty, providing added peace of mind for the owner.

Ultimately, the decision to rebuild or replace a transmission at our shop depends on the specific circumstances of the vehicle and the owner's needs and preferences.

What is a Transmission Rebuild?

Transmission repair is a complex and intricate process that involves diagnosing and fixing issues within the transmission system of your vehicle. Here's an overview of what's involved in transmission repair:

**1** Transmission Diagnosing: The first step in transmission repair is diagnosing the issue.

**2** Transmission Fluid Check: Low or contaminated fluid can indicate a problem within the transmission system.

**3** External Transmission Inspection: The transmission, along with related components like the torque converter and clutch, is inspected externally for signs of damage, leaks, or wear.

**4** Internal Transmission Inspection: If the issue isn't apparent externally, the transmission might need to be disassembled for an internal inspection. This involves removing the transmission from the vehicle and dismantling it to identify damaged or worn-out parts.

**5** Transmission Replacement Parts: Faulty or worn-out components such as gears, bearings, seals, or the torque converter might need replacement..

**6** Transmission Reassembly: After replacing the damaged parts, the transmission is reassembled.

**7** Reinstalling The Transmission: The repaired transmission is installed back into the vehicle, and all the connections, including the driveshaft and axles, are properly reattached.

**8** Transmission Fluid Refill: Clean and proper transmission fluid is refilled to the recommended level.

**9** Testing: The vehicle is taken for a test drive to ensure the transmission functions correctly.

**10** Post-Transmission Repair Inspection: After the test drive, a final inspection is conducted to check for leaks, unusual sounds, or any signs of malfunction. Adjustments are made if necessary.

**11** Customer Consultation: We discusses the repair process, the parts replaced, and any maintenance tips with the vehicle owner.

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.
