Why Transmission Repair is Important

Your transmission gets the power in your car to the wheels. If your transmission is completely broken, your car isn't going anywhere. Not every repair is as crucial to the functioning of your vehicle as a transmission repair.

When You Should Get Transmission Repair

The optimal interval for getting your transmission repaired is every 30,000-60,000 miles. However, if there is leaking transmission fluid, clunky shifting, strange revs, or odd noises, it's probably time for a transmission repair sooner.

The Transmission Repair Process

Here's how your service technician will diagnose a problem with your transmission.

1. Look at the Warning Lights

   The car's internal computer often gives a hint as to the nature of the transmission problem.

2. Test Drive the Vehicle

   There's no better way to have a hands-on idea of what you've been experiencing while driving.

3. Check the Transmission Fluid

   Both the condition of the fluid and the amount of fluid are important.

4. Lift the Vehicle for a Physical Inspection

   From a different angle, transmission lines are easier to see and fix

Cost of Transmission Repair

Transmission repairs have a wide range: between $300-$1,400. It's significantly more expensive to have your transmission rebuilt or replaced, though rare.

Questions to Ask Your Service Technician

Have a conversation with your service technician about what you've been experiencing while driving. Doing so will give them a better idea of where to start when figuring out what's wrong with and fixing your transmission. Keep the dialogue open when your technician calls back, too, and ask about the division between parts and labor. You always want to get a fair deal.

Signs of a Quality Transmission Repair

No more leaks, odd revs, and silky smooth shifts mean that there's a very solid chance you had an excellent transmission repair. If any of these issues are still around, or there are new transmission-related issues, you may have had a shoddy transmission repair.

Caring for Your Vehicle After Transmission Repair

Having your vehicle regularly serviced is the best way to catch transmission problems before they grow more expensive. Stopping vehicles entirely before shifting from drive to reverse is also helpful to preserve your transmission. If you notice any signs like clunky shifts, leaks, or odd revving, you may need your vehicle's transmission to be repaired.
