Transmission Problems
Don't Fix Themselves.
Expert transmission repair for automatic, manual, CVT, and dual-clutch systems.
Slipping gears, delayed shifts, rough engagement, or a warning light — transmission problems get worse and more expensive the longer you wait. We diagnose the root cause and give you a written estimate before any work begins. Financing available up to $7,000.
Signs Your Transmission Needs Service
Slipping Gears
The transmission shifts in and out of gear unexpectedly, or the engine revs without acceleration. A serious issue that worsens rapidly.
Delayed Engagement
A pause between shifting into Drive or Reverse and the vehicle actually moving. Low fluid, worn clutch packs, or a failing solenoid.
Rough or Hard Shifts
Clunking, jerking, or harsh shifts between gears. Can indicate low fluid, worn bands, or a failing solenoid.
Transmission Warning Light
The transmission control module has detected a fault. Requires a diagnostic scan to identify the specific code.
Fluid Leak (Red or Brown)
Transmission fluid is red when new, dark brown when old. A leak means low fluid — which causes rapid internal damage.
Burning Smell
Overheating transmission fluid. Usually caused by low fluid level or a clogged cooler. Continued driving causes catastrophic failure.
Grinding or Whining Noise
Worn bearings, damaged gears, or low fluid. The specific noise pattern helps identify the failing component.
Won't Go Into Gear
Could be low fluid, a failed shift solenoid, a broken shift cable, or internal mechanical failure.

Transmission Repair FAQ
How much does a transmission repair cost?
Transmission repair costs vary widely depending on the problem. A fluid service is $250. Solenoid replacement starts at $375. A full transmission rebuild or replacement starts at $2,500. We always perform a diagnostic scan first ($125, applied toward repair) to identify the exact issue before recommending a repair path.
Should I repair or replace my transmission?
It depends on the extent of the damage and the vehicle's value. Minor issues — solenoids, sensors, fluid leaks — are almost always worth repairing. Major internal damage may make a remanufactured replacement more cost-effective. We'll give you an honest assessment of both options with written estimates for each.
How long does a transmission repair take?
A fluid service takes 1–2 hours. Solenoid or sensor replacement: 2–4 hours. Full transmission replacement: 1–2 days. We'll give you an accurate timeline when we diagnose the issue.
Do you work on automatic and manual transmissions?
Yes — both. We service automatic transmissions (including CVTs and dual-clutch units), manual transmissions, clutch systems, transfer cases, and differentials on all makes and models.
Do you service European vehicle transmissions?
Absolutely. European vehicles — especially BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and Porsche — use sophisticated transmission systems including ZF 8-speed automatics, DSG dual-clutch units, and PDK gearboxes. These require factory-level diagnostic software and specialized knowledge. We have both.
