Every rebuild includes a thorough cleaning, inspection of all components, and replacement of worn parts. We use high-quality seals, gaskets, and friction materials to ensure long-lasting performance.
Manual Transmission Repair & Clutch Service
We handle everything from clutch replacement to complete transmission overhauls for manual gearboxes.
Manual transmission services:
- Complete clutch replacement (disc, pressure plate, release bearing)
- Hydraulic clutch system repair (master and slave cylinders)
- Shift linkage adjustment and repair
- Synchronizer replacement
- Input shaft bearing replacement

Whether you’re dealing with a slipping clutch, grinding gears, or difficulty shifting, we’ll diagnose the root cause and provide a cost-effective solution.
Transmission Maintenance and Fluid Exchange
Regular transmission fluid exchange is the single most important maintenance service you can perform to extend your transmission’s life. Old, contaminated fluid causes increased friction, heat, and wear that leads to expensive repairs.
Our transmission fluid change service includes:
- Fluid exchange
- New filter installation
- New high-quality ATF specific to your vehicle
- Pan gasket replacement
- Multi-point inspection
- Computer scan for stored trouble codes
We recommend transmission fluid exchange every 30,000-60,000 miles, depending on your driving conditions. Towing, stop-and-go traffic, and extreme temperatures require more frequent service.
Cost comparison: A $150-$250 fluid exchange today can prevent a $2,500-$4,500 rebuild tomorrow.
Advanced Transmission Inspection and Diagnostic
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of quality transmission repair. We invest in the latest diagnostic equipment and training to ensure we identify the exact problem before starting any work.
Non-Electric Diagnosis
Not all transmission problems are electronic. Our technicians perform comprehensive mechanical inspections including:
- Road test evaluation to replicate symptoms
- Fluid condition analysis (color, smell, contamination)
- Pressure testing of hydraulic circuits
- Visual inspection for leaks and external damage
- Pan drop inspection to check for metal shavings or debris
- Linkage and cable adjustment verification
These mechanical diagnostics often reveal issues that computer scans can’t detect, such as worn clutch packs, damaged bands, or internal seal leaks.
Electrical Diagnosis & Computer Systems
Modern transmissions rely heavily on electronic controls, sensors, and solenoids. We use factory-level scan tools to access transmission control modules and retrieve detailed fault codes.
Our electrical diagnostic services include:
- Complete computer system scan
- Solenoid performance testing
- Sensor circuit testing (speed sensors, pressure sensors, temperature sensors)
- Wiring harness inspection and repair
- Transmission control module (TCM) testing and programming
- Adaptation and relearning procedures after repairs
Many transmission problems that feel mechanical are actually caused by faulty sensors or electrical components. Our diagnostic approach examines both mechanical and electrical systems to find the true cause.

Transmission Band Adjustments
Some transmissions use internal bands to control gear engagement. Over time, these bands wear and require periodic adjustment to maintain proper shift quality and prevent slipping.
Band adjustments are typically needed on older transmissions or high-mileage vehicles. This service can often restore proper shifting without requiring a complete rebuild, saving you thousands of dollars.
We’ll inspect your transmission to determine if band adjustment is appropriate or if more extensive repairs are needed.
4 Signs You Need Immediate Transmission Repair
The most common signs you need immediate transmission repair include slipping gears or delayed engagement, burning smell or leaking fluid, grinding noises or shaking, and dashboard warning lights. If you experience any of these symptoms, schedule a diagnostic appointment right away.
Slipping gears or delayed engagement
RPMs increase without acceleration, delayed response when shifting into gear, or transmission hunting between gears. Often caused by low fluid, worn clutches, or faulty solenoids.
Burning smell or leaking fluid
Red or brown puddles under your vehicle, burnt odor, or visible fluid spots on your driveway. Transmission fluid is essential for proper operation, and even small leaks require immediate attention.
Grinding noises or shaking
Unusual sounds during acceleration, clunking when shifting, or vibration at certain speeds indicate worn bearings, damaged gears, or torque converter issues.
Dashboard warning lights
Check engine light, transmission temperature warning, or transmission-specific symbols mean your vehicle’s computer has detected a problem. We offer free diagnostic scans to identify the exact issue.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does transmission repair cost?
- Fluid exchange services: typically $150–$500
- Minor transmission repairs (like solenoids or sensors): $300–$800
- Complete rebuilds or new transmission installations: $4,500–$7,500
We always provide a free inspection and a written estimate before beginning any automotive work. This ensures your transmission needs and budget are clearly understood before we start.
How long does a transmission rebuild take?
Most transmission rebuilds take 2-3 business days, depending on parts availability and the vehicle’s complexity. During the rebuild, our technicians disassemble, clean, and recondition internal components, replacing worn parts with manufacturer’s recommended replacements. This ensures your vehicle’s transmission delivers smooth shifting, proper hydraulic pressure, and long-term reliability.
What's included in your transmission services warranty?
Our comprehensive warranty applies to all transmission rebuilds and new installations. For these major services, we exclusively use high-quality components from trusted suppliers. These parts come with a superior manufacturer warranty, often extending up to 3 Years or 100,000 Miles, whichever comes first. This exceptional parts coverage is nationally recognized, ensuring your dependability wherever you drive.
Can I just add transmission fluid instead of getting an exchange?
Simply adding fluid won’t remove old fluid, sludge, or contaminants from your vehicle’s transmission system.
A transmission fluid change service (pan drop) replaces about 40% of the old transmission fluid.
Some auto care offer fluid flush, also known as power flushing, which claims to remove up to 95% of contaminated ATF (automatic transmission fluid). However, fluid flush can actually cause damage in the transmission so we typically recommend exchanges.
Regularly scheduled transmission maintenance keeps your gears clean and lubricated, extending the life of your transmission.
Do you offer financing on transmission services?
Yes, we offer flexible financing options through Klarna, allowing you to pay over time for your transmission repair and auto care services. Whether you need a new transmission or rebuild, you can schedule an appointment and ask about flexible payment plans or deposits. We’ll help you get your car back on the road without financial strain.
How much is a transmission inspection?
A full transmission inspection with computer scanning and fluid analysis usually costs $100–$150.
If you move forward with transmission repair, we often waive the inspection fee. During the check, we look for warning signs like leaks, delayed shifting, or hydraulic pressure loss to prevent major transmission trouble later.
How long does a transmission diagnostic take?
A standard diagnosis takes about 1-2 hours, including road testing, computer scanning, and fluid analysis. However, more complicated diagnostics can take several hours, depending upon the issue. We will first inspect the issue and let you know how long it might take so you can plan accordingly.
What is the difference between manual transmission vs automatic transmission service?
Manual transmissions rely on gear oil and a hydraulic clutch system, so service includes clutch inspection, gear oil replacement, and differential checks.
Automatic transmission maintenance focuses on automatic transmission fluid exchange, filter changes, and computer diagnostics to ensure proper hydraulic pressure and torque delivery. Automatics require more frequent maintenance.
Following your vehicle manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule keeps both systems clean and free from sludge or debris.
What maintenance does a CVT transmission need?
CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) systems are more sensitive to fluid breakdown and sludge buildup. Manufacturers recommend a CVT fluid exchange every 30,000–50,000 miles using CVT-specific ATF. Regular maintenance services prevent belt or chain wear, maintain hydraulic performance, and protect against costly CVT replacement. Always check your owner’s manual for your vehicle’s exact maintenance intervals.
