Manual & Automatic Transmission Repair & Service
Many drivers think that only vehicles with manual transmissions need transmission service, but this isn’t the case–even automatic transmissions need regular maintenance to prevent repairs. Transmission fluid service intervals vary by vehicle and driving conditions. Some manuals may require service between 30,000 and 60,000 miles under severe use, while many automatics are serviced between 60,000 and 100,000 miles. You can find specific recommendations for your car in your owner’s manual or ask one of our friendly service advisors to look it up for you.
Transmission service is essential because transmission fluid deteriorates over time. If you do a lot of driving in stop-and-go traffic, haul heavy loads, or tow a trailer, you may need to have your transmission serviced more frequently. These driving conditions increase the transmission’s operating temperature, which breaks the transmission fluid down quicker. Manual transmissions require clutch replacement over time, while automatic transmissions use different internal components that are serviced separately. While clutch lifespan varies, many clutches last tens of thousands of miles depending on driving style and conditions.
Transmission issues can be expensive, so it’s best to schedule an appointment as soon as you notice signs of trouble. Common signs that may affect both manual and automatic transmissions include:
- Difficulty shifting or rough shifting
- A burning smell
- Transmission fluid leaks
- Grinding or shaking when shifting
- Humming, clunking, or whining noises
- The check engine or transmission warning light is on
Manual Transmission Warning Signs:
- Difficulty engaging the clutch
- A dragging clutch
- Strange noises when the vehicle is in neutral
- Vibration when pressing the clutch pedal
Automatic Transmission Warning Signs:
- Slipping gears or delays in acceleration
- The vehicle feels unresponsive when shifting, especially from park to drive
