Common Transmission Issues in Burleson
Burleson's unique climate can affect your vehicle’s transmission. The summer heat, combined with regional driving conditions, can cause increased strain. Drivers should be aware of signs such as slipping gears, delayed shifts, or unusual noises, which may indicate transmission problems. Early intervention can prevent more severe damage and costly repairs.
In addition to temperature spikes, frequent stop-and-go traffic on local roads can accelerate wear and tear on your transmission.

FAQs
-
Q. "What factors determine the price of transmission repair?"Many different factors go into determining costs of transmission repair. The major factor is what type of vehicle you drive. The year, make and model of the car, determine how much parts and labor will cost. Another factor is how much damage the transmission has sustained. Your transmission should last a minimum of 100,000 miles by servicing your transmission on a regular basis.
-
Q. "What does automatic transmission service include?"Fluid is first drained from the pan during an automatic transmission service. A new transmission filter is installed with a new pan gasket once the pan has been removed. Finally, fresh automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is used to refill the vehicle.
-
Q. "Is there a difference between a transmission fluid change and flush?"During a transmission fluid and filter change, it’s only the fluid in the pan that is drained and replaced with new ATF. Four to five quarts of fluid will typically be replaced in this process, while nine to thirteen quarts are replaced during a full transmission fluid flush. The difference in amounts is because the complete flush drains the entire system.
