Frequently Asked Questions About Transmission Services
What Are the Signs of Transmission Problems?
Transmission problems can manifest in a variety of ways, including slipping gears, odd noises such as humming, grinding, or clunking, and difficulty changing gears. It’s also common to notice a delayed response or detect a burning smell. If you spot any of these symptoms, bring your vehicle to a trusted San Antonio transmission shop for a complete diagnostic inspection as soon as possible. Ignoring these signs could result in more complex damage, potentially requiring a full transmission rebuild or replacement.
Why Is Regular Transmission Maintenance Important?
Regular transmission maintenance is crucial to keeping your transmission healthy and extending its service life. Transmission fluid naturally breaks down over time, compromising lubrication and exposing gears and other components to excessive wear. Choosing a reliable transmission shop in San Antonio for fluid changes and periodic inspections reduces the risk of major breakdowns and expensive repairs, letting you drive confidently throughout the busy streets and highways of our city.
Can a Transmission Problem Cause Other Car Issues?
A faulty transmission can cause a ripple effect throughout your vehicle, putting extra stress on your engine and potentially causing loss of power, stalling, or difficulty accelerating. By promptly addressing any transmission concern at our San Antonio transmission shop, you can protect not just your gearbox but the safety and performance of your entire vehicle.

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.
