Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Should I Have My Transmission Checked?
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity of your transmission. We recommend having it checked every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. However, you should schedule a check immediately if you experience symptoms like slipping or unusual noises.
Regular checks can identify potential issues before they become serious problems, saving you time and cost in the long run. Scheduling routine maintenance in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines is a proactive approach to vehicle care and overall safety.
What Are the Signs My Transmission Needs Repair?
Common signs include hesitation or stalling before shifting, leaking transmission fluid, a grinding or shaking sensation, and a burning smell under the hood. If you notice any of these issues, it’s crucial to contact a professional transmission mechanic in Mansfield right away.
Addressing these warning signs promptly can prevent further damage to your vehicle. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to more extensive problems, potentially requiring more costly repairs or even a full transmission replacement.
Is a Transmission Flush Necessary?
A transmission flush can be beneficial for removing old fluid and contaminants, prolonging the life of the transmission. It's typically recommended every 30,000 miles, but it depends on your vehicle type and driving conditions.
During a flush, we replace the old transmission fluid with new, high-quality fluid, which helps in reducing wear and tear, and improving overall performance. This simple yet effective service can enhance your vehicle's efficiency and prevent unnecessary strain on the transmission components.

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.
