Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does a Transmission Repair Usually Take?
The timeline varies depending on the type of transmission repair your vehicle needs. A simple fluid change or minor adjustment is often a same-day service, while a full rebuild or replacement may take a few days, depending on parts availability and the extent of the damage. We can provide a clear and accurate time estimate after our initial diagnosis.
What’s the Difference Between a Transmission Rebuild and a Replacement?
A rebuild involves removing the transmission, disassembling it, replacing only the worn or damaged internal components, and then reinstalling it. A replacement involves swapping your entire transmission with a new or remanufactured unit. A rebuild can often be a more cost-effective solution if the internal damage isn’t too extensive.
Does Your Murphy Transmission Shop Accept Extended Warranties?
Yes. We work with all major extended warranty providers. When you schedule your appointment, let us know who your carrier is and we can confirm coverage details before your visit. We handle the process so you don’t have to navigate it on your own.
Can Regular Maintenance Really Prevent Major Transmission Problems?
Yes. Regular transmission fluid changes are one of the most effective ways to help prevent major problems. Clean fluid lubricates internal parts, prevents overheating, and helps the transmission shift smoothly, which can significantly extend its life.
How Does Transmission Fluid Get Old or “Break Down”?
Transmission fluid degrades over time due to heat and friction. In Murphy’s hot North Texas climate, this process is accelerated. As the fluid breaks down, it loses its lubricating properties and can no longer effectively protect the transmission’s internal components from wear.
Do You Service Both Automatic and Manual Transmissions?
Yes. We service both automatic and manual transmissions across all vehicle makes and models. Each type has its own fluid specifications, service intervals, and wear patterns, and our ASE-certified technicians are trained to handle both. Whether you’re noticing slipping gears in an automatic or difficult shifting in a manual, bring it to our transmission shop in Murphy and we can diagnose it accurately.

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.
