Delayed Shifting: A noticeable pause or hesitation when shifting from park to drive or reverse.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do I need a transmission flush?

We generally recommend a transmission flush every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on your manufacturer’s guidelines. However, if you tow or drive in heavy New Albany traffic, you might need it sooner. Clean fluid is essential for cooling and lubricating internal gears.

What is the difference between a rebuild and a replacement?

Transmission rebuilds involve disassembling your existing unit and replacing only the worn or damaged parts, which can be a cost-effective solution. Transmission replacement involves swapping the entire unit with a new or remanufactured one. We help you decide which is best based on the extent of the damage.

How do I check my transmission fluid?

If your vehicle has a dipstick, check it with the engine running and warm. Healthy fluid should be bright red. If it is dark, brown, or smells burnt, you should visit our transmission mechanic immediately. Many modern cars are sealed and require professional equipment to check.

Why is my car hesitating to shift?

Hesitation or delayed shifting is often caused by low fluid, clogged filters, or solenoid issues. It feels like a pause before the gear engages. This is a common transmission issue that should be diagnosed quickly to prevent permanent damage to the clutches or bands.

Do you offer a warranty on repairs?

Yes, we provide an industry-leading warranty on our transmission services. This reflects our confidence in the quality of our parts and labor. It gives you peace of mind knowing that your transmission repair is protected long after you leave our shop.

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.
Q. "Do you offer a shuttle service?"

Yes! we understand you have a full schedule. Whether you need to get to work, school, or need to attend to other responsibilities, we can take you where you need to go. Click here to learn more.
