Signs that You Need Transmission Repair Services

If you own a car, you must know how important a good working transmission is. The transmission’s performance and condition affect the operation of your vehicle. Basically, the transmission is what makes your car go forward and back. Can you imagine your car not being able to do this? That will be a total nightmare.

A broken transmission can render your car unusable. To add insult to injury, you will pay thousands of dollars for transmission repair services. No one can predict when their car’s transmission will break but there are signs that can point to it.

Instead of just inspecting your car alone, bring it to a professional car repair center to get your car properly diagnosed and evaluated. The professional car technician can suggest if you need repairs or a rebuilt transmission based on the results.

Is Your Transmission Dying on You?

• Gear Slippage- Transmission gear slippage happens when your car does not accelerate smoothly. There is a jerking motion when you try to accelerate the car and your car’s RPM spikes. To correct this problem, you need transmission repair services.
• Leakage- Every transmission needs fluid. Fluid keeps the transmission lubricated and cool. Park your car on a concrete garage and put a white cloth underneath. The leaking fluid from the transmission appears pinkish. If you see a leak, you better get transmission repair immediately.
• Surging- Surging is a serious transmission problem that may need rebuilt transmission services. When you are driving at a steady speed and you notice that your car starts jerking, that is surging. You may also hear your car’s RPM increasing too. Bring your car to the service center as soon as possible.
• No Action- Non-existent transmission action is when the transmission doesn’t engage. This can be caused by an electronic failure. This is a serious car problem and you need to get it repaired right away. If the problem cannot be repaired anymore, the service center may need to do a rebuilt transmission for you.
• Burning Smell- If you smell something burning while you are driving, this may come from your transmission. If the transmission does not have enough fluid, the corrosive agents will accumulate in the transmission resulting to heat build up. Before transmission overheating happens, drive your car to the nearest service center. Ignoring the problem might cost you an expensive rebuilt transmission service.

Any problem with your transmission can really be a pain. It is inconvenient and time-consuming. Before your car’s transmission dies on you, look ahead for these signs. In addition, never ignore what your car’s dashboard indicates. If your ‘check engine’ light is on, get your car checked in a transmission repair service center.

New and Rebuilt Transmission: Which One Should You Choose?

People always tend to favor new things over rebranded or rebuilt ones. This is also the same when we talk about transmissions. New transmission sounds more appealing. If you have to incur an expense in transmission repairs, why not start with something new so that it will last longer, right? However, you need not dismiss rebuilt transmission haphazardly. There are actually plenty of reasons that rebuilt transmissions are better when it comes to transmission repair.

What is a rebuilt transmission?

A rebuilt transmission is a transmission that underwent replacement of all worn parts. These include all new seals, gaskets, pump seals, new input and output bushings, and all new bands. All the surfaces on drums and steels of a rebuilt transmission have been prepared and redone. The valve body has been completely disassembled. All valves have been hand inspected, rebored, and replaced if worn.

Why do transmissions undergo rebuild?

Transmissions are rebuilt because not any other new transmission can fit well as the original. Imagine this, the transmission of your car was “born” at the factory. It starts out in perfect harmony with its engine. Transmissions are very intricate systems that incorporate multiple gears and rings that must fit together with precision and accuracy while operating at high speeds.  These components are important because they need these every time the vehicle shifts gears, and the transmission gears shift repeatedly on even the shortest journeys. Without transmission rebuild services, it will be hard to find new transmissions every time your transmission encounters a problem.

With a transmission rebuild, the core gears and their alignments will remain the same and will still be ideal for your vehicle even though it involves incorporating many brand new gaskets, seals, and other parts into your vehicle’s old transmission.

The Rebuilt Transmission For You

Transmission rebuild services are cost effective ways to get your car back on the road. A rebuilt transmission promises optimal results and performance. It seems like everything old is new again for you and your vehicle.
