FOREIGN AN DOMETSIC
Automatics transmissions have changed over the years . We at Clutch & Transmission Technicians strive to keep up with today’s transmissions by constantly updating our equipment and attending several seminars,. This coupled with tech lines and a state of art diagnostic room, we are able to diagnose and repair your transmission in a timely and cost effective manner. Gone are the days of the three speed automatics that had a vacuum line or tv cable controlling the transmission in which a quick trip around the block would let you diagnose the problem.
Most vehicles now have overdrive transmissions to reduce engine rpms and increase fuel mileage.
Today’s overdrive transmissions are computer controlled and have an elaborate computer system that controls the transmission. These are far more complex to diagnose as there is a computer along with many sensors and solenoids that control the operation of the transmission. What may seem like a major transmission failure, may be as simple as a sensor or solenoid that has failed. This is why it is important to have the right equipment and knowledge, gained from experience,seminars and tech lines to diagnose them properly.
It is very important to have your transmission checked out at the first sign of a problem. Some signs that you may be having a transmission problem are:
Lack of power , delayed engagement into gear or slipping
A sudden change in shifting, early shifts, late shifts, harsh shifts or no shifts, rpms higher than normal
Check transmission or check engine light on
Transmission fluid leaking
We have repaired many transmissions that have appeared to need major repairs with a simple sensor or solenoid . Should your transmission need rebuilding, we are constantly researching material to update and build your transmission stronger than original.
It is very important to service your overdrive transmission regularly due to the solenoids and small valves that can stick and cause problems. See service page.
