Transmission Repair (Gears, Leaks, Seals & Gaskets)


A transmission fluid leak is one of the most common issues that can affect the performance of your vehicle's transmission. Left unchecked, a small leak can turn into a major problem, leading to costly repairs down the line.

Our Transmission Repair Process:

  • Transmission Leak Diagnosis: We begin by identifying the source of the leak using advanced diagnostic tools and visual inspections.

  • Seal and Gasket Replacement: If the leak is caused by a worn-out seal or gasket, we carefully replace it to restore the integrity of your transmission system.

  • Gear and Internal Component Inspection: We inspect the internal components, such as gears and other parts, for wear and tear. If necessary, we perform repairs to ensure everything functions properly.


Why It’s Important: Transmission fluid plays a vital role in lubricating and cooling the transmission system. If there is a leak or damage to internal parts, it can lead to overheating, poor shifting, and eventual transmission failure. Regular transmission inspections and repairs ensure your vehicle operates smoothly and safely.

Transmission Rebuild Service


A transmission rebuild can be an excellent option when your vehicle’s transmission shows signs of wear but isn’t completely beyond repair. Instead of replacing the entire transmission, a rebuild focuses on restoring the existing unit.

Our Transmission Rebuild Process:

  • Disassembly & Inspection: Our technicians disassemble your transmission and carefully inspect each component for wear and damage.

  • Replacement of Worn Parts: We replace only the faulty components, such as gears, seals, or bearings, while keeping the original transmission housing intact.

  • Reassembly & Testing: After rebuilding, we reassemble the transmission and perform rigorous tests to ensure that it functions like new.


Why It’s Important: A rebuild is often more cost-effective than a full replacement and can significantly extend the lifespan of your transmission. It’s a great option if your transmission has sustained moderate damage but is otherwise in good condition.

Full Transmission Replacement


In cases where a transmission is severely damaged beyond repair, a full transmission replacement may be necessary. This involves removing the old transmission and installing a brand-new or remanufactured unit.

Our Transmission Replacement Process:

  • Complete Removal: We carefully remove the old, damaged transmission from your vehicle.

  • Installation of New or Remanufactured Transmission: We install a new or remanufactured transmission, ensuring compatibility with your vehicle’s specifications.

  • System Calibration & Testing: After installation, we calibrate the new transmission and conduct extensive road tests to guarantee smooth shifting and optimal performance.


Why It’s Important: Replacing a broken or severely damaged transmission is essential for restoring your vehicle’s functionality. While more expensive than a rebuild, a full replacement can provide peace of mind with the installation of a brand-new or factory-refurbished transmission. Is Your Transmission Slipping, Shaking, or Making Noise?

TRANSMISSION REBUILD & REPLACEMENT OPTIONS





Should You Rebuild or Replace Your Transmission?


When your transmission is failing, you have two main options: rebuilding or replacing it. The best choice depends on the extent of damage, cost, and your vehicle's lifespan.


Transmission Rebuild


A transmission rebuild involves disassembling the transmission, inspecting its components, and replacing only the worn or damaged parts. The original transmission housing is kept intact. Rebuilding is often a more cost-effective solution compared to a full replacement while restoring the performance of your vehicle.


Transmission Replacement


In cases of severe damage, a complete transmission replacement may be the best option. This involves installing a new or remanufactured transmission, ensuring long-term reliability and optimal performance for your vehicle.



Is a Transmission Rebuild Better Than a Used Transmission?


Rebuilt Transmission Versus Used Transmission


The decision to install a used transmission versus a rebuilt transmission considers the age, use and warranty of the used transmission. You never really know how the used transmission was "driven" and when that used transmission will eventually need a rebuild? Effectively an overhaul is a transmission rebuild. Replacing everything old and worn to fresh new parts.


The transmission casing is generally the only original remaining part of a transmission rebuild. Assuming the transmission casing is in good condition, all internal parts that perform the function of your transmission will be replaced and overhauled with new parts.


How Much Does a Used Transmission Cost Versus a Rebuilt Transmission?


The cost of a transmission rebuild varies versus a used transmission replacement. However, when you rebuild the transmission you can be sure the internal parts have been replaced rather then installing a used transmission that may begin to fail. Ultimately it depends on the vehicle owners preference, budget and how much longer you will own the vehicle.


Which Option is Right for You?


Not sure whether to rebuild or replace your transmission? Our expert mechanics can perform a thorough diagnosis of your transmission's condition and recommend the most cost-effective solution. We specialize in transmission repair and will guide you through the best options to restore your vehicle’s performance.


Common Transmission Issues & When to Seek help


Recognizing the early warning signs of transmission repair can prevent costly breakdowns. Here are the most common symptoms:


✅ Difficulty Shifting Gears – Delayed or rough gear shifts, grinding noises, or hesitation when shifting indicate transmission issues.


✅ Slipping Gears – If your car unexpectedly slips out of gear or struggles to accelerate, your transmission may be failing.


✅ Leaking Transmission Fluid – A red or brown fluid under your vehicle suggests a transmission fluid leak, which can lead to overheating and severe damage.


✅ Burning Smell – Overheated transmission fluid can emit a burnt odor, signaling internal wear or a fluid issue.


✅ Shaking or Strange Noises – A failing transmission may cause vibrations, buzzing, humming, or clunking sounds while driving.


🚗 Don't Ignore These Signs! Delaying a transmission repair can lead to major engine damage and expensive repairs. Our certified mechanics specialize in transmission repair, rebuilds, and replacements to restore smooth performance.

TRANSMISSION REPAIR FAQS

FAQ icon showing the process of diagnosing transmission damage

Can a damaged transmission be repaired?

A transmission repair can be a simple fluid change or a complete rebuild. Diagnosing a damaged transmission is the first step to a repair. A minor transmission repair includes replacing parts such as a defective solenoids, new gasket to stop transmission leaks, and throttle cable adjustment. With a major transmission repair, this involves removing the transmission completely from the vehicle taking it apart and replacing the old parts for new.
FAQ icon showing a slipping transmission

How long will a slipping transmission last?

Once a transmission starts slipping, the behavior is unpredictable and can potentially leave you stranded. A transmission that is properly maintained with a regular fluid flush and ensuring fluid is always topped up can go the distance of up to 200,000 – 300,000 km. If the vehicles transmission has never been serviced and running on the same original transmission oil, it can start slipping below the 100,000 km mark and fail completely.
FAQ icon showing that a transmission repair versus rebuilds depending on the diagnosis and maintenance

Is a transmission repair worth it?

If you plan on keeping your vehicle for years to come, a transmission repair is worth it over a new vehicle purchase. As mentioned a repair can be as minor fluid change or a complete rebuild. As such, it’s recommended to diagnose what type of transmission repair will keep your vehicle going and then decide. The cost for inspection is minimal and will shed some light on whether a transmission repair is worth it.
FAQ icon showing that transmission repair costs vary depending on the damage, comparing rebuild versus replacement options

Is it cheaper to repair or replace a transmission?

Depending on the extent of damage of the transmission, you can get a price for a rebuild or a replacement. Which ever cost comes in more affordable, and considering how long the repair will last will narrow down your option for a rebuilt or replacement transmission. The price range to repair a damaged transmission could be anywhere from a $60 fluid flush to a $4,000 rebuild.
FAQ icon showing that a check engine light can indicate transmission issues

Will the check engine light come on for a transmission repair?

If your check engine light displays it could be a transmission problem. Although it is more likely to be  a diagnostics problem or onboard computer and emissions, a lack of engine power is possible result of a transmission fault.
FAQ icon showing the risks of driving with a bad transmission

Can you drive with a bad transmission?

With most parts on your vehicle, if it has worn to the point of repair, it’s not a good idea to continue driving in that state. It could pose a safety risk and lead to a more costly repair or both! Is it possible to drive with a bad transmission? Certainly, but with each drive and each shift a transmission repair will eventually lead to a complete failure.
