Frequently Asked Questions
regarding transmissions.


What's wrong with my car?

Many different symptoms may be associated with transmission problems.

Here are some of the most common ones:

  • slipping
  • grinding
  • lurching
  • shuddering
  • killing the engine at stops or when it's put into drive
  • blinking or flashing lights on the dash or shift lever (some models).


The first step to finding out what is wrong with your vehicle's transmission is expert diagnosis. Our experts will perform a free transmission diagnostic check that includes:

  • check the fluid level
  • check the initial engagement in all selector positions
  • test the transmission integrity under simulated loads
  • check the shift pattern and quality
  • check for leaks check and proper external adjustments

Then we'll advise you on what to do next. We'll either locate and identify the problem and recommend a repair, or recommend additional diagnostic procedures.

How long will it take?

Most minor repairs take only a day. Most major repairs may take up to a week.

How long will the repair last?

We provide a free 12 month/12,000 mile warranty on all transmission work-major or minor-and up to 3 years/36,000 mile warranties for all rebuilt transmissions.
