The transmission is an integral component to your vehicle. Not only is it important but it’s also very complicated, and Keller Neighborhood Auto Service knows all about it. All makes and models, foreign and domestic. If you need a basic transmission fluid and filter service, leak repair, or complete transmission overhaul/rebuild, we have you covered with the best pricing in town.
A transmission takes power from the engine and applies it to the axles in order to put the wheels into motion. The transmission is made of hundreds of moving pieces which makes it more likely for problems to arise.
If you think your transmission isn’t functioning properly then check for some key indicators.
- Fluid leak – this is an easy identifier and a common problem with transmissions. A small puddle on your driveway could lead to an expensive problem. Transmission fluid should be a bright red and not a burnt brown color.
- Noisy in neutral – if your car is making unusual noises while in neutral then it could be a simple fluid check or something more serious like mechanical wear.
- Gear slippage – or it refuses to go into gear. In manual transmissions this problem can happen if the transmission doesn’t respond when pressing down on the clutch. If it gets kicked out of gear and forced back into neutral then you need to have your transmission looked at.
