Frequently Asked Questions

Your car itself will start showing warning signs such as:

  • Slipping gears. 
  • Slow acceleration. 
  • Unusual noises. 
  • Leaking transmission fluid 
  • Strong burning smells. 


Consult a transmission repair shop near you immediately after suspecting these signs to avoid further damage. 

The cost varies depending on whether it’s a minor fix, like replacing a seal, or a major repair, like rebuilding the entire system. Basic repairs can cost $300-$1,500, while full transmission replacements range from $1,500-$4,000. Always get multiple quotes and ask about warranty coverage.

 Simple repairs, such as fluid changes or minor part replacements, take a few hours to a day. More complex repairs, like a transmission rebuild, can take 3-5 days. If parts need to be ordered, the process may take a week or more, so always ask for an estimated timeline.

 Look for mechanics with ASE certification, positive customer reviews, and experience with your car model. Ask if they provide warranty coverage on repairs, as reputable shops usually offer 12 months or 12,000 miles of coverage. Also, ensure they give a clear written estimate before starting work.

  • Diagnosis & Inspection: A mechanic will scan for error codes, check fluid levels, and inspect components for damage.
  • Fluid Change or Flush: Old, contaminated transmission fluid is replaced to ensure smooth performance.
  • Component Repairs: Damaged parts like the clutch, seals, or solenoids may be repaired or replaced.
  • Rebuilding or Replacement: In severe cases, the transmission may need to be fully rebuilt or replaced.
  • Testing & Calibration: After repairs, the system is tested to ensure proper shifting and function.
