What Is Transmission Repair?

Transmission repair refers to any corrective work that restores your vehicle’s transmission to full working order. This can range from replacing a single faulty component (like a solenoid or sensor) to a full internal rebuild or replacement.

Common Transmission Repairs Include:

• Replacing shift solenoids
  
  
• Replacing worn or damaged clutches (automatic or manual)
  
  
• Repairing valve body issues
  
  
• Fixing leaks from seals or gaskets
  
  
• Replacing torque converters
  
  
• Rebuilding worn-out internal components (gears, bands, bearings)
  
  
• Replacing the entire transmission with a remanufactured unit
  
  

At A1 Auto Services, we start with detailed diagnostics, so we don’t just throw expensive parts at your vehicle—we fix the real problem.

Signs You May Need Transmission Repair

Not all transmission problems are obvious. Watch for these warning signs that your transmission may need professional attention:

• Slipping gears during acceleration
  
  
• Delayed or harsh shifting
  
  
• Grinding or whining noises (especially in neutral or reverse)
  
  
• Transmission fluid leaks (red, brown, or black fluid under your car)
  
  
• Burning smell after driving
  
  
• Check engine or transmission warning lights
  
  
• Poor acceleration or engine revs without movement
  
  

The earlier you catch a transmission issue, the better your chances of avoiding a full replacement—and a major repair bill.
