Encinitas Transmission Repairs

Services

Also referred to as a gearbox, a transmission is an automotive device that is connected to the crankshaft in order to process the output of an internal combustion engine to make the wheels drive the car. The transmission comes with a number of gears (or gear ratios) that can be changed by the driver in cars with manual transmissions or automatically in cars with automatic transmissions. In addition to automatic and manual transmissions, this vital part of a car may also be a hybrid system, a diesel-electric transmission or a hydraulic drive system.

Taking Care of Your Transmission

To ensure that a transmission is running at its best, it's important that vehicle owners follow the car manufacturers guidelines regarding transmission service, as well as other maintenance schedule suggestions. While the recommendations for when a transmission should be serviced will vary according to the type of transmission (as well as the make, model and year of the car), generally, experts recommend that the transmission fluid be inspected every 5,000 miles (starting at 15,000 miles) and be replaced every 25,000 miles.

During inspections, a skilled mechanic can also detect any possible problems associated with the transmission.

Automotive Transmission Troubleshooting

When a transmission is experiencing problems, the car may not start or the transmission may not run smoothly. To get a better idea of what is causing such transmission problems, it is important to determine whether:

• Transmission fluids are sufficient
• The transmission is leaking (leaks can occur at the speed sensor mounting point, the selector shaft, the filler tube base, the drain hole beneath the transmission or the area between the transmission and the engine)
• The transmission filter is clogged
