You can check your transmission fluid to get a good estimate of the age and condition of the fluid. If the transmission fluid is low or burnt, you have a problem. Oftentimes, old or low transmission fluid can result in trouble signs. Some of those problem signs are hard shifting, trouble getting in gear, thumping between gears, slipping gears, jumping gears, whining noise, grinding noise, or acceleration delay. If you have any of these problems, get your vehicle to a transmission shop as soon as possible.

A slipping transmission is a condition where the engine momentarily races while shifting from one gear to another. This can commonly happen in an older vehicle, but it is not limited to happening in other cases. Some cases only require a band adjustment. This common sign of a transmission problem should be checked out by a professional as soon as the “slipping” is noticed.

Not all transmission repairs are major. In fact, the problem can sometimes be resolved by a simple adjustment while the transmission is still installed in the vehicle. Shifting problems that are caused by a faulty sensor, bad connection, or defective solenoid pack, can sometimes be a minor case. If the problem is related to faulty sensors and incorrect computer signal, it may be a simple fix. 

This answer depends greatly on your specific transmission problem. All transmission issues vary from one case to another and rely on several factors. Surprisingly, there are a lot of cases where the transmission will not need to be removed from the vehicle to get repaired. Our technicians consider all the factors during diagnostics and inspections to decide on the best solution to your problem. That way you can make an informed decision on whether to get your transmission repaired or replaced.

A transmission replacement is replacing your current transmission with a re-manufactured transmission instead of getting a transmission rebuild in the shop. Replacing a transmission does not mean a brand-new transmission, but rather, a rebuilt or re-manufactured transmission that is assembled in a factory setting. When opting for a transmission replacement, you should consider all the pros and cons. Our technicians can explain the best solutions for your transmission to help you understand and choose.

A transmission rebuild or complete overhaul is when a transmission is fully removed from the vehicle then disassembled in order to repair the issue. When a transmission needs a complete overhaul, a transmission builder will remove all the parts and either fully replace some depending on the condition or just clean and reinstall them into the transmission. 

A transmission repair does not always require a lot of money, though there are cases where it requires a larger expense. Transmission problems can be caused by numerous different things. Sometimes that problem is a simple fix without the need to remove the transmission from the vehicle, while other times the transmission will need a whole replacement. The cost varies significantly from one case to another. At Eagle Transmission, we provide you with the best, informed options for your specific case after a thorough diagnostic and inspection.

Transmission reseals are performed to repair transmission fluid leaks that are external. A big indication that you may need a transmission reseal is the sign of red oil leaking on the ground from underneath your vehicle. To officially diagnose an external transmission leak, a transmission technician will examine the performance of your transmission and check for signs of leaking from your seals and gaskets. Most external seals are an easy fix that does not require removing the transmission, while seals located in the front of the transmission require removing the transmission to replace the seals. Anytime a transmission repair requires removal of the transmission it will cost you more to repair.
