Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is it worth repairing a transmission or replacing it?

    It depends on the age of the vehicle and the extent of the damage. Minor issues like fluid leaks or solenoid faults are often repairable. However, if the transmission is severely damaged or the vehicle is older, a full rebuild or replacement may be more cost-effective in the long term. A diagnostic check can help make the right call.

  • Can low transmission fluid cause damage?

    Yes — running your transmission with low or dirty fluid can cause internal damage due to overheating or lack of lubrication. Transmission fluid cools, cleans and powers gear shifts, so keeping it topped up and clean is essential to avoid premature wear or failure.

  • What are signs of a transmission problem?

    Look out for delayed gear shifts, slipping gears, grinding noises, jerking during acceleration, or fluid leaks under your car. You might also see a transmission warning light on your dashboard. These symptoms often point to low fluid, worn components, or electrical issues that need diagnosing before they worsen.
