Transmission Service & Repair

Ensure the smooth operation of your vehicle with proactive transmission service and timely repairs. Modern Auto Service in Fruitland, ID offers comprehensive maintenance and repair for all types of transmissions.

While the engine generates power, it’s the transmission that transmits this power to your wheels. It also ensures each wheel has the right power to drive at a particular speed. It seamlessly shifts gears to maximize performance and fuel economy.

If your transmission malfunctions, you may not be able to move at all. Because of this, it’s imperative to have proactive transmission service and timely transmission repair whenever required.

At Modern Auto Service, we work on all types of transmissions, including manual, automatic, CVT, dual-clutch, and semi-automatic. So, no matter your vehicle’s transmission, the Modern Auto Service team in Fruitland, ID can repair and service it.

Types of Transmissions

Transmission types may vary depending on the vehicle’s make, model, and market. Here are some examples:

Manual Transmission (MT): Also known as a "stick shift," this type of transmission requires the driver to manually shift gears using a clutch pedal and gear selector. It offers direct control over gear selection and is often preferred by driving enthusiasts.
Automatic Transmission (AT): This transmission type shifts gears automatically without requiring manual input from the driver. It uses a torque converter or dual-clutch system to transition between gears smoothly, providing ease of use and convenience.
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT): A CVT uses a system of pulleys and belts or chains to provide an infinite number of gear ratios. It offers seamless acceleration and improved fuel efficiency by continuously adjusting the gear ratio to match driving conditions.
Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT): DCT combines elements of manual and automatic transmissions. It uses two separate clutches to preselect and engage gears, allowing quick and smooth gear changes without needing a clutch pedal.
Automated Manual Transmission (AMT): An AMT is essentially a manual transmission with automated gear shifting. It uses an electro-hydraulic or electro-pneumatic system to automate the clutch and gear selection, offering improved convenience compared to a standard manual transmission.

Our Transmission Repair & Maintenance Services in Fruitland, ID

Our transmission repair and service encompass various procedures to ensure your transmission system’s proper functioning, longevity, and reliability. Some common transmission tasks that we do include:

Transmission Fluid Flush and Replacement: Regularly flushing and replacing the transmission fluid helps to maintain optimal lubrication and cooling of the transmission components. Fresh fluid helps prevent wear and tear, improves shifting performance, and extends the transmission's lifespan.
Transmission Filter Replacement: The transmission filter prevents contaminants from entering the transmission fluid. Over time, the filter can become clogged, affecting fluid flow and transmission performance. Replacing the filter helps maintain clean fluid and protects the transmission from damage.
Transmission Fluid Leak Repair: Identifying and repairing leaks in the transmission system is crucial to prevent fluid loss, which can lead to overheating and damage to the transmission components. Leaks are typically repaired by replacing faulty seals, gaskets, or other damaged parts.
Transmission System Inspection: Regular inspections of the transmission system help identify any signs of wear, damage, or potential issues. This may include checking for fluid leaks, inspecting seals and gaskets, examining transmission mounts, and evaluating the condition of clutch plates or bands.
Transmission Component Repair or Replacement: If any specific component within the transmission system is damaged or malfunctioning, repair or replacement may be necessary. This can include repairing or replacing worn-out clutch plates, bands, solenoids, sensors, or other internal components.

Only qualified technicians with experience and expertise should perform your transmission’s repair and servicing. Regular maintenance and addressing any transmission issues promptly can help avoid costly repairs and ensure the smooth operation of your vehicle.

How Do I Know I Need Transmission Service or Repair

As with most parts of your vehicle, your transmission may offer distinct signs and warning indicators when it needs repair. Some of the most common warning signs that you need transmission service are:

The transmission will not switch gears.
There is a foul burning smell.
You hear weird noises coming from your vehicle when in neutral.
Your gears are slipping.
Your clutch drags.
The transmission is leaking fluid.
You hear humming, whining, or clunking noises.
Your vehicle is unresponsive when you change gears, specifically from park to drive.

If your transmission displays any of these signs, the worst thing you can do is ignore it. When promptly addressed, the mechanic at Modern Auto Service can quickly repair the problem. However, if you ignore these signs, a small transmission service can quickly snowball into an exponentially more expensive repair.
