Free Comprehensive External Check a simple, yet comprehensive approach to determining your transmission or drive train problem.
- Fluid levels. The level of your transmission fluid is crucial to the transmissions life. It is the coolant, the hydraulic fluid, and the lubricant. It also should be free of particles, clear in color, and odorless.
- Road test. During the road test of your automobile we'll check for shifting sequences, variations in operating ranges for gear selections, slipping, etc. You may accompany our driver/technician and he will explain what is happening.
- Engine operation. We'll check for possible problems that would appear to be transmission related. If your engine is not functioning properly, it will have a definite effect on the efficiency of your transmission. We will diagnose the problem regardless of whether it is the transmission or the engine.
- Axles, CV joints, boots, etc. A failing universal sounds bad and shakes the car. It’s a minor part and replaced easily. CV joints and boots will do the same, although a little more costly to replace.
- Transmission and engine mounts. A bad mount will cause the engine and transmission to move under power and change the shifting sequences of your transmission.
- Leaks and seeps. A bad seal or loose connections could cause loss of fluid significant enough to drop levels to a point where operation is effected, normally a simple repair.
- Drive shaft and undercarriage. Moving parts that could cause a problem that might sound or act like a transmission related difficulty when actually it’s really something else.
- Check all linkages. Worn and damaged parts cause erratic behavior in shifting and also computer and sequence processing.
- Cooling system operation. Your automobile’s cooling system keeps the temperature of your engine within normal operating range. What you don’t see on your instrument panel is the operating temperature of your transmission. Overheating is a certain death to a transmission. We’ll also check all other peripheral areas for leaks including brake cylinders, power steering, etc.
- Differential operation. We'll check for leaks and evidence of bearing or gear noise.
- Transmission pan. We'll drop the transmission pan to check for excessive metal in the pan or in the filter. Obvious broken metal parts in the pan are indicative of the need for further exploration into the internal parts of the transmission. These large metal parts are from some hard part within the transmission that has failed and will continue to get worse, causing even more interior damage and greater cost to you for repairs.
