Transmission Repair Services That Your Car May Need

Various issues can arise with a car’s transmission, requiring a visit to a skilled mechanic. While some transmission repairs are straightforward, others involve complex mechanical and electronic engineering. The most common types of repair work we perform include:

Transmission Fluid Change

Transmission fluid isn’t designed to last the lifetime of your vehicle. It needs to be replaced at regular intervals. Over time, heat can break down the fluid, causing discoloration and a burnt smell. If the fluid has deteriorated, it puts you at risk of internal transmission damage. Burnt fluid requires the attention of a professional mechanic.

At McDermott Motors, our trained and experienced professionals specialize in servicing transmissions for various European-made cars. We handle tasks such as inspecting, diagnosing, and repairing components like hydraulic pumps and couplings. Visit us when your transmission fluid needs to be changed.

Transmission Flush

Flushing the transmission every 30,000 miles or so is a good practice. This process involves replacing the old, dirty fluid with fresh, high-quality fluid to ensure better performance. It helps the transmission stay cool and protects against wear on gears, clutches, and bearings. Let our expert auto technicians at McDermott Motors perform a transmission flush using state-of-the-art equipment.

Transmission Replacement & Rebuilding

Depending on the issues your automobile is experiencing, it may be necessary to replace the transmission. If you have difficulty shifting gears or notice fluid leaks, the transmission may no longer function properly. Replacement is often the best solution when performance is severely compromised. The transmission will be completely removed and replaced with a brand-new one.

A transmission overhaul involves rebuilding the system piece by piece. While not all situations require such an extensive procedure, a transmission rebuild can be necessary when it’s impossible to pinpoint the problem or if the damage is extensive. If the transmission is old, our mechanics may opt to replace it with a new one rather than undertaking an overhaul.
