Car transmission and engine repair services

This intimidating problem can seem costly and maybe scary to most vehicle owners. The transmission is a complicated assembly with a lot of intricate pieces.

Noticing problems with the function of your engine doesn’t automatically mean there is something wrong with the engine or the transmission. There are a lot of sensors that translate information throughout your car, these signal or operate within the transmission and overall function of a vehicle. When something goes wrong with these, it can create a series of what appear to be engine malfunction or engine failures ranging in severity.

Our advanced diagnostics tools help us quickly identify whether these issues stem from sensors, electrical connections or a system ground. If or when we do find more serious complications, we can find practical solutions ranging from new or used replacement engines.

Transmission Problems

When your vehicle starts acting up, it almost always causes a mountain of stress when you don’t know what the problem is, or how serious it is. Vehicles are complicated and made of a lot of interconnected systems and moving parts. Some people are tempted to wait and see how the problem they are experiencing progresses before they seek assistance. This can make the problem worse. If the transmission is in question, you could cause permanent damage.

How do you know your transmission is the problem?

There are many transmission issues that are easy fixes – as long as you address them as soon as they come up. To avoid costly transmission repairs, make sure you pay attention to some of these issues and seek servicing quickly:

Check engine or warning Light

An obvious sign that you should seek assistance is when the warning light appears on your dashboard. Sometimes it might be a faulty sensor, but it’s best to get it checked out immediately to make sure.

Other Warning Signs

Leaking Fluid

Seeing fluid on the ground underneath your vehicle means you need to have a crack or leak addressed to prevent further damage. There are a number of reasons transmissions leak fluid. Many leaks are cheap and easy fixes when done quickly. Allowing a leak to continue will only grow the problem and can lead to further internal damage to your engine.

Transmission Slipping or Rough Shifting

If you notice that your transmission seems to be slipping from one gear to the next or feels rough moving between gears, it might signal the beginning of a transmission problem. It can be hard to tell in automatic vehicles, however, noticing that your vehicle feels sluggish, hearing loud “thuds”, unusual noises, or you don’t feel the usual acceleration, your transmission may be in need of repair.

Burning Smell

Smell something burning? Don’t panic, but schedule an appointment with CFM NAPA Autopro. The transmission fluid is likely overheating, signaling there’s a problem with your transmission.

Unusual Noises

earing grinding gears or noises coming from the engine when your vehicle is in neutral, you could be dealing with transmission issues. Make a note of what it sounds like, or if possible, record the noises to help us in our initial inspection.
