Transmission Service and Repairs
SERVICE OVERVIEW
Keep Your Transmission Running Smoothly
Your transmission plays an important role in your vehicle’s performance, and repairs can be costly if problems go unaddressed. In automatic transmissions, fluid helps lubricate, cool and support gear changes. Over time, deteriorating fluid can contribute to wear and affect transmission performance.
Common warning signs include rough or delayed gear changes, shuddering during acceleration, slipping gears, unusual whining noises or a burning smell. In manual vehicles, a heavy clutch pedal, difficulty selecting gears or shuddering when taking off may indicate clutch or transmission problems that need attention.

FAQ
Got Questions? We've Got Answers
Find answers to frequently asked questions about transmission servicing, warning signs and repairs.
Check your vehicle's logbook for the recommended service intervals. Many automatic transmissions may benefit from a fluid change between 60,000 and 100,000 kilometres, depending on the vehicle and driving conditions. Towing may require more frequent servicing.
A 'sealed for life' transmission generally means routine fluid changes aren't scheduled. However, the fluid can still deteriorate over time, particularly under demanding driving conditions. Check the manufacturer's recommendations before arranging a fluid change.
Shuddering can indicate an issue with the torque converter, transmission fluid or other components. We'll inspect the vehicle and carry out the necessary tests to help identify the cause.
Yes. We diagnose and replace clutches in manual vehicles. We'll inspect the vehicle to determine whether the issue is related to the clutch or another component.
A transmission service usually takes a few hours, depending on the vehicle and the work required. Repairs may take longer, particularly if parts need to be ordered. We'll provide an estimated timeframe when quoting.
