Transmission Repair

By Howard Bean


Getting a transmission repair can be expensive. The same can be said for having your transmission rebuilt. By far though, the replacement of a transmission is one of the most costly jobs that mechanics do. On average, this can set the customer back anywhere from $1,800 to $3,500 (or sometimes even more). If your motor vehicle has a great deal of damage to it, a rebuild can cost almost as much as a replacement. The higher end transmissions or complete rebuilds will cost the most.

Spare yourself from trouble simply by knowing how to maintain your car's transmission. It won't take much of time, and more importantly, you'll be assured of your safety whenever you go out. Breaking down in the middle of nowhere can be scary. This is the last thing you want to happen. And if you have to leave your car on the road simply because it refuses to run, then you need to find ways to make sure no one steals it.

If you are like most consumers, the thought of those costs makes you want to cringe and run the other way! To save money you may wish to purchase a used or remanufactured transmission instead of a brand new one, and then find a shop that will put it in for a fraction of the cost of most shops. For some individuals however, this is not possible and they instead must head to the local transmission repair shop in their community to get their automobile fixed.

v. If you find difficulties in changing the gears on the downside, then the car transmission is slipping and needs immediate attention.

Tip 2: Replace Fluid with a Recommended Brand First of all, you need to check the transmission fluid regularly. If it has turned brown or muddy, or if it smells like burnt toast, change it immediately. Before you get a bottle of transmission fluid, read through the owner's manual and see the exact kind one that your car needs. Never mix two different types of fluid.

The condition the automobile is in can affect the final price tag for work that a mechanic performs on your car's engine. Newer vehicles that have been well maintained will cost less at the shop than their older counterparts that have been through their share of rough times.

If your car is vintage or is very rare, finding parts to replace, repair or rebuild the transmission could be difficult. In this case, the cost to fix this kind of car will increase.

Take note of the following tips because you can avoid further problems if you don't overwork your vehicle's transmission. Everyone must know basic transmission care and maintenance tips. And if you've invested in your own car, be responsible about it in order to avoid any type of inconvenience.
