Transmission FAQs
My transmission seems to have a leak. What will it cost to repair?
Your transmission could be leaking from the pump, shift lever seals, kickdown seal, electrical connection/s, governor cover, speedometer, rear output seal or axle seals, servo cover/s, filler tube, throttle cable, pan, side cover, cooler lines, and differential cover. The actual source needs to be determined. To give you a good estimate, we need to visually inspect your transmission to see where the leak is actually coming from.
Can I drive with a transmission leak?
Yes, and no. If you continue to replentish your fluid, you could continue to drive, but . . . Ttransmissions are designed to operate normally until the fluid loss is a approximately aquart or more. After the loss of a quart the transmission will begin showing abnormal operating symptoms. This is when internal damage begins. A mere leak can often result in major damage. Often a good inspection can prevent major expense.
How much it will cost to overhaul my transmission?
Sometimes what people think is a transmission problem is really the effect and not the cause. A poorly running engine, restricted exhaust, computer or sensor, poor electrical ground, or other problem not which has nothing to do with the transmission could be your problem. Before we give any estimate, we like to make sure that you really do need an overhauled transmission. After we inspect your transmission we will be happy to give you an estimate based on your model.
How long does a transmission last?
It's hard to predict. There are three major factors in the life expectancy of transmissions: periodic maintenance, maintaining proper fluid level, and driving habits. With proper maintenance, proper fluid levels, and good driving habits can often result in an indefinte life for your transmission.
