Frequently Asked Questions
Can low fluid cause my transmission to slip?
Yes. Automatic transmissions rely on precise hydraulic pressure to shift gears. Low, leaking, or severely degraded fluid lowers this pressure, leading to slipping gears, overheating, and eventual internal damage.
Is it better to repair or replace a transmission?
It depends entirely on the extent of the damage. Minor issues like faulty solenoids, sensors, or fluid leaks can be repaired cost-effectively. However, if the internal gears or bands have suffered catastrophic wear, a full replacement is often the safest and most economical long-term choice.
How long does a transmission repair take?
Minor external repairs, sensor replacements, or fluid services can usually be completed in a single day. A complete transmission replacement typically takes several days, depending on your vehicle and parts availability.
