Transmission Repair
What is Transmission Repair?
As a significant part of your vehicle, whether a GMC or Buick transmission, getting repaired could mean a basic fluid flush to swap in a new bath or a complete rebuild or replacement, depending on the severity.
Transmission maintenance usually focuses on what? Common elements are the gears, clutch, fluid, or sensors. Old fluid can leak, gears can slip from a worn-out clutch, and your check engine light can turn on due to faulty sensors.
Understanding Transmission Fluid & Maintenance
So, knowing what a transmission is and what goes into repairing it, let's explore transmission fluid and how keeping it at proper levels will keep your engine running healthy.
Your transmission fluid lubricates moving parts and gear shifts, helping keep friction from building. Getting a transmission flush is vital because old fluid can leak or lose its lubrication, leading to components smashing and grinding. This can result in poor performance, damage to your engine, and a hefty repair bill!
Automatic Transmissions
One of the most common car transmissions, automatic transmissions use hydraulic pressure, sensors, and more to shift gears while you drive, meaning you have one less pedal to push but the potential for significant issues.
With automatic transmissions, faulty sensors that indicate a problem when there isn't one, hydraulic leaks, and gears that slip while you drive can indicate worn-out parts. If your Buick transmission needs a new batch of fluid or suffers from parts that slip or leak, our certified service team goes the extra mile to ensure your Buick or GMC is safe and ready to hit the road again!
Manual Transmission Services
While manual transmissions aren't as standard as they used to be, older GMC trucks still have them! These transmissions require the driver to shift gears by hand via a clutch and gearshift to transfer more power to the wheels while driving. Who can forget drivers teaching others to ease up on the clutch?
Common Manual Transmission Issues
What issues can you encounter with a manual GMC transmission? For example, worn-out clutch slip gears, damaged parts from grinding, or problems with the gearbox could lead to poor acceleration.
