TRANSMISSION SERVICE IN OK


Transmission Service and Repairs Near Porter, OK

The transmission is one of the most important systems of your car. Part of the drivetrain, the transmission, transfers power from the engine to the wheels so your vehicle can move. If it is failing or not working at all, your car will be inoperable. Thankfully, you can avoid expensive repairs, stress, and hassles by taking care of the transmission.

When you bring your car to Jay Hodge Chevrolet of Muskogee or our auto shop near Porter, OK, we can tune up the transmission and help it to work smoothly and last longer.

To service your transmission, our knowledgeable, certified technicians will inspect the entire drivetrain and all the components. We'll look closely at the transmission and determine whether there are any concerns. With preventive transmission service, our team will drain the fluid currently in the transmission, drop the pan, and put in fresh, new transmission fluid. This helps the moving components to work properly and effectively. In addition, our technicians can also install new gaskets if needed.

Never procrastinate on your transmission service. The longer you wait, the more at risk the transmission will be for having problems or going out completely. You should review the owner's manual of your vehicle for guidance on how often you should do transmission service and maintenance. Generally, you should bring your vehicle to us for this service when it hits the 100,000-mile mark.

However, you may need to let the team at Jay Hodge Chevrolet of Muskogee handle this service much earlier, as soon as your car reaches 60,000 miles. Exact mileage intervals depend on your make, model, and driving habits

Signs of a Failing Transmission

This doesn't mean you should ignore the warning signs of a faltering transmission. Here are some signs to look out for:

  • Difficulty shifting from gear to gear:If the transmission is not responsive or if the car slips gears, come and see us right away.
  • Odd noises such as buzzing or humming:These noises may be made by loose components or hardware that need to be tightened or replaced.
  • Leaking transmission fluid:It's best to bring your car to an auto shop if you see a reddish, sweet-smelling fluid pooling under your car. An experienced mechanic can easily check transmission fluid levels and top it up if needed.
  • A burning odor:This unpleasant smell may indicate old or burning transmission oil, which you need to replace immediately.
  • Grinding or jerking when you put the car in gear:This tends to be more common in cars with an automatic transmission. These may indicate low transmission fluid levels.
  • Warning lights:You may also notice some warning lights activated on your dashboard. These lights mean that it's time to visit your nearest car repair center.

You could find yourself stranded in the middle of nowhere with a vehicle that won't budge. At this point, getting your transmission back in good working order would require extensive, costly repairs

Moreover, there are some transmission maintenance procedures that are best left to the experts. For instance, our expert mechanics can ensure that fluid changes and filter replacements are done correctly the first time. This helps you save time and money.
