Reliable Transmission Repair Services In Cary & Raleigh, NC

You’re likely aware that your car has a transmission system, but you might not know what it does. To put it simply, it transfers power from the engine to the wheels – but the transmission is anything but simple. It’s a complex system made of hundreds of components, including transmission fluid, electrical components, universal joints, and a torque converter. Diagnosing issues with the transmission is equally complex and can involve taking the whole unit apart to discover the problem, replace any broken parts, and rebuild the transmission again. If your vehicle’s transmission needs to be rebuilt or replaced, it’s crucial to bring it to specialized transmission mechanics that are trained to fix any automotive transmission issue.

Milex - Mr. Transmission is Cary’s trusted name in transmission repair and maintenance. Our ASE-certified mechanics know what it takes to make sure your transmission is properly cared for. After our thorough inspection, repairs, and testing, you can feel confident that your vehicle is road ready. 

What Is Transmission Service?

By controlling the gear shifts, your vehicle’s transmission allows it to reach different speeds efficiently. Savvy motorists know that including auto transmission repair services in your regular maintenance schedule not only keeps it performing as it should, but also extends the lifespan of the transmission and prevents costly future repairs. Transmission repair and maintenance services typically include:

  • Fluid replacement: Transmission fluid cools and lubricates the components, allowing for seamless gear changes. Over time, this fluid can become contaminated or degrade, affecting the transmission's efficiency. Regular fluid replacement helps maintain proper functionality.
  • Filter replacement: The transmission filter prevents debris and contaminants from circulating in the fluid. Replacing this filter during service helps prevent damage to the transmission.
  • Diagnostic checks: Our trained transmission mechanics use specialized tools to diagnose electronic and mechanical issues within the transmission. Early detection of problems can help prevent major transmission rebuilds or replacements in the future.
  • Seal and gasket inspection: Damaged seals and gaskets can lead to transmission fluid leaks, which can ultimately damage the transmission's internal gears if not addressed promptly.
  • Clutch inspection: For manual transmissions, clutch inspection and adjustment are essential for smooth gear engagement.

When to Repair a Transmission: Signs & Symptoms

Knowing when to bring your vehicle in for transmission repair services can stop issues from getting bigger – and more expensive. Here’s what to look out for:

  • Warning lights: The Check Engine or Transmission light on your dashboard may light up if there's a problem. We provide free performance checks to determine what issues your vehicle is experiencing so that you can make an informed decision on any potential transmission rebuild or replacement services needed.
  • Fluid leaks: Transmission fluid leaks often manifest as reddish or brownish puddles under your vehicle. When your vehicle is leaking transmission fluid, a reseal job is most likely needed. Our technicians will perform a lift inspection to determine where the leak is occurring and then perform the reseal job.
  • Unusual noises: Grinding, whining, or clunking noises while shifting or driving could indicate internal damage.
  • Gear slippage: If your vehicle unexpectedly shifts gears or slips out of gear, it may be an indicator of transmission trouble.
  • Delayed or rough shifting: Difficulty shifting gears or experiencing a noticeable delay between gear changes suggests potential transmission issues.

 How Much Does Transmission Repair Cost?

Staying on top of preventative transmission maintenance can help prevent expensive repairs and total transmission replacement, but transmission repair costs vary widely depending on a number of factors. These include what is wrong with the transmission, what parts are needing to be fixed, the extent of the damage, whether your transmission is manual or automatic, and the make and model of your vehicle.
