Transmission Services at Dave & Ray’s

Our technicians have decades of experience diagnosing and repairing both automatic and manual transmissions on domestic and import vehicles. We handle transmission fluid and filter service, transmission diagnostic scan and fault code reading, solenoid and sensor replacement, torque converter inspection and service, clutch inspection and replacement (manual transmissions), transmission cooler service, and transmission rebuild and replacement for vehicles where that is the most cost-effective solution. We’ll give you an honest assessment of what your transmission actually needs, not the most expensive option.

Warning Signs of Transmission Problems

Transmission problems rarely appear without warning; the trouble is that the early signs are easy to dismiss. Catching a transmission issue early is often the difference between a simple fluid service and a full rebuild, a gap of thousands of dollars. Watch for common warning signs like:

• Gears that slip unexpectedly during acceleration
• Delayed, harsh, or rough shifting between gears
• A burning smell, often caused by overheated or degraded transmission fluid
• A check engine light combined with hesitation, shuddering, or poor acceleration
• The transmission refusing to shift out of a low gear or getting “stuck” in one gear
• Transmission fluid that is dark red, brown, or has a burnt odor instead of being bright red
• Unusual noises such as whining, clunking, or grinding when the vehicle is in gear

If you notice any of these symptoms, it is best to have your vehicle inspected before the damage spreads to more expensive internal components.
