Transmission Repair in Chicago, IL

Transmission Symptoms, Services, And Repairs

If you recognize the signs of transmission trouble, bring your transportation to Zepeda Auto Service sooner rather than later. Transmission problems don’t get better if left unaddressed and tend to worsen rapidly. A burning odor could point toward lacking or improper transmission fluid. This is needed to lubricate and cool the internal components. Another troubling sign is a delay between the time you press the accelerator and the movement of your car. Also, difficult or grinding shifts are noticed as a problem. Finally, slipping gears is a condition that allows your automobile to move in and out of gear or between gears without warning. It is not only mechanically problematic, but also dangerous. Depending upon the specific issue with your unit, our professional technicians perform the work you need to restore normal function. For example, old fluid can be replaced in a transmission fluid change, while dirty fluid will likely require a flush. We can replace a worn clutch for manual models to ensure your ability to shift properly. For more serious internal problems, options include transmission replacement or rebuild. As the name suggests, replacement entails removing your current unit and installing another. This comes with all new parts and a new component warranty. Typically, less expensive and time-consuming, a transmission rebuild involves separating the existing unit and cleaning each piece. The damaged items, gaskets, and seals are replaced before the unit is reassembled. Although the complete function is restored, the trade-off for less time and money is that another part not replaced could go out at any time. We’re glad to talk with you about risk versus reward.
