Transmission Replacement in Akron, Ohio
We Can Replace All Transmission Types
What Involves a Transmission Replacement?
We specialize in transmissions at Millennium Transmission & Auto Care in Akron, Ohio. One of the many services we are proud to offer is transmission replacement. Replacing a transmission is removing a defective transmission and installing a new one. During a replacement, we first remove the old transmission, which involves removing and disconnecting several components, such as the drive shaft, transmission mounts, cooler lines, and electrical and hydraulic connections. To install the new transmission, we reattach and reconnect the same components. We then fill the transmission with transmission fluid and test it to ensure it functions properly. This is a simplified version of how we perform transmission replacements; several steps are involved, but rest assured, we follow each one to a T for a successful service. If you suspect that your transmission is failing or have any questions regarding the process, speak with a member of our transmission replacement team today.
When Do You Need a New Transmission?
The transmission is a critical component that transfers power from the engine to the wheels. The lifespan of a vehicle’s transmission varies on numerous factors, including the type of vehicle, driving conditions, and maintenance history. Generally, a well-maintained transmission can last up to 150,000 miles or more. However, there is no set time or mileage for if or when a transmission will fail, and it is difficult to predict when it will need to be replaced. However, if your transmission starts to exhibit signs of a problem or failure, it’s important you bring your vehicle in for an inspection at your earliest convenience. Symptoms of a transmission issue include grinding or shaking sensations when shifting gears, a delay between the gear shifting and the vehicle moving, leaking fluid, gears that slip or fail to engage, and burning smells. We assure you our competent technicians will perform a thorough inspection to determine the exact issue and the best course of action for your vehicle.
