Review fluid condition and levels

Test drive your vehicle to replicate symptoms

Perform pressure and response tests as needed

Inspect related components (coolers, mounts, linkages)

FAQs About Transmission Repair

  • How much does transmission repair cost?

    Costs vary depending on the type of transmission and the issue. We’ll perform a diagnostic first and provide a detailed estimate before starting any work.

  • Can low transmission fluid cause problems?

    Yes — low or dirty fluid can lead to slipping, overheating, and permanent damage. We’ll check fluid condition during diagnostics.

  • Do I need a transmission flush or just a fluid change?

    Not all vehicles require flushes. We’ll follow manufacturer recommendations and inspect fluid quality to determine the right service.

  • Can you rebuild transmissions in-house?

    We handle minor to moderate internal repairs. For full rebuilds, we work with trusted partners and manage the process for you from start to finish.

  • How long does transmission repair take?

    Basic repairs may be completed same-day. More complex jobs, such as clutch replacements or internal fixes, may take a day or more. We’ll give you a time estimate upfront.

Don’t Wait on Transmission Issues

If your transmission isn’t shifting right, don’t wait until it fails completely. The sooner you bring it in, the better your chances of avoiding a full replacement. At ADA’s Auto Repair, we make transmission repair straightforward, honest, and stress-free.
