At the first indication of a transmission issue, you’ll want to make it a top priority to have the mechanic take a look. Transmission problems are notorious for rapidly worsening, but by acting quickly, you’ll have the best chance to address the issue before it escalates. At Raptor Transmission, we provide expert transmission service in the greater Houston, TX area. Here’s a brief overview of our top transmission services in Harris County.

Transmission Repair 

Transmission fluid leaks are a common problem, making it important to be familiar with signs of such leaks. One sign is that there’s reddish-colored fluid on the ground beneath your vehicle, and if the fluid smells slightly sweet, then you have further evidence that it is indeed transmission fluid. Another potential indication of a leak is that you check your transmission fluid and the dipstick is showing a very low reading. Gear slippage is another common transmission issue that means your car needs to be seen by the mechanic ASAP. If you’re driving along and your car abruptly pops out of gear, then there could be contaminants in your transmission fluid that are obstructing the fluid’s flow. Consequently, fluid pressure drops to the point that your car won’t stay dependably in gear. Rough shifting and delayed shifting are other common issues that should be brought to the mechanic’s attention. And in manual transmissions, you’ll want to watch out for signs of clutch trouble, such as grinding and burning odors, as well as a clutch pedal that is noisy or spongy.

Transmission Fluid Exchange

Vehicles commonly need their transmission fluid to be exchanged somewhere between 30,000 and 50,000 miles, and it’s important to check your owner’s manual to see precisely how often your car requires this service. During a transmission fluid exchange, old dirty fluid is replaced with the right level of clean fluid. It’s important that you’re driving with the proper level of unpolluted fluid. This is because transmission fluid provides lubrication, rust prevention, cooling, and fluid pressure.

Transmission Replacements & Rebuilds

If the estimated transmission repair costs are higher than the transmission’s value, then it’ll probably be most economical to install a replacement transmission. At Raptor Transmission, we’re highly experienced with transmission replacements and rebuilds.
