Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the signs my automatic transmission needs repair or rebuilding?
Watch for these common symptoms:
- Slipping gears (engine revs but vehicle doesn’t accelerate properly)
- Delayed or harsh shifting
- Transmission fluid leaks
- Burning smell or discolored fluid
- Warning lights like the check engine or transmission light
These can indicate internal damage, fluid issues, or electrical problems.
2. What’s the difference between repairing and rebuilding an automatic transmission?
Repairing involves fixing only the specific parts that have failed, such as solenoids, sensors, or seals.
Rebuilding means completely disassembling the transmission, inspecting all components, replacing worn/damaged parts, and reassembling it to OEM specs.
A rebuild is more thorough and usually recommended when there’s extensive internal damage or high mileage.
3. How much does it cost to repair or rebuild an automatic transmission?
Prices vary based on the vehicle and extent of damage:
Minor repair: $300–$1,500
Full rebuild: $2,000–$4,500+
Luxury, performance, or 4WD vehicles can cost more. A proper diagnosis is essential for an accurate estimate.
4. How long does a transmission rebuild take?
Generally:
Minor repairs: 1–2 days
Rebuilds: 3–5 days
Time depends on shop workload, parts availability, and vehicle complexity. If custom or rare parts are needed, expect delays.
5. Can I keep driving if my transmission is acting up?
It’s strongly discouraged. Driving with a failing automatic transmission can:
- Cause further internal damage
- Lead to complete transmission failure
Increase repair costs significantly
It’s best to have it inspected and repaired early to avoid a full rebuild or replacement..
