What transmission repairs do cars need in Bridgewater?

Transmission Fluid Leak Repair

A transmission fluid leak is a serious issue that adversely affects your car’s performance and shortens the lifespan of transmission system components. Most of the time, leaks are caused by worn seals, cracked gaskets, damaged transmission lines, or faulty torque converters. Transmission fluid helps lubricate the internal components of the system. Contact us at Motor Cars International, located near Bridgewater, to get your fluid leak fixed by our professional mechanics.

Solenoid Pack Replacement

The solenoids are electro-hydraulic valves that help control the fluid flow inside the automatic transmissions and also help in managing the gear changes. Often, a failing solenoid leads to delayed shifting, stuck gears, or harsh engagements, making it difficult for you to drive your car. Moreover, replacing the solenoid pack is challenging as it involves removing many transmission components. Contact us at our garage located in the neighborhood of Bridgewater to get your solenoid pack replaced immediately.

Torque Converter Replacement

The torque converter acts as a link between the engine and the transmission in automatic cars. It uses hydraulic fluid to transfer power, making it possible for the vehicle to come to a stop without stalling. When the torque converter malfunctions, you might encounter shuddering, overheating, slipping gears, or poor acceleration. At times, failure of the torque converter also contaminates the transmission fluid. Reach out to us at Motor Cars International, located in the vicinity of Bridgewater, to get your torque converter replaced.

Valve Body Repair or Replacement

The valve body is the nerve center of your automatic transmission system and directs fluid to the appropriate channels for gear selection. Issues in the functioning of the valve body, such as worn valves, clogged passages, or electrical malfunctions, can lead to delayed or incorrect shifting and slipping. Furthermore, if the problems with the valve body are caught early on, they can be fixed. You should get your valve body inspected for underlying problems and fix or replace it to restore the efficient functioning of your transmission system.

Signs of a Slipping Transmission

Made up of many smaller components, our mechanics know that your A/C needs everything working properly to perform at the highest level. We perform complete inspections with every service appointment and ensure the highest-quality repairs for your entire A/C including:

Delayed Acceleration
Excessively High RPM (Over 3,500)
Trouble Shifting Gears
Burnt or Unusual Smells
Check Engine Light Constantly Turning On
Unusual Noises When Shifting

Recognizing any of these signs early can mean the difference between minor repairs and complete transmission replacements. While sudden failure is a possibility, it’s highly unlikely that you’d never notice any warning signs. Annual maintenance inspections will also help you as our mechanics fully inspect your transmission and make note of any possible issues. That way, you can decide when to have each service taken care of and your car is always taken care of on your schedule. We also back parts and labor with a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty to further guarantee your satisfaction.
