AUTO TRANSMISSION SERVICING

Here at Cronulla Sutherland Automatics, we value your money and we seek to deliver the best transmission services and repairs. We always keep our customers informed before, during, and after the repair.

Regular transmission servicing is essential to keep your vehicle running smoothly. Neglecting it can lead to major issues – and a full transmission rebuild is one of the most costly repairs a car can need.

To avoid this costly procedure, we recommend getting your gearbox serviced every 30,000-40,000km, or according to the recommendations on your specific car manual.

DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION SERVICES

You can choose from repair options when you experience a transmission failure. Each has its own benefits and pitfalls, and your choice greatly depends on your budget and the quality of the repair.

Repaired Transmissions

A rebuild is different from a repair. Our transmission repair service is where we fix or replace a specific transmission component without rebuilding the entire transmission. This includes instances where you’re experiencing leaks or shift delays. With a repair, you will only pay for the issue we fix and the labour attached to it.

Rebuilt Transmissions

Rebuilding a transmission involves disassembly, inspection of damaged parts, and reassembly of a working transmission. We usually begin rebuilding a transmission by removing it from the car, rebuilding the part and reinstalling it. While we may install new parts such as gaskets and seals, the core gears and their alignments remain the same and will still be compatible with your vehicle. This is also an affordable way of getting your car back on the road without completely replacing your entire transmission.

New Transmissions

While a new transmission may seem like the obvious choice when facing transmission issues, it isn’t always the best solution. Skip the dealership and let Cronulla Sutherland Automatics can handle your transmission needs directly. We provide expert diagnosis and effective transmission repairs to get your vehicle back on the road quickly and affordably.

Driving without Servicing

Are there odd sounds coming from your transmission system? They are clear indicators of issues that require servicing. Don’t ever ignore them. Consult with experts like Cronulla Sutherland Automatics to learn about the best solution to the problems. You’ll be putting yourself in danger or financial trouble if you continue driving your car after noticing these signs of transmission issues.

Towing Over the Limit

Every vehicle has a set towing capacity, and exceeding this limit puts extra strain on the car. Overloading causes the bands and clutches to slip, leading to premature wear and damage. Additionally, towing beyond your car’s capacity can cause the transmission to overheat, especially when you accelerate under heavy load, making it one of the leading causes of transmission failure.

Bad Timing

You might be doing this, but you don’t even know you’re damaging your automatic transmission. When revving your motor in neutral to a high RPM, never shift to any forward gear without taking your foot off the gas pedal or letting the RPMs come down. Otherwise, you’ll be putting so much stress on the internal parts of your transmission system. This will cause them to spin and slip. Be patient and composed; shift at the right time to avoid premature transmission wear and tear.

Throwing the Transmission into Park before the Car Comes to a Full Stop

Your car needs to come to a full stop before going into park or an opposing gear. Your parking pawl will bend and break if you try to shift to reverse mode while the vehicle is still moving. The clutches and bands will slip, and the planetary gear set will sustain damage. Be sure to break and come to a stop before changing to an opposing gear or shifting to a different mode. This will also rely on regular checks on your brake fluid to avoid any other unwanted issues.

In general, your choice greatly depends on the type of vehicle you have and the type of transmission problem you’re experiencing. At Cronulla Sutherland Automatics, we will be more than happy to analyse your car’s problem and offer the necessary transmission service.
