Different Aspects of Transmission Servicing

  • Replacement of Transmission Fluid

    Transmission fluid helps in the smooth functioning of the transmission systems and keeps the vehicle well-powered. However, over time, this fluid gets contaminated with debris and loses its ability to lubricate efficiently. During every transmission servicing, we check the fluid quality and replace it if required. This ensures that the transmission system of your vehicle is well lubricated with minimal friction while also cooling the system, preventing costly repairs, and prolonging its life span.

  • Diagnostic Testing

    Diagnostic testing is done when there are issues with the transmission. A series of thorough diagnostic tests are run to identify the problem and its root cause. Our experienced and knowledgeable transmission specialists use specialised tools to study transmission performance, discern error codes, and identify mechanical and electrical issues in the vehicle. When the issues are identified accurately through absolute diagnostics, the repair works are more focused and effective. This also helps minimise downtime and keeps costs low.

  • Inspection of Various Components

    The next important aspect of transmission servicing or repairs is a thorough inspection of the various components of the system. Any regular transmission servicing would involve checking the transmission mounts, seals, linkages, cooler lines, and all other external parts to look for signs of wear, damage, or misalignment. Subsequently, certain adjustments may be required to make sure the shifting and transmission functions are carried out smoothly. Inspection and adjustments are therefore very important to ensure optimised maintenance of the transmission systems.

  • Repairs and Replacements

    When it comes to transmission repairs, there is a whole range of tasks involved. From repairing damaged parts to replacing worn-out components, every aspect of transmission repairs needs to be carried out with meticulousness to make sure we have the right solution in place for the problem. We can carry out a wide range of repair work, which also includes replacing clutches, bands, solenoids, valve bodies, torque converters, and other internal parts.
