Common Questions About Transmission Service

How Often Should You Check the Transmission Fluid?

It’s a good idea to check the transmission fluid once a month, or before any long drive. This fluid helps the system cool down and shift smoothly. When the fluid level is low, it can cause hard shifts, unusual noises, or even system failure.

If the fluid looks dark, smells burnt, or if the level drops too low, come see us. Our team can inspect the fluid and recommend the next steps.

What Are the Signs That the Transmission Needs Work?

Watch for early signs of trouble. If the vehicle hesitates when shifting, slips between gears, or makes unusual sounds while in gear, the transmission may require attention. Red or pink fluid under the vehicle can also point to a leak.

Don’t wait until it gets worse. Bring the vehicle to our auto service center so we can take a look.

What Happens During Transmission Repair?

It depends on the damage. Some repairs are straightforward, such as tightening connections or replacing parts. If there’s major internal damage, the transmission may need to be rebuilt or replaced. Either way, our trained technicians follow the correct process and use parts that are specifically designed for your CDJR model.

We’ll explain everything clearly before starting any work. You’ll know what needs fixing, how long it’ll take, and how much it’ll cost.

Can You Drive With Transmission Issues?

We don’t recommend it. Driving with a known transmission issue can cause more damage, not only to the transmission but also to other systems. It can also affect how safely the vehicle handles. If you suspect a problem, bring your vehicle to our service center for inspection.

When Should You Get Transmission Service?

Routine maintenance helps keep the system in good shape. Most vehicles need a transmission fluid change every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. That range depends on the model, year, and how the vehicle is used. Vehicles that tow often or carry heavy loads may need more frequent service.

Our team can check your fluid and service history to suggest what’s best for your vehicle. Regular maintenance can prolong the life of the transmission and help prevent breakdowns.

How Much Does It Cost to Fix the Transmission?

The price depends on what’s wrong. Minor repairs cost less. Major transmission problems can be more expensive. Sometimes, replacing the whole system is the better option.

We’ll take a close look and give you a clear, honest estimate. We also work with partners who offer financing plans, allowing you to spread out your payments.
