Our Diesel Transmission Services

Advanced Transmission Diagnostics and Fault Detection

Our technicians use state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to detect internal and electronic transmission faults. From fluid pressure testing to scan tool analysis, we identify issues such as slipping, overheating, or solenoid failure early—ensuring accurate, efficient repairs that restore full system performance and reliability.

Full Transmission Rebuilds and Overhauls

When major repairs are required, we offer complete rebuilds that restore your transmission to like-new condition. Each unit is disassembled, cleaned, inspected, and rebuilt with new clutches, seals, gaskets, and precision-machined components—ensuring dependable performance and longevity under heavy-duty conditions.

Clutch, Torque Converter, and Gear Repairs

From worn clutches to faulty torque converters or damaged gears, we handle it all. Our skilled technicians replace or rebuild components with high-quality parts to ensure smooth engagement, consistent shifting, and optimal torque transfer, minimizing wear and maximizing performance across every drive cycle.

Preventive Transmission Maintenance

Preventive care is key to transmission longevity. Our maintenance services include fluid flushes, filter replacements, seal inspections, and cooler checks to keep temperatures low and components clean. Regular maintenance helps prevent costly issues and ensures your transmission performs reliably for years.

Transmission Fluid Services and Seal Replacement

Transmission fluid plays a vital role in cooling, lubrication, and hydraulic operation. We perform complete fluid flushes and replacements using manufacturer-approved fluids. Worn seals are inspected and replaced to prevent leaks, maintain pressure balance, and protect against premature wear or overheating.

Performance Calibration and Testing

Every repaired or rebuilt transmission undergoes comprehensive testing and calibration before reinstallation. We verify shift timing, pressure regulation, and power transfer accuracy under real-world load conditions. This guarantees smooth performance, reliability, and confidence in every gear change after the repair.

Benefits of Professional Transmission Repair

Enhanced Power Transfer Efficiency

A properly functioning transmission ensures that every bit of torque reaches the wheels efficiently. Professional repair eliminates slippage, improves gear engagement, and restores full power delivery, allowing your diesel engine to perform at its true potential under load, on the highway, or in demanding work environments.

Improved Fuel Economy

Transmission wear can cause inefficient power transfer and higher fuel consumption. Professional maintenance and repair restore proper gear ratios and shift timing, optimizing engine performance and reducing energy waste. This leads to improved fuel efficiency and lower long-term operational costs for your diesel vehicle or fleet.

Extended Component Life

Repaired and properly maintained transmissions experience less internal wear. Replacing worn clutches, seals, and bearings reduces friction, heat, and stress on key components. This extends transmission life and protects other connected systems, ensuring long-term durability and dependable operation under tough working conditions.

Smoother, More Reliable Shifting

Grinding gears, delayed engagement, or rough shifting are signs of transmission distress. A professional repair restores seamless gear changes and precise synchronization, improving drivability and overall vehicle control. The result is a smoother, quieter ride and increased operator confidence behind the wheel.

Reduced Risk of Costly Breakdowns

Neglecting transmission issues can lead to catastrophic failures requiring full replacements. Early diagnostics and expert repair prevent major damage, saving time and money. Regular service and timely attention keep your diesel running reliably and reduce the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns during critical operations.

Increased Towing and Load Capacity

A properly functioning transmission enhances torque delivery and pulling power. Professional repair ensures smooth gear transitions under stress, enabling your diesel vehicle to tow heavy loads or manage commercial equipment more effectively without compromising performance, safety, or fuel efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I know if my diesel transmission needs repair?

    Common signs include delayed shifting, slipping gears, burning smells, or fluid leaks. If your vehicle struggles under load or loses power during acceleration, it’s best to have a professional diagnostic check performed to prevent more severe damage or complete transmission failure.

  • What’s involved in a diesel transmission rebuild?

    A rebuild involves disassembling the transmission, cleaning all parts, and replacing worn clutches, seals, and bearings. The components are reassembled and tested to meet factory specifications, ensuring restored performance, efficiency, and durability similar to a new transmission.

  • How often should transmission fluid be changed?

    Transmission fluid should typically be changed every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on driving conditions. Regular fluid replacement prevents overheating, contamination, and component wear, keeping your transmission clean and properly lubricated for optimal performance.

  • Can a slipping transmission be repaired without a rebuild?

    In some cases, yes. Minor issues such as low fluid, a faulty solenoid, or worn seals can cause slipping and may be resolved with targeted repairs. However, persistent slipping often indicates internal damage that requires a professional rebuild for complete restoration.
