Automatic Transmissions

Automatic Transmissions shift between gears automatically to optimize driving, and changes gears based on the driver's throttle pedal, vehicle speed, engine speed, and vehicle load. Typical automatic transmissions have 4-5 forward gear ratios, a Reverse, Park, and Neutral gear. Shifting gears occur automatically once the car is in Drive and there is no need for a clutch pedal or gear shift like there is in a Manual Transmission. Automatic transmission repair is complicated based on all the components that make it up, and you need to have any automatic transmission issues properly assessed by auto mechanics. Call 215-333-8108 to talk to the mechanics of Vince Capcino Transmission s about your transmission problems.

Is it time to have your transmission repaired?

Your transmission should never be ignored. Rebuilding or replacing a transmission is much more costly than a solid maintenance routine. Even with great maintenance, you can still run into issues, though. Auto Repairs aren’t always avoidable, and when you need transmission repair in Northeast Philadelphia the best shop for the job is Vince Capcino Transmissions. We take the right steps to fully diagnose your transmission, and will always repair it if possible.

What are the most common transmission problems and symptoms?

The smell of burning toast may mean your transmission fluid needs changing. The next step is to check the color of your transmission fluid. Most ATF is red in color. Manuals may even use motor oil. Check fluid levels, the color of the fluid, and its smell. If you’re low or it looks or smells burnt, then the fluid is likely overheating along with its protective abilities.

A poor response time or harsh shifting may be fluid or parts related. These symptoms can be caused by poor transmission fluid, fluid loss, or part failure. Most automatic vehicles rely on solenoids to tell them when to shift. When these solenoids go bad they can affect specific gears. If the problem occurs at a specific gear range or speed, it can narrow the list of suspects.

Grinding or clunking noises vary from automatics to manuals. Manual drivers are more likely to experience clutch related problems like a worn plate. Grinding or noisy transmission may also indicate a bad synchronizer in a manual. Automatic drivers are more likely facing contaminated or low fluid, or worse, a cracked or chipped gear.
