Transmission Service Savings in Ayden, NC

Affordable Transmission Service in Ayden, NC

The transmission is a box between your car's engine and the differential. Its primary job is to transfer power from the engine to the wheels. The transmission accomplishes this through a series of gears; the vehicle can change speeds through these.

Automatic and manual transmissions are the two types of transmissions available. Automatic transmissions shift gears using hydraulic pressure, whereas manual transmissions use a driver-operated clutch.

A car's transmission is an essential component that requires routine maintenance to keep it in good working order. Changing the transmission fluid and filter and inspecting the transmission for leaks are typical parts of transmission service.

Doug Henry Ford of Ayden in Ayden, NC, can service your transmission professionally. Our skilled technicians will drain the old fluid from your transmission, replace the filter, and refill it with new fluid. We'll also look for leaks and other problems and make necessary repairs.

When Do You Need Transmission Service?

At 60,000 miles, you should have your first transmission service. Transmission service is required every 30,000 miles or so after that. However, if you notice any of the following symptoms, you should bring your car in as soon as possible:

• Lagging - If there's lagging in the car when you shift from park to drive, it could be a sign that your transmission is failing. Lagging is one of the first and most obvious signs of a transmission problem.


• Clunking - Does it clunk when you shift gears? If your car feels like a rollercoaster, it's time to get it serviced. Rough gear shifting is a sign that your transmission needs inspection.


• Buzzing and whining sounds - If your car is making strange noises, such as buzzing, it's critical to inspect it. If your transmission makes a whining noise, it means it needs service right away.


• Leak - A reddish leak could indicate a transmission problem. If you treat it as a warning sign, you can usually repair your transmission before it causes more damage. The good news is that a leak does not always mean that you need a costly gearbox repair.


• Burning stench - Burning transmission fluid or overheating gears due to friction can cause the smell. Either of these two indicators means your transmission needs repair.
