Transmissions

On top of rebuilding transmissions, we also provide diagnostic services on most vehicles. We can service and repair the driveline for most makes and models, which involves the transmission, transfer case, front and rear differential, and drive shafts. During this process, we can provide your vehicle with both factory or non-factory remanufactured transmissions and components. We honor warranties ranging from 24-month/24,000 miles and 36-month/100,000 miles. At Jack Smith’s Transmission, we offer complete clutch repairs, including OEM-type parts, pilot bearing, throw out bearing, and resurface flywheels. We typically use LUK clutch kits and our warranties on clutch jobs are a solid 12-month/12,000 miles. We also provide brake and shock repairs, NC Emissions and Safety inspections, engine diagnostics, tune-ups, and general services and maintenance for both individual and fleet vehicles. We accept and work with most extended warranty companies and have full transmission fluid services.

Transmission Diagnostics

The transmission of your vehicle is completely necessary for your vehicle to run and perform. Because it is such a major component of your engine, it can also encounter problems ranging from minor to major. It is important to have your transmission regularly serviced and maintained to allow it to work up to its full potential. We can perform a diagnostics test on your transmission if you feel like your vehicle may be experiencing any issues. The first two major signs that you need to have your transmission checked is if your car will not go anywhere, or if it is going but not smoothly.

If you suspect that your transmission may have a leak, some places that you can personally check before consulting a professional technician are at the filler tube base, the drainage hole underneath the transmission, any space between the transmission and engine, or around the selector shaft, which is the rod that connects your gear shifter to the transmission. Another issue could be that your transmission fluid is leaking into the radiator, which does not mix with radiator fluid, and can cause further damage to another part of your engine.

Get Your Transmission Checked

It is important to have your transmission filter checked. It is a possibility that it may be clogged, and this can cause a decrease in transmission performance. It is an easier replacement job than actually having your entire transmission rebuilt or replaced.

Like all other components of your car, the transmission will begin to break down and gain wear-and-tear over time and extensive use. At Jack Smith’s Transmission and Automotive Services, we can provide a complete and thorough transmission rebuild. If you can and have personally checked to make sure there are no leaks and there is no visible damage regarding your vehicle’s transmission, but are convinced that there is something wrong with it, you may need to have your transmission rebuilt. It is very important to check all other elements beforehand as a complete transmission rebuild can be very costly. We do offer warranties on our rebuilt transmissions. It is best to keep your transmission regularly serviced and maintained to save you money and other engine malfunctions in the long run.

Warranty Info

We offer standard 24-month or 24,000-mile warranties on transmissions. All other warranties are up to three years or 100,000 miles. The remanufacturer issues a non-transferable limited warranty to the owner of the vehicle in which the component is installed. This warrants that the remanufactured part is free from defects in material or workmanship and that it is properly installed and maintained during a specific time (warranty) period. The remanufacturer will replace, repair, or refund the component in question before either the time limit or mileage occurs first. The 24-month/24,000 mile warranty applies to trucks that exceed one ton, excluding motor homes, and the 36-month/100,000 mile warranty applies to passenger and police cars, and light trucks up to ¾ ton excluding motor homes and other special use vehicles.

Transmission Maintenance

Maintenance Is Key

Transmission repairs can be very costly. It is important to your vehicle’s performance and is a very complex system. The transmission retrieves power from the engine and converts it to power to supply high torque at low speeds. Proper maintenance of your transmission should be of the utmost importance for you to have an efficiently running vehicle. It is possible to have your transmission flushed, at your discretion and as the technicians suggest, which is basically what it sounds like. The old transmission fluid is removed and new oil is pushed through to unclog dirt, grime, and sludge then refilled with new oil.
