A vehicle's transmission is vital to its operation. That's why it's important to get your car checked when you first notice a problem.

Not all transmission problems call for major repairs. A minor repair or adjustment can easily do the trick. These simple adjustments don't require the complete removal of your vehicle's transmission. We offer Expert transmission service in Lake in The Hills.

In the case of a noncomputer-controlled transmission shifting too early or too late, the throttle cable might require a little work. Throttle cables rarely wear out so the problem could be the result of damage from an accident or previous repairs.

If your car has a vacuum modulator instead of a throttle cable, there is an adjustment that can be made using an adjustment screw in some modulator designs. However, it is vital that there are no vacuum leaks in vehicles with modulators and the engine is running efficiently.

Engine vacuum is closely linked to the engine's performance. Technicians often use a vacuum gauge to diagnose performance problems and state-of-tune. In such situations, a tune-up or engine performance-related repair will fix the transmission problem.

When it comes to older transmissions, 'slipping conditions' can easily be resolved by adjusting the bands. Slipping happens when an engine races briefly as the transmission shifts from one gear to the next.

A late-model transmission might not be shifting properly because of two reasons. One, it might be the result of a computer sending incorrect signals due to a faulty sensor. Two, the transmission is not reacting to the computer command because of a bad connection or defective solenoid pack.

Both these problems can be resolved without removing the transmission.

Control parts in transmission, including the electrical parts, can be serviced, repaired, or replaced by removing the oil pan.

However, accessible parts vary from transmission to transmission. Transmission repair facilities would hesitate to provide warranties on external repairs since they cannot see if there are any additional internal problems in the components that are only accessible by transmission removal.

Have you noticed spots of red oil on the ground under your vehicle? It might be an external transmission fluid leak. Bring your car to us and our technicians will examine your car for signs of oil leaks.

If we spot the leak at any of the external seals or gaskets and the transmission otherwise performs well, resealing will probably be the best way to take care of the problem.

We can replace most external seals while the transmission is in the car. However, if the front seal requires replacing, we'll need to remove the transmission to gain access to it, making it an expensive repair.
