Transmission Repair & Services: Powering Your Drive

Your vehicle's transmission is one of its most complex and vital components, responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels and ensuring smooth, efficient gear changes. When your transmission isn't performing correctly, it can lead to a range of issues, from rough shifts to complete vehicle immobilization.

At Burdi Motorworks, we specialize in comprehensive transmission repair and services, ensuring your vehicle's powertrain delivers power reliably and efficiently.

Why Transmission Care is Crucial

The transmission operates under immense stress, generating significant heat and relying on specialized fluid to lubricate, cool, and enable hydraulic operation. Neglecting transmission maintenance or ignoring early warning signs can lead to:

  • Degraded Performance: Sluggish acceleration, poor fuel economy, or harsh shifting.
  • Costly Repairs: Minor issues, if ignored, can quickly escalate to full transmission rebuilds or replacements, which are among the most expensive vehicle repairs.
  • Breakdowns: A failing transmission can leave you stranded, impacting your plans or business operations.

Our automotive industry trained and certified technicians have the expertise and advanced diagnostic equipment to accurately assess and service both automatic and manual transmissions.

Specialized Transmission Services for Every Vehicle

We understand the unique demands placed on different types of transmissions, from the precision-engineered units in luxury cars to the robust systems in commercial vans.

  • For Your Luxury Vehicle (Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, BMW, Land Rover, Audi):These high-performance vehicles often feature advanced multi-speed automatic transmissions, dual-clutch systems, or sophisticated manual gearboxes. Our technicians are skilled in diagnosing complex electronic control unit (ECU) faults, fluid exchange procedures, and addressing issues unique to these precision components, ensuring your vehicle's legendary driving dynamics are preserved.
  • For Your Commercial Fleet (Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ram ProMaster, Ford Transit, Chevy Express, Mercedes-Benz Metris):Commercial vans endure heavy loads and constant stop-and-go driving, placing significant strain on their transmissions. We provide robust solutions, from heavy-duty fluid exchanges to comprehensive repairs for common issues like slipping gears, delayed engagement, or unusual noises, keeping your essential business vehicles on the road and minimizing costly downtime.

Our transmission services include:

  • Transmission Fluid Exchange: Replacing old, degraded fluid with fresh, manufacturer-approved fluid to maintain lubrication and cooling properties. This is a vital preventative measure.
  • Transmission Inspections: Thorough checks for leaks, proper fluid levels, and signs of wear.
  • Diagnostic Services: Utilizing specialized tools to read transmission control module (TCM) codes and pinpoint electronic or mechanical issues.
  • Transmission Repair: Addressing specific component failures, such as solenoids, sensors, or valve body issues.
  • Transmission Rebuilds & Replacements: For severe internal damage, we offer expert rebuild services or professional replacement with new or remanufactured units.
  • Clutch Service & Replacement (for manual transmissions): Ensuring smooth engagement and optimal performance.

Signs Your Transmission Needs Attention

Don't wait for a complete failure. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's time for a professional transmission inspection:

  • Unusual Noises: Whining, clunking, humming, or grinding sounds.
  • Delayed or Rough Shifting: Hesitation or jerking when changing gears.
  • Slipping Gears: The engine revs but the vehicle doesn't accelerate as it should, or it feels like it's in neutral when it should be in gear.
  • Burning Smell: Can indicate overheating transmission fluid.
  • Fluid Leaks: Reddish fluid puddles under your vehicle.
  • Check Engine Light On: Especially if accompanied by shifting problems.
