Transmission Service You Can Rely On
Your vehicle’s transmission plays a critical role in how your vehicle drives and performs. It transfers power from the engine to the wheels, adjusts gear ratios based on speed, and helps prevent engine strain under varying driving conditions. A properly functioning transmission also supports smooth acceleration and efficient fuel use.
Whether your vehicle is equipped with an automatic, manual, or continuously variable transmission (CVT), the experienced technicians at Legacy Auto Clinic are equipped to service, diagnose, and repair all transmission types.
Signs of Transmission Trouble
Transmission concerns often present themselves gradually. Common warning signs include:
- Gear Slippage: The vehicle unexpectedly changes gears or struggles to stay in the correct gear
- Slow or Rough Shifting: Hesitation or harsh engagement when changing gears
- Transmission Fluid Leaks: Puddles or drips of red or brown fluid beneath the vehicle
- Grinding or Shuddering: Vibrations or unusual noises while driving or shifting
- Check Engine Light: In some cases, transmission-related faults can trigger warning lights
If you’re noticing any of these symptoms, it’s best to have your vehicle inspected promptly to prevent further damage.

What type of parts are used for transmission repairs?

How long does a transmission repair typically take?
Repair timelines vary based on the type and extent of the repair. Factors such as current shop scheduling and, most importantly, the availability of required parts can impact turnaround time.
