To ensure accurate repairs, a thorough diagnostic process is essential. At Wilmington Transmission Co, we utilize advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint the exact issues affecting your transmission. Our detailed inspections help uncover potential problems early, allowing us to recommend the best course of action. If you're noticing uneven shifting or strange performance issues, our expert diagnostics will identify the source and provide a clear plan for repair.
Repairs for Both Automatic and Manual Transmissions
No matter what kind of transmission your vehicle has, we offer automatic and manual transmission repair services to meet your needs. For automatic transmissions, we handle everything from gear and solenoid issues to fluid pumps and sensors. For manual transmissions, we provide comprehensive services, including clutch repairs, gear adjustments, and flywheel resurfacing. Wilmington drivers can count on our team to provide efficient and high-quality repairs for both types of transmissions.
Transmission Fluid Service & Preventative Maintenance
Regular transmission fluid changes are key to prolonging the life of your transmission. Transmission fluid serves as both lubricant and coolant, and without it, your transmission could overheat or wear out prematurely. Due to Wilmington’s humid, coastal climate, frequent fluid checks and maintenance are vital. We recommend that you change your transmission fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, or more often if you notice any unusual behavior from your transmission.
Clutch Services for Optimal Performance
If you own a manual transmission vehicle, the clutch is essential for smooth shifting. If you experience issues such as slipping gears or hard shifts, it may be time for a clutch repair or replacement. We provide services that ensure your clutch is performing at its best, including adjustments, resurfacing, and full replacements. We aim to restore your vehicle's performance and keep your driving experience smooth, especially with Wilmington’s frequent stop-and-go traffic.
Transmission Rebuilding & Overhauls for Reliability
When your transmission has suffered significant damage, a rebuild or overhaul can restore it to like-new condition. We specialize in full transmission rebuilds, where we completely disassemble, inspect, and replace necessary parts to restore optimal performance. Our overhaul services focus on replacing crucial components like gears, seals, and sensors, ensuring your transmission lasts for the long haul.
Custom Upgrades for Enhanced Performance
Looking to enhance your vehicle's performance? We also offer custom transmission upgrades and performance tuning to improve your car’s handling, towing capacity, and shifting speed.
