Transmissions take engine power and use it to power a car’s movement. Without a working transition, the car will not move. Many transmissions suffer neglect, and replacing them can be costly. Early intervention with transmission problems can mean minor, budget-friendly repairs. Delaying maintenance can lead to mechanical failures.
Here are some of the symptoms that you should be looking for. If you detect the problem early, you might be able to salvage the transmission without purging your wallets.
- Transmission slips between gears while driving
- Black transmission fluid that has a distinct smell
- Noticeable delays when shifting out of park
If you have crossed the point of no return, and you must replace your transmission gears, then you have a number of options.
Cost For New Replacement
You can buy a brand new transmission. This would be the most expensive way – but the most unobtrusive solution. New transmissions can cost several thousands of dollars, depending on your vehicle. A skilled mechanic can the install it.
In The Case of Used Transmission Replacement
Another option would be to buy either a used or a rebuilt transmission from a third party. Typically, this will cost less than one grand. If experienced, you can then install it yourself or have a technician do it for you. The one major drawback with junkyard transmissions is you will not have any idea about the transmissions mileage or other important details. Junkyards can tack any mileage to a transmission. A used transmission from a courtyard can work in a pinch – this is a temporary solution. Don’t expect the transmission to be perfect or last for an extensive period of time before it needs to be completely replaced.
