Best manual transmission repair shops near me

From manual to automatic transmission repair, Floyd's Tire & Auto Repair in Grand Haven, MI 49417 knows how to fix the problem. Our knowledgeable auto experts will diagnose the situation and help you make a decision. Leave the dirty work to us!

Our competitively priced transmission services include:

Automatic Transmission
Automatic Transmissions shift between gears automatically to optimize driving, and changes gears based on the driver's throttle pedal, vehicle speed, engine speed, and vehicle load. Typical automatic transmissions have 4-5 forward gear ratios, a Reverse, Park, and Neutral gear. Shifting gears occur automatically once the car is in Drive and there is no need for a clutch pedal or gear shift like there is in a Manual Transmission. Automatic transmission repair is complicated based on all the components that make it up, and you need to have any automatic transmission issues properly assessed by auto mechanics. Call 616-935-9937 to talk to the mechanics of Floyd's Tire & Auto Repair about your transmission problems.

Clutches
There are clutches in both automatic and manual transmission cars, and different types of clutches. When shifting gears, the clutch engages and disengages from the flywheel and transfers the torque through the transmission. Clutches should help your vehicle start and shift gears smoothly. The clutch in your car receives a lot of wear and can eventually wear out. If your clutch begins slipping irregularly or is making noises that are raising suspicion, contact Floyd's Tire & Auto Repair to see if clutch replacement is necessary.

Four-Wheel Drive Transmission
A four-wheel (4x4) drive vehicle has differential gears, both front and rear axles, and a transfer case attached to the transmission. Four-wheel drive vehicles demand maintenance on the transfer case, front differentials, rear differentials, and transmission fluids. Visit us on 482 S Beechtree for service on your four-wheel drive transmission services.

Front-Wheel Drive Transmission
If your vehicle has Front-wheel drive, the engine drives the front wheels only. The power is routed through the transmission to the final drive where it is split and sent to the two front wheels through the drive axles. The engine, transmission, and additional hardware is all located in the front of the car. If you are in need, Floyd's Tire & Auto Repair of Grand Haven, MI will gladly repair front-wheel drive transmission vehicles.

Manual Transmission
Driving a vehicle with a Manual Transmission requires using the clutch pedal and gear shift to manually shift gears based on the speed of the vehicle. Manual transmissions have been built with anywhere from two to eight gears. Front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive are the two main configurations for manual transmissions. Typically, manual transmissions require less maintenance then automatic transmissions. At Floyd's Tire & Auto Repair, our auto mechanics can diagnose your vehicle and then recommend the transmission repair or transmission service you need to ensure safety and improve the lifetime of your vehicle.

Replacement
In motor vehicles, the transmission usually refers to the gear box, which uses gears and gear trains to transmit speed and tourque from a rotating power source to another device. You can have your car's transmission replaced with a new, rebuilt, remanufactured, repaired or used transmission. For more information contact Floyd's Tire & Auto Repair in Grand Haven, MI. Our experienced service technicians can help you make the best decision for your vehicle and your wallet.

Service, Diagnose and Repair
Transmission repair is not something to take lightly. The transmission is connected to key parts of your vehicle and needs to be working properly for your safety. Transmission services include replacing filters and draining fluids to prevent transmission damage. Typical transmission issues that may lead to repair may include shifting issues, slipping, stalling, fluid leaking, and the service light turning on. If you are concerned that you may need transmission repair, don't hesitate to schedule an appointment at Floyd's Tire & Auto Repair today.

Transfer Cases
A transfer case is a part of a four wheel drive system found in four wheel drive and all wheel drive vehicles. The transfer case receives power from the transmission and sends it to both the front and rear axles. This can be done with a set of gears, but the majority of transfer cases manufactured today are chain driven. The transfer case is connected to the transmission and also to the front and rear axles by means of drive shafts.Trust the automotive experts at Floyd's Tire & Auto Repair for all your transmission repairs.

Best Transmission Repair In Plainfield, IL

Transmission Rebuild

★★★★★

Ron and his team are great! About two months ago, I needed a transmission rebuild and I found a guy to do the work much cheaper than anyone else... Unfortunately, it ended up being the worst experience I've had with a shop thus far. The prior trans failed within 3 weeks and instead of honoring his 1 year warranty, he dodged me completely, stopped answering my phone calls and disappeared... A TOTAL waste of time and a lot of money. Frustrated, stranded, and in serious need of a good trans, I found Last Chance Auto and saw all the great reviews. Ron said he had a lot of experience with Honda transmission and that he'd get me back up and running. Sure enough, within 5 days the car was ready and it's been running perfectly ever since! I've been extremely satisfied with LCA (Last Chance Auto) and would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of good work. Thanks again guys!

- Fernando R

Trans Went Out

★★★★★

When the transmission went out in my 2003 Camry with 85000 miles I shopped around and picked Last Chance. Ron quoted a fair price competitive with other independent shops and performed the work and has been running smooth for almost 3 years and 20,000 miles now.. So I have taken my Ford Econoline van my girlfriends Suzuki my daughters KIA and the Camry back in for minor and major repairs. As an airline pilot who is obsessed with knowing the details of the mechanical condition of whatever I fly and drive Ron understands that and explains in as deep and complete detail including the engineering behind what he is fixing as I want. I used to work on my own cars because I trusted NO ONE! I don't anymore because I trust Ron way more than myself. I've had two return issues. A very minor leak on the transmission which he found a seal had been pinched during install. They replaced it HASSLE FREE. The second was a noisy bearing on my Van after a repack. He discovered bad bearings and replaced the bearing no charge hassle free! He stands behind his work and knows his profession like no other! This is my family mechanic! Took me 20 years but finally found him!

Clutch Replacement

★★★★★

First took my Dodge Neon to last chance a few months ago to replace the clutch. Great price, great people, especially the owner Ron. Most impressively there has been an issue after the repair was made, and Ron and his team bent over backwards to make sure it was right. He really works to take care of you until your happy.

Most Friendly

★★★★★

This is one of the most friendly interesting auto repair shops I've ever been to. The customer service is got to be one of the best in town. They actually gave me a ride home free of charge. The only question asked was do you live close. The only downfall was that I had to wait two days to get the vehicle back. Is that a downfall, when the dealer would of had it a week. I think not! At the best auto repair shops in the world, people schedule jobs for a reason. This place excepts walk ins. But any service thats highend, quality and reasonably priced is going to get busy. How long does it take to rebuild a transmission? Some shops that I found on the internet told us up to a week and a half. I thought a down time of two days was more than fair. They gave me the rebuild estimate on the spot. Before they gave me a free ride home after the price made me so happy I threw my keys at them and started to run. Then I remembered that I needed a ride home. Opps! A lot of people these days are not educated about their vehicle or anything auto related. They without a doubt taught me a great deal about my vehicle and all about the auto industry. Everyone does things different but after this experience I learned my lesson and now I understand a lot more than I did before. How different businesses work there strategies how they suck you in. How a lot of people have to educate themselves before they talk negatively about something they don't understand. Their repair rebuild went great I didn't even have to rent another vehicle. The transmission rebuild service they did for my Toyota Camry worked out beautiful. Their standard warranty is 1 year or 12,000 miles on a rebuilt transmission. They offered a lifetime but it wasn't necessary. Great customer service very knowledgeable technicians.

- Jamie J

Fluid Was Low

★★★★★

I thought my transmission was going, but the people at Last Chance said that although the symptoms sounded like trans, the mileage was too low for it to be that. They were right, the fluid was low and needed replacing but the trans was fine. They took it for a test drive, looked under the hood, did the computer thingie and talked to me about the vehicle and consulted with each other before deciding that all I needed was an overdue tune up. I was impressed with how friendly, professional and efficient the team of people at Last Chance was. I felt like I was letting my very own Dad evaluate and take care of my car just like my college days. The price was fair as well.

- Nora Parkman

Transmission Rebuild

★★★★★

First we thought the brakes were locked up so we needed a tow. Then after the tow that turned out to be free in the long run we found out something else. They connected their diagnostic scanner and concluded a different situation with the health of my vehicle. Several trans codes were in the computers history. Wow what a learning experience! I'm glad my buddy from church gave me there card and it was in my wallet. Then we found them on here and that was the least we can do. To let people no what kind of place this is. Fair budgeted price they even towed it for free. I guess they tow it for free with any major job or project. Thanks Last Chance!

Transmission Rebuild In Plainfield, IL

Best manual transmission repair shops near me
Transmission Torque Converter – A torque converter in an automatic transmission serves the same purpose as the clutch in a manual transmission. The torque converter is what provides the physical connection between the engine and the transmission of your vehicle. A torque converter is responsible for transmitting the power generated by the engine to the transmission. It is also one of the most common components that fail in an automatic transmission. Need your torque converter replaced?


Best manual transmission repair shops near me
Automatic Transmission Clutches – An automatic transmission clutch pack consists of multiple alternating disks that fit inside a metal clutch drum. To effect gear changes, one of two types of clutches or bands are used to hold a particular member of the planetary gear set motionless, while allowing another member to rotate, thereby transmitting torque and producing gear reductions or overdrive ratios. There are multiple clutch packs inside your vehicle’s automatic transmission. There is usually one clutch pack for each shift of the vehicle or speed of the vehicle. Is your vehicle shifting funny?


Best manual transmission repair shops near me
Transmission Pump – Typically an automatic transmission has a gear pump mounted between the torque converter and the planetary gear set. It draws transmission fluid from a sump and then pressurizes it, which is needed for transmission components to operate. When the pump begins to fail or go bad, several signs will alert you. Increased vehicle noise such as a hum, whirring, can be signs of a bad or weak vehicle automatic transmission oil pump. Check engine light, burning smell, harsh shifting, noises, are all good signs that its time to let a pro check out your trans. Is your transmission pump going out?


Best manual transmission repair shops near me
Transmission Valve Body – What is the transmission valve body all about? The valve body is considered the heart of an automatic transmissions hydraulic control system. The inside of a valve body consists of a maze of channels, passages, that look like a plethora of miniature hallways that receives pressurized fluid from the main pump operated by the fluid coupling torque converter. Which in return disperses hydraulic fluid to the numerous valves which then activate the clutch packs, bands, servos to fluently shift to the appropriate gear. Does it feel like your transmission isn’t shifting into gear while driving and or is there a delay in engagement when you place your vehicle into gear?

The biggest automatic transmission killer in our eyes is not changing your transmission fluid as needed. The boiling point of new transmission fluid is 300-400 degrees °C. Old abused trans fluid is more like water with a boiling point of 100 °C. This is how people end up cooking their trans and once its well done, you need to rebuild it.

Changing transmission fluid is considered preventative maintenance for a reason, better safe then sorry. A little knowledge goes a long way and helps your money stay in your pocket.

Transmission Repair & Service FAQ’s

  • Reach out: to some friends, family, colleagues, and or maybe some other mechanics that you may know. Recommendations in my eyes hands down is the best way to go. Maybe you go to another shop but they don't service transmissions, they more than likely can point you in the right direction.
  • Search for: a certified transmission shop that employs highly trained ASE certified transmission mechanics. Certifications require dedication, education, schooling, experience & know how. Not all transmission mechanics and or transmission service shops are created equal by any means.

While you are searching around for a transmission repair shop near me, check out some reviews. Read the reviews, check out the reviewer, authenticate the information at hand. If it sounds to good to be true or sounds odd while reading, it may not always be 100% on the up and up. Check out the BBB rating. There is no hiding from an F.

  • Call around: for quotes and ask questions. Calling around just to check the pricing on say a transmission rebuild service, can give you an idea of what the shop is all about.

How much does it cost to repair manual transmission?

Average transmission repair costs range from $300 to $1,400. For example, if your manual transmission needs a new clutch, you can reasonably expect to pay around $800 to $1,500. On the other hand, transmission replacement is one of the most expensive repairs you can get. Replacements can range from $1,800 to $3,400.

Is it worth rebuilding a manual transmission?

A transmission rebuild is a great option in most cases. This means you are only replacing the parts that have failed. Just like a replace, you are fixing certain parts, but not doing it in a factory setting. You will want a very reputable repair shop to have this done.

Is it better to repair or replace a transmission?

In most cases, a full custom transmission rebuild is the best recommendation. Basically, the transmission is completely dismantled and every single component is inspected. All good parts are cleaned and reinstalled while any damaged parts are replaced with new or refurbished ones.

Are transmission issues worth fixing?

If the price of a new transmission is no more than 40% to 60% of your car's value, then it's probably worth the cost of repair. If your transmission is in good condition, there are benefits to repairing it rather than scrapping it entirely.
