Getting rid of this dirty fluid makes sense, right? If it’s called for in the service manual, go ahead and let your mechanic do the job.

Maybe you've heard of slipping gears. That's the term given to the transmission problem that occurs when your vehicle goes in and out of gear by itself or between gears when it shouldn't. It's dangerous and requires repair.

[Capitol Transmission @capitoltrans]

We're glad to rebuild your vehicle's transmission for you when it's time, but we're also happy to help you keep your transmission in good condition as long as possible. Talk to us about any transmission services you might need.

When you own a manual car but you drive an automatic for the first time in a long time...

Automatic and Manual transmissions are the most known, but we bet you didn't know there are 5 types of transmissions https://t.co/C6BfrNs6y0

Perhaps you're confused by multiple terms you've heard floating around when you're looking for reputable transmission repair. You may wonder if there is a difference between a transmission rebuild and a transmission overhaul. No. They are the same thing.

[Capitol Transmission @capitoltrans]

If you have it in your plans to attempt a transmission repair on your own, think twice before you dive in. Transmission repair and maintenance is extremely difficult and can lead to more issues down the road if done wrong 😬

[Capitol Transmission @capitoltrans]

If you smell a burning odor, your transmission could be overheating and burning the fluid. This is particularly true if your fluid is old. It may have broken down, preventing it from cooling the transmission properly.

Let's get real. Gas is not cheap! The obvious answer to saving on gas is owning a gas efficient vehicle. But half of the battle is how you drive your vehicle. Figure out the trick to saving gas from tweaking how you shift gears 😁 >>> https://t.co/ymUfg2Zxcd

[Capitol Transmission @capitoltrans]

If your transmission moves out of one gear and into another at inappropriate times, you have what's known as a slipping transmission. This may be as simple as the need for more transmission fluid or a bigger problem.

[Capitol Transmission @capitoltrans]

Nobody wants to hear that their vehicle's transmission needs rebuilding. However, the news is not all bad. We can check for manufacturer's service bulletins and make upgrades to your transmission as recommended while we're in there for repair.

Idle cars are statistically more likely to develop issues. Check your transmission fluids before driving again to prevent these potential issues.

Have you noticed a reddish-colored puddle where you park your vehicle? That's a big red flag. It's not only messy, it's a sign of a transmission fluid leak. This is not normal and should garner immediate attention.

Did you know that a transmission rebuild not only makes the transmission work well, but it also may extend the life of everything else, too. A properly functioning transmission puts less strain on the engine and drivetrain.

A check engine light can signal many issues with your vehicle, so don’t ignore the warning. Avoid major repairs such as a transmission replacement and bring it in for a checkup. Schedule your appointment directly with us, your transmission specialist!
