Drivers in the greater Easton, Pennsylvania area trust the team at Integrated Automotive Services to care for their vehicle. You don’t have to be a master automotive repair technician to know that your vehicle consists of many parts and systems. Your car’s transmission is among the most important components, and it can be one of the most complex and expensive to repair. For those reasons, you need to make an appointment to bring your car in to have your transmission inspected regularly and transmission repair and service when needed. The transmission in your vehicle harnesses the power your engine generates, which prevents the engine from shaking or overheating. Simultaneously, your transmission sends the appropriate amount of power to each wheel and allows you to change gears as necessary. Transmissions come in two main types: manual and automatic. Manual transmissions rely on driver input to shift gears, while automatic transmissions change gears based on a car’s speed and how hard a driver presses the gas pedal.

Regardless if you drive a manual or an automatic transmission, each has its ways of telling you when something is wrong. You’ll know there is a problem with a manual transmission if you experience it jumping out of gear, stuck in one gear, or it cannot get into gear. You may also experience vibrations, slippage, or different shift patterns in general. If you drive an automatic transmission, signs of a problem include a car that won’t engage or respond when in gear, slipping gears, or lacking power. Both, however, can give off grinding or shaking sensations, whirring, humming, or clunking sounds, leaking fluid, hard shifting, and sluggish performance. In some instances, your check engine light can come on in your dashboard before you even begin to feel anything unusual with your transmission. If you start to experience one of the above or any other abnormality, we encourage you to visit us at your earliest convenience for transmission repair service—what could be a small issue now can quickly turn into a larger and more severe transmission problem.

We know vehicles and transmissions, and we are confident we’ll be able to rectify any transmission issue that may come our way, whether it be a clutch replacement or a transmission rebuild. When you bring your car in, you can trust our certified technicians to inspect your transmission, check your transmission fluid levels, flush your fluid as needed, change your transmission filter, and service your cooling system – all of which will help keep your transmission in good shape. If they detect a problem, they will fix it! In addition to visiting us, there are some things you can do to maintain your transmission, such as avoid switching gears when your car is moving and refrain from towing heavy loads often.
