There aren’t too many problems that you may experience with your vehicle that are more troublesome and worrisome than problems with your transmission. Unfortunately, when you need transmission repair in Montgomery, TX, you’re probably going to shell out thousands of dollars for a new transmission. Fortunately, if you’re having transmission problems and you take your vehicle to a dedicated repair facility, you may find that not all problems with the transmission are going to cost you thousands of dollars.
There is always the possibility that your vehicle does need to have the transmission replaced. If your vehicle is still under warranty, and many manufacturers offer extended power train warranties, you’re simply going to have to deal with the inconvenience of being without your vehicle for a couple of days. However, if your vehicle is beyond a power train warranty, there are ways to reduce the cost of replacing your transmission. You can have your transmission rebuilt, which is a bit cheaper, or you can have a refurbished transmission placed in your vehicle rather than the new transmission, which is also less money. Regardless, this is still going to be considerable expense.
The great thing is that not all transmission problems require a new transmission. In many cases, control units like the transmission solenoid, which controls the shifting of the transmission, may often be the culprit for your transmission problems. Depending on the type of vehicle you own, repairs for a solenoid can range between $300 and $500. In some cases, your transmission oil cooler, which is usually affixed to your radiator, may not be working properly. In other cases, you may simply have a leak in your transmission pan seal, which is causing the transmission fluid to leak. This type of repair may only cost $100-$200.
The bottom line is you won’t know what the problem is with your transmission until you have it inspected. By taking your vehicle to a Discount Brake and Auto Repair facility, you can explain to the mechanic the problems you’re having, they can inspect your vehicle and determine what issues you’re having with your transmission and how much the repairs are going to cost. Until then, there’s no need to worry about the affordability of the repairs.
