How We Take Care Of Your Transmission
One of the most important aspects of Transmission Repair services is correctly diagnosing the problem. With today’s complex vehicles, the operation of a transmission is controlled and affected by many outside systems. With over 100 years of combined experience, our certified technicians at Metro Transmission Inc. in San Marcos, CA can accurately diagnose your transmission problems correctly the first time! We have extensive transmission diagnostic tests that we can perform to determine the cause for your transmission issue. Before we recommend any repairs, we do an initial inspection which includes the following.
- Transmission fluid condition and level check
- Check for damaged engine and transmission mounts
- Upshift and downshift quality
- Upshift and downshift timing
- Neutral test
- Reverse gear test
- Check for irregular noises and vibrations
- Park hold
- 4×4 gear test (if applicable)
After we complete our initial inspection, a more extensive inspection will be performed on your vehicle in order to determine if the cause of your transmission issue is due to an external component. We will inspect the following components to determine the source.
- Transfer case and differential fluid check
- Check all fluids
- Shift linkage
- CV Joints or UJoints
- Final drive
- Axles and shafts
- Any possible cable adjustments
- Vacuum Connections
- Line pressure tests
Following the first two stages of diagnosis and it is determined that the issue with your transmission is electrical, we will need to do a diagnosis of the vehicles computer system. We believe it is necessary to rely on our skills as professionals, as well as our state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to accurately diagnose the issue. In order to fully understand the scope of the potential issue, we will perform the following computer and electrical diagnostic tests.
- Scanning the various computers on board the vehicle for diagnostic codes
