Transmission Service – Maintenance / Rebuilt / Repair

Transmission King of Florida has been repairing and rebuilding automatic and manual transmissions for over 30 years.  Through proper diagnosis our ASE certified transmission mechanics can determine if your transmission needs to be repaired or rebuilt – saving you time and money!

Rebuilt Transmission – requires removing the transmission from the car and complete disassembly.  All parts are inspected and worn or damaged parts are replaced.  The transmission is then reassembled according to factory specifications, usually along with gaskets, seals, clutches and bands.  It is then rebuilt and reinstalled.  This is a custom procedure done by a transmission specialist. 

Repair – a repaired transmission is where one or more parts need to be repaired or replaced.  It could be a sensor or solenoid that failed, but these parts can be replaced without dismantling the entire transmission.  Some leaks may also be able to be repaired.  With a proper transmission inspection, road test, and diagnosis will determine if it is a repair or a rebuild.  This alternative allows you to save on cost, but it may not prevent other problems with your transmission that is unrelated to the fix.
Maintenance – proper maintenance of your transmission can prevent costly repairs.  Just like the oil in your car needs to be clean, so does your transmission fluid. To see more about how you can care for the transmission in your car or truck, see our tips for transmission service maintenance.

Transmission Maintenance - Automatic and Manual

Automatic and manual transmission function differently – their purpose is the same – MOVEMENT!  A transmission is made up of hundreds of complicated parts.  Just as you care for yourself, this critical part of your vehicle needs cared for as well with proper maintenance – starting with transmission fluid, which serves many purposes:  cooling, lubricating, transmitting force and pressure.  Basically it moves and protects the transmission, so it is important that the transmission fluid is clean.  Proper maintenance can prevent a costly transmission build or replacement.
