Your car’s transmission is the critical link between your engine and the wheels, it controls power, speed, and efficiency. At Advanced Auto Works in Livermore, we specialize in complete transmission diagnostics and repairs for all makes and models, whether automatic, manual, CVT, or dual-clutch.
From strange noises to slipping gears, we’ll identify the issue and get your vehicle back on the road with smooth, reliable performance.
A vehicle's transmission ensures your engine’s power reaches the wheels appropriately based on your speed and driving conditions. There are two main types:
Shifts gears automatically based on speed, load, and throttle response
Includes traditional automatics, CVTs (continuously variable transmissions), and dual-clutch transmissions
Modern models often lack a dipstick, only qualified technicians like ours can check the fluid level and condition
Requires the driver to operate a clutch pedal and gear shifter
Offers greater control but can wear down if not properly maintained
Common in performance vehicles and older models
At Advanced Auto Works, we’re trained and equipped to handle both automatic and manual transmission systems with OEM tools and dealer-level diagnostics.
If your transmission is starting to fail, don’t wait, it can quickly lead to total breakdowns and costly damage. Look out for these red flags:
In manuals, grinding can mean a worn clutch or synchronizer
In automatics, shaking or stuttering during shifts is a common sign of internal transmission issues
If your car hesitates, jerks, or downshifts randomly, the transmission isn’t functioning properly
Clunking or whining noises while in neutral can indicate worn bearings or internal wear
Transmission fluid should be bright red and smell clean
A burnt smell or dark brown color is a sign of overheating or fluid degradation
Red fluid under your car? That’s a leaking transmission, a problem that needs immediate attention
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, schedule a diagnostic with Advanced Auto Works in Livermore right away. Ignoring them can lead to complete transmission failure.
