FAQ

Is it safe to drive there?

If it is slipping badly, overheating or stuck in limp mode, have it towed. Driving a failing transmission turns worn friction material into metal in the fluid, and that debris can make a repairable unit a replacement. Short and slow beats highway speed if you must move it.

How do I know the clutch is the problem?

On a manual, the engine revs climb without the car speeding up, usually in a high gear on a hill. The bite point creeping toward the top of the pedal travel is the other sign. A crunch going into gear points more at a worn synchro or the clutch not releasing fully.

Is an old car worth a transmission repair?

Weigh the repair against what the car is worth running, and against what else is tired on it. A sound body, good engine and fresh tires argue for fixing it. Rust, a burning engine and worn suspension argue the other way. Ask the shop what it would do with the car.

Does years in business matter for this work?

Ten or more years in business is claimed by [N_YEARS10] of the 24 shops here. Rebuild quality is hands-on skill, and a shop that has been in one place a long time is easier to hold to a warranty. It is a claim from their own website, not a guarantee.
