FAQs
Should I repair or replace my transmission?
Many of those who bring their vehicle to our transmission service and repair shop are both surprised and relieved to learn that a problem with their vehicle's transmission does not necessarily mean it has to be replaced. In fact, there are several transmission problems that can be solved without having to remove the transmission from a vehicle. The technicians at our transmission shop are always available if you should have any questions. We will perform a Transmission Inspection to determine the best solution for your particular situation.
What can cause a differential to fail?
The differential in a vehicle is no different than any other component in that it is subject to wear and some vehicle's differentials fail before others. The leading cause of a differential failing is due to using the wrong lubricant type and specialty lubricants. Water can also be a culprit to a differential failing as it can enter through the vent or seals. This often happens when driving in high water. When water enters it will emulsify the differential lubricant and result in rusting on gear and bearing surfaces. Seized U-joints that result in vibration can cause differential failure as well.
How do I know I need a new clutch?
Changing the clutch in your car or truck is not dependent upon any specific time period or mileage level. Rather the clutch only need be changed when a malfunction is noticed. Vehicles that are mostly driven with frequent starts and stops, as compared to those driven on the highways, are more prone to needing a clutch repair.
Will Rincon Transmission repair a rear-wheel drive shaft?
Rincon Transmission will often repair drive shafts for our customers. A drive shaft can be straightened or if bent too badly the tube can be replaced. Our technicians may also balance the drive shaft as well as replacing the U-joints.
Will a driveshaft vibrate my vehicle?
The driveshaft on front-wheel vehicles rotates at the speed of the wheels. A bent or damaged driveshaft can result in vehicle vibration. On rear-wheel vehicles, the driveshaft will rotate two and a half to four times the speed of the wheels. Due to the relatively large size of the rear-wheel drive shafts and high speed, vibration is significantly increased. Other considerations that many result in vibration can include tiny dents, worn universal-joints, and missing balance weights. When a technician at Rincon Transmission has a customer indicate that vibration is experienced when accelerating or decelerating, the driveshaft is inspected as the most probable cause.
