Frequently Asked Automotive Repair Questions

  • How much does transmission repair cost?

    The cost of transmission repairs can vary widely based on the nature of the problem, the type of your vehicle's transmission, and the specific repairs needed. We offer an external diagnostic service to identify the issue while precisely minimizing your expenses. This service includes a fluid check, a road test, and an evaluation of the external transmission controls to decide if the problem can be fixed through an external repair or adjustment.

  • What types of services do you offer?

    Dayton Transmission focuses primarily on transmission-related issues, offering various services to address your needs. If you suspect a transmission problem, we begin with an external diagnostic service, which assesses the fluid condition, conducts a road test, and diagnoses the external controls of your transmission. Depending on the findings, we may recommend adjustments, component replacements, or more comprehensive solutions like electronic repairs or a complete rebuild.

  • What are considered normal driving conditions?

    While many used car ads might highlight 'normal driving conditions', real-world driving often involves conditions that accelerate wear and tear. Vehicles driven short distances frequently or in heavy city traffic endure more stress than those driven longer distances at steady speeds. Extreme weather conditions, mountainous terrain, or regular towing can also degrade a transmission quicker than usual. Most manufacturers suggest servicing your transmission under normal conditions every 100,000 miles, but more frequent servicing is advisable for those driving under more demanding conditions.

  • How often should I change my transmission fluid?

    Manufacturers typically recommend changing your transmission fluid every three years or 36,000 miles. However, Dayton Transmission advises more frequent changes, especially if your vehicle is older or used for towing. To accurately assess the need for a fluid change, we utilize our external diagnostic service, which includes examining your transmission fluid level and condition, a thorough road test, and inspecting the external transmission controls.

  • What can I do to extend my transmission's lifespan?

    1. Check Fluid Level Regularly: Automatic transmission fluid is crucial for lubrication, cooling, and proper operation. Ensure it's at the correct level with regular checks.
    2. Address Problems Promptly: Small transmission issues can escalate quickly. Early intervention can prevent costly repairs.
    3. Annual Transmission Service: Regular fluid and filter changes can significantly extend the life of your transmission.
    4. Add a Friction Modifier: Certain additives can enhance the performance and longevity of your transmission fluid.
    5. Install an Auxiliary Cooler: An auxiliary cooler can be vital to prevent overheating—which is common in vehicles that tow or carry heavy loads.
    6. Add a Cooler Line Filter: Protect your transmission from contaminants with an in-line filter on the cooler lines.
    7. Maintain the Cooling System: A well-functioning cooling system helps maintain optimal transmission fluid temperatures.
    8. Tune the Engine: An efficiently running engine puts less strain on the transmission.
    9. Facilitate Easier Shifts: Learn to ease off the gas slightly before your vehicle typically shifts to reduce clutch load.
    10. Regular Checks at an ATRA Member Center: Always choose a certified ATRA member center for thorough, professional transmission care.

  • What should I do if a transmission warning light comes on?

    When a transmission, check engine, or overdrive light activates or flashes, it indicates a detected malfunction, storing a relevant code in the vehicle’s computer system. This warning should not be ignored, as timely diagnosis and intervention can save significant costs and prevent potential breakdowns. Our equipped facility and trained technicians are ready to assist you in diagnosing and resolving these issues efficiently.
