our vehicles automatic transmission is one system of a car that is often overlooked and is too often forgotten about until it is too late. Many drivers do not know that it is recommended that your transmission be serviced regular to preserve its life and performance.

Because your vehicles transmission can be one of the most costly systems to repair or replace, we urge all out customers to regularly service their automatic transmission and not to allow this system to degrade.

If your transmission is acting up, one thing you can do to troubleshoot is check the fluid levels.

Be sure to check the levels multiple times as one check may not be totally accurate. If your fluid levels are lower than they should be, you may have a slow leak.

A slow leak can be especially detrimental to your transmission because it will drop the fluid levels to a point where it causes excessive wear.

At Sebs Automotive we can handle all your transmission servicing and repair needs. Our comprehensive analysis of your transmission can identify problems, including:

• Fluid Levels – The level of your transmission fluid is crucial to the transmissions life. It is the coolant, the hydraulic fluid, and the lubricant. It also should be free of particles, clear in colour, and odourless.
• Road Test – During the road test of your vehicle we will check for shifting sequences, variations in operating ranges for gear selections. You may accompany our /technician and he will explain what is happening.
• Transmission and Engine Mounts – A bad mount will cause the engine and transmission to move under power and change the shifting sequences of your transmission.
• Transmission Oil Leaks – A bad seal or loose connections could cause loss of fluid significant enough to drop levels to a point where operation is effected, normally a simple repair.
• Check Transmission Linkages – Worn and damaged parts cause erratic behaviour in shifting and also computer and sequence processing.
• Transmission Pan – Well drop the transmission pan to check for excessive metal in the pan or in the filter. Metal parts in the pan are indicative of the need for further exploration into the internal parts of the transmission.
