Transmission Services We Offer
At Joe’s Garage, we offer a comprehensive range of transmission services to keep your vehicle running smoothly, no matter the issue. Whether you need repairs for fluid leakage, internal diagnostics performed to identify transmission problems, or help with specific components like a clutch or four-wheel drive system, our shop in Eugene can handle any auto repair. From a manual or automatic transmission to a front-wheel or four-wheel drive system, we can diagnose and fix any problem to ensure your transmission has received the service it needs to function at its best.
Our competitively priced transmission services include:
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS
Automatic transmissions shift between gears automatically to optimize driving, and change gears based on the driver’s throttle pedal, vehicle speed, engine speed, and vehicle load. Typical automatic transmissions have 4-5 forward gear ratios, a Reverse, Park, and Neutral gear. Shifting gears occur automatically once the car is in drive. There is no need for a clutch pedal or gear shift like there is in a Manual Transmission. Automatic transmission repair is complicated based on all the components that make it up. If your vehicle’s transmission needs inspection, bring it by our shop to assess whether auto repair will correct the issue, or if a transmission replacement is needed.
CLUTCH SERVICES
There are clutches in both automatic and manual transmission cars, and different types of clutches. When shifting gears, the clutch engages and disengages from the flywheel and transfers the torque through the transmission. Clutches should help your vehicle start and shift gears smoothly. The clutch in your car receives a lot of wear and can eventually wear out. If your clutch begins slipping irregularly or is making noises that are raising suspicion, contact Joe’s Garage to see if clutch replacement is necessary.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE TRANSMISSIONS
A four-wheel (4×4) drive vehicle has differential gears, both front and rear axles, and a transfer case attached to the transmission. Four-wheel drive vehicles demand maintenance on the transfer case, front differentials, rear differentials, and transmission fluids. Visit us on 888 West First Ave. for service on your four-wheel drive transmission services.
FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE TRANSMISSIONS
If your vehicle has Front-wheel drive, the engine drives the front wheels only. The power is routed through the transmission to the final drive where it is split and sent to the two front wheels through the drive axles. The engine, transmission, and additional hardware are all located in the front of the car. If you need an inspection of your front-wheel drive transmission, our shop will gladly perform it and get any problems repaired quickly while keeping costs down.
MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS
Cars with a manual transmission require using the clutch pedal and gear shift to shift gears manually based on vehicle speed. Manual transmissions have been built with anywhere from two to eight gears. Front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive are the two main configurations for manual transmissions. Typically, manual transmissions require transmission repair less frequently than automatic transmissions do. At Joe’s Garage, our auto mechanics can diagnose your vehicle and recommend the transmission repair or transmission service you need. Upon your approval, we’ll fix it to ensure safety and improve the lifetime of your vehicle.
