    Transmission is a car engine component responsible in automatically or manually shifting gears to change the ratio between speed and torque. It efficiently delivers power to wheels basing on vehicle speed due to the high rotational speed output of the engine unusable in starting or in low speeds. The transmission reduces rotational speed while torque is increased.

    Because of its constant use, function within the vehicle operation and complexity, wear and tear is being experienced. Other owners forget also to regularly check the fluid and change it requiring it to be send to Rockford IL transmission repair shops. There are different factors that affect the cost of repair and here are a few of them.

    Their make and model of the vehicle is one of the factors and the domestic or standard models costing a bit lesser than those imported ones. The extent of damage is another with newer cars that are well maintained would cost less. Older ones, specially those that are rarer, have parts which are harder to find making it more expensive.

    Manual transmissions are cheaper to repair or replace compared to automatic ones. This would also depend on the shop as they charge differently for the same kind of work because of their reputation, location or marketing. Your location is also a factor since the price would depend on the cost of living, demand of services and availability of skilled technicians.

    Purchasing a remanufactured or used transmission yourself is a way of saving some money instead of letting them purchase for you. The item usually have a markup price when they purchase it instead making them more expensive so if you purchase it yourself then the installation service is what you only need to pay. Rebuilding it yourself could be another option when you know the process.

    Rebuilding is a long process and is done through disassembling the transmission while looking for parts that causes the problems and then replacing them. This process will find the reason it does not properly function instead of having to install a brand new component. Here are a few other things you could do before considering to rebuild.

    Change the fluid as one of the causes of many problems are the low level of fluids or the dirty ones causing a decrease in fuel economy. This will make a stickier shifting or stuck it to neutral when changing gears. This is an affordable and easy fix which even vehicle owners are able to do by themselves.

    Another is through checking the vehicle computer system that controls its automatic shifting. Few of the problems are caused by the RPM not being read correctly by the computer. Sensors can be replaced easily and disassembling the transmission then rebuilding it will not be needed making this another affordable and easy fix.

    If there is still a problem after the test drive then the mechanic will remove it and start disassembling them. Every part is inspected and cleaned then if it is found to be the defective one or just outdated, it would be replaced including those that really need them like seals and gaskets. They would also test the electrical system and make some repairs if required.
