Truck transmission diagnostics and repairs
Truck transmission experts
Trucks are heavy-duty vehicles designed to be efficient, powerful, safe and comfortable. For your truck to perform optimally, several different components, including the truck suspension, engine, transmission and tires, come into play. To ensure your safety, as well as that of other motorists on the road, you must have various parts of your heavy-duty truck serviced and repaired on a regular basis. This is certainly true in the case of the transmission, which, like other mechanical components, has limits in terms of service life and efficiency. In fact, the transmission plays an essential role in the proper functioning of your truck, as it’s an integral part of the powertrain.
Our transmission repair service
At TMS TruckMasters, our team of experienced, qualified technicians has all the necessary expertise to perform manual transmission repairs on heavy-duty trucks. Thanks to our state-of-the-art equipment, we can accurately diagnose problems in truck transmissions of any type or brand. Furthermore, our technicians have the requisite training to inspect and install new manual transmissions and to rebuild heavy-duty truck transmissions exclusively using parts recommended and supplied by the most reputable manufacturers in the automotive industry (Fuller, Meritor, Mack, Allison, TTC, GMC, ZF, etc.).
We recommend periodic maintenance to ensure the safe operation of your truck and prolong the service life of your transmission so you avoid costly repairs down the road. Our technicians will check the various fluid levels, topping them off or replacing them as needed, in addition to making sure that your truck’s manual transmission functions optimally and efficiently.
Does your truck have an automatic transmission? While we specialize in repairing manual transmissions, we can also perform precise diagnostics on whatever type of transmission your heavy-duty vehicle may have. If it turns out that your automatic transmission needs repairs, we’ll be happy to refer you to a professional garage.
Signs that your truck’s transmission is due for repairs
As the owner and driver of a heavy-duty truck, you’re intimately familiar with the way your vehicle functions, the little noises it makes, the way it handles on the road, the speed of the engine and more. As a result, no one is in a better position than you are to detect even the slightest anomaly. You should have your truck’s transmission repaired if you become aware of any of the following:
- Problems changing gears, whether it’s difficult or impossible to shift to certain gears or if the gears slip involuntarily
- Transmission fluid leaks
- The presence of dirty fluid
- A lack of oil
- A burning odor while driving
- A grinding noise when shifting gears
