Comprehensive, Tech-Savvy Transmission Scans
We utilize a comprehensive process to achieve results for our customers. Diagnostics are first. Our multi-point inspections always zero in on the problem and allow us to rebuild or repair the transmission. We first perform a road inspection and pay attention to initial engagements, drive ranges, upshift timing, and quality, downshift timing and quality, passing gears, clutch engagement, and for unusual noises. We do so in neutral, park, and reverse. We also check the following:
- Shift linkage or cable
- Vacuum connections
- TV/detent cable/linkage
- Engine performance
- Harness and ground connections
- Engine idle
- Mounts
- And more
Schedule a Vehicle Diagnosis
It’s crucial to schedule a vehicle diagnosis at AAMCO Des Moines, IA when you notice the following issues:
- Gears Slipping – Gear slipping occurs when your transmission is unable to shift smoothly between gears or falls out of gear as you drive.
- Burning Smell – Transmissions rely on lubricant to reduce friction and to reduce wear and tear. You may notice a burning smell if you’re running low on transmission fluid.
- Delayed Acceleration – Delayed acceleration occurs when the transmissions can’t provide adequate torque from the engine to your wheels.
- Fluid Leak – A transmission fluid leak should be repaired by a knowledgeable professional. If the leak isn’t fixed, it can lead to more severe issues with your transmissions in the future.
- Check Engine Light – Your vehicle’s check engine light is a safety feature that alerts you when there’s an issue with your car. They should never be ignored.
