Transmission Repair & Replacement Services in Palmer, MA

Whether your car has an automatic or manual transmission, it is one of the most important systems in your car. Regular transmission service will keep your car shifting smoothly and help you avoid costly repairs. At Demore’s Automotive in Palmer, MA, we offer complete transmission maintenance. Our services include:

Transmission Flush

Your transmission needs fresh, new transmission fluid to function properly. Transmission fluid is specifically created for the transmission. It lubricates gears and improves valve performance. Just like the oil in your engine, your transmission fluid will break down over time and fill with debris. When this happens, your vehicle’s transmission fluid will need to be changed.

Signs it’s Time to Change Your Transmission Fluid

Demore’s Automotive’s technicians advise that our customers visit our shop for a transmission flush every 30,000 miles. If your transmission has gone longer than 30,000 miles without a fluid flush, we recommend a full fluid exchange. Our fluid flushes come with a bleed, refill, and even a filter change if needed. We also encourage you to schedule an appointment with us prior to your scheduled 30,000-mile flush if you notice any of the following:

• Difficulty shifting gears or delayed engagement when shifting
• Transmission slipping or surging, where the engine revs up without a corresponding increase in vehicle speed
• Unusual noises such as grinding or whining coming from the transmission
• Transmission fluid appears dark or burnt, indicating contamination or degradation
• Burning smell or noticeable fluid leaks under the vehicle

Our technicians always have your best interests at heart, so you can always count on us to only replenish your vehicle with transmission fluid that meets specifications.

Transmission Repair

On average, a vehicle’s transmission can last between 150,000 to 200,000 miles with proper care and maintenance. However, this can vary depending on factors like driving habits and vehicle type. When your transmission shows indications that it requires repair, you should never ignore them. Being able to identify the signs of transmission trouble will save you time, money, and a headache.

Signs of a Faulty Transmission

Your transmission should never be making an audible noise. If you notice any noise coming from the transmission such as a whining, humming, and clunking noise, then your transmission isn’t working the way it should. Grinding is another big sign that you need to get to an auto shop for an inspection and diagnosis.

Transmissions are designed to switch gears with ease and speed, if there is a delayed response, that could be a sign of low fluid pressure. A burning smell coming from your vehicle is also never a good sign, so if you smell one, bring it in to get checked out. It could be due to your transmission overheating.

If you notice any of these symptoms, Demore’s Automotive’s team is here for you. We will inspect your transmission, diagnose the issue, and recommend the best course of action. We specialize in a wide range of transmission repairs for both automatic and manual transmissions. Our skilled technicians are experienced in addressing common transmission-related issues, such as:

• Fluid leaks
• Difficulty shifting gears or slipping gears
• Delayed or rough engagement when shifting
• Overheating
• Unusual noises such as grinding, whining, or clunking
• Check engine light illuminated due to transmission trouble codes
• Transmission fluid that appears dark or burnt
• Loss of power or acceleration
• Transmissions failing to go into gear or shifting erratically

Whether it’s replacing worn-out transmission components, repairing damaged seals, or performing transmission flushes, we offer comprehensive solutions to ensure your transmission is functioning at its best.
