Common Questions About Transmission Repairs and Services

What is a transmission?

A transmission is simply the gearbox of a vehicle. It is one of the most complicated components on a vehicle next to electrical. There are a variety of transmissions depending on the make and model of the vehicle. In some cases, the vehicle’s year can also make a difference in the components of the transmission. In some cases, the vehicle’s VIN needs to be confirmed. This is why it is difficult to quote prices without first seeing the vehicle. There are two types of transmissions: automatic transmissions and manual transmissions.
