Transmission Service, Repair and Replacement Made Easy for Brooklyn Area Drivers

In many luxury vehicles from various manufacturers like BMW and Mercedes Benz, there are electronic control units installed and mounted in the actual transmission itself. With a more and more frequent fail rate, it is becoming imperative to find the proper mechanics and body shops that are able to order any replacement parts that are needed. At Bay Diagnostic in Brooklyn, NY, we are the experts when it comes to transmission service, repair, and replacement.

Typically tied into issues with the speed sensor itself, these failing control units are a hassle because the speed sensor is not replaceable on its’ own and rather requires the entire conductor plate to be replaced. Early models that utilize this method require the entire unit to be completely replaced while newer ones, fortunately, can be fixed by simply replacing either the control unit assembly on its’ own or by switching out the faulty conductor plate.

What makes finding a mechanic that can perform these tasks however is the increasing difficulty in securing replacement parts. Manufacturers like BMW, Mercedes and Porsche are no longer selling replacement valve bodies or conductor plate units unless the shop trying to purchase them has obtained a federal license.

Typically any transmission work is perceived to be extensive and expensive, oftentimes requiring drivers to purchase complete replacements should something be damaged beyond repair or an intricate piece be impossible to replace on its’ own.

3 Signs Your Transmission Needs Immediate Fix in Brooklyn, NY

1. Difficulty Shifting Gears

When your transmission starts slipping, you feel it right away. The car loses power without warning, acceleration feels weak, and the engine revs high even though the car is not moving as it should. With a manual transmission, this problem usually stems from the clutch not gripping properly due to wear or a low fluid level. Even if automatic transmissions show similar signs, the causes vary more. When you notice these signs, the best course of action is to stop driving and have it checked to prevent any damage.

2. Burning Smell

When a burning smell comes from your car, especially under the hood, low transmission fluid is usually the cause. After all, low fluid levels lead to overheating and degrade the fluid. A worn clutch, a faulty solenoid, a clogged filter, loose or damaged transmission bands, or a failing torque converter can also create heat and cause burning smells. Whenever you notice this smell, immediately stop driving and have the car inspected. Our expert mechanics at Bay Diagnostic can identify the exact cause before the damage spreads.

3. Strange Noises

Your car makes a number of normal sounds, but some noises require your attention. When these sounds begin, they typically indicate transmission trouble and should not be ignored, such as:

Whining: This occurs when transmission fluid is low, becomes dirty, or internal parts begin to wear out.
Grinding: This comes from clutch trouble or worn gears that no longer mesh smoothly.
Humming: Worn bearings create a steady hum that grows louder as speed increases.
Clunking: A hard clunk during shifting or acceleration signals stress in the driveshaft or U-joint.
Buzzing: A failing torque converter often makes this sound, especially when parked or in neutral.
Rattling: Loose transmission mounts or nearby exhaust parts cause rattling at idle.
