Trustworthy Transmission Service and Repair
The transmission in your car is essentially the bridge between your engine and your wheels. Its job is to take power from your engine, transmit it through a series of gears, and supply your wheels with the appropriate amount of power at the appropriate time. For example, more power for acceleration, and less power for slowing down. You will often see transmissions labeled with speeds, such as five-speed manual, eight-speed automatic. The speeds, or gears, help define the amount of power supplied. Today, there are two main types of transmissions: automatic and manual. Of course, there are variations of both, including dual-clutch automatic, automatic with manual shift, and continuously variable transmission. Serving Ozark, Missouri, U.S. Automotive is here to make sure your transmission is running the way it should.

Automatic Transmission Services
An automatic transmission is automatic—as soon as you put the car in drive or reverse, it takes over the shifting of gears for you. It will determine which speed your car should be in to achieve the best performance. If you start to experience a problem with your automatic transmission, it’s important to promptly reach out to our transmission repair experts for an inspection. Putting off a necessary repair can lead to bigger and costlier issues. Common symptoms of a malfunctioning automatic include grinding or shaking in gear, or your vehicle refusing to engage or respond when in gear. Usually, this points to a problem with the transmission fluid. Noises can also be an indicator—keep an ear out for whining, humming, or clunking. Additional symptoms include a burning smell, slipping gears, or a transmission fluid leak. No matter what the problem may be, rest assured our transmission repair specialists can handle it for you. Examples of automatic transmission problems include a defective pan gasket, faulty torque converter, worn gears, and low fluid.
Manual Transmission Services
The manual transmission requires the driver to shift the gears themselves. To achieve this, there are three pedals the driver must utilize during vehicle operation: the accelerator, the brake, and the clutch. Of course, these are in addition to the gear shifter itself. Manual transmission issues can develop because of improper maintenance, poor driving, or high mileage. Often, a problem with a manual transmission deals with the driveline, linkage, or clutch assembly—the parts responsible for transmitting the power. Like automatic transmissions, manual transmissions can present various symptoms that let you know something is not right and may warrant transmission repair. Common signs to look out for include odd sounds (such as thumping, squealing, or whirring), grinding, and leaking fluid. Pay attention to how the transmission acts as well—difficulty when shifting gears, getting stuck in one gear, or the inability to get into gear are all signs of transmission issues. The causes of these are aplenty, ranging from a worn-out synchronizer and misaligned transmission to a broken transmission mount to faulty seals or gaskets. We can take care of these issues with our long list of transmission repair services. To schedule an appointment contact us at 417-865-9511, or visit our shop at 2445 W Sunshine, Springfield, MO 65807.
