Transmission Basics: What to Know Before Your Transmission RepairPower to the WheelsYour car’s transmission is what links the engine to the drive shaft. It’s responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels. Car engines produce power by driving a crankshaft with pistons. Your car’s dashboard typically contains a tachometer, which shows how fast the crankshaft is turning in revolutions per minute (RPM). The engine operates between a minimum RPM that keeps it from stalling and a maximum RPM. Gears and SpeedWhen the car is moving slowly, the wheels need
to be turning slower than the crankshaft. When the car is going fast, the wheels may need to be turning faster than the crankshaft. Signs of a Troubled TransmissionHow can you tell if your transmission needs service? Look for the following signs. Burning SmellIf you smell something burning while driving around, it’s time to ask your mechanic at Honda Marysville to take a look at your transmission. The gears might be grinding and overheating. Leaking FluidIf you spot some red fluid leaking from your car, it’s probably coming from the transmission. You may need to replace a gasket or otherwise seal the transmission. Slipping GearsIf you’re driving along and the car suddenly changes gears for no reason, that’s called gear slipping and is a sure-fire sign your transmission needs service. Gear slipping is often accompanied by a jerking sensation and a spike or crash on the RPMs shown on the tachometer. Weird SoundsClunking or whining sounds when you shift gears also point to transmission issues. Metal meeting metal makes sounds like these, and hearing them could mean you don’t have enough transmission fluid to lubricate between the gears. Types of Transmission Service at Honda Marysville of Marysville, OHThere are a few different processes that repairing your transmission might require. Fluid ReplacementThe simplest repair is flushing the transmission fluid from the system and adding new fluid. SealingFor leaking transmissions, your mechanic can replace the gaskets sealing in the fluid and patch any holes. RecalibrationModern automatic transmissions are computer-controlled. Some problems can be fixed by adjustments to the software controlling them. Shift Solenoid ReplacementShift solenoids control the flow of fluid through the transmission. If one or more of these have failed, your mechanic can replace them. Full RebuildIf the gears or other major parts are damaged, your transmission may require a full rebuild. That means taking it apart and replacing internal components like gears. How Long Should It Take at Your Honda Dealer?Most repairs are fairly quick. Flushing the fluid, sealing, and recalibration can be done within a day. Replacing the shift solenoids takes a day or two. A full rebuild, however, is very time and labor-intensive and will typically take three to four days. Having your car’s transmission in good shape is critical to keeping your car running smoothly and safely. If you see any signs of trouble, bring your car to Honda Marysville for service. If you catch the problem early, it might be solved in a day, possibly saving you a 3-4 day full rebuild.

Join Date: Aug 2009 Posts: 37 Likes: 0 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts Flex plate on my camaro broke and I need to replace it. My mechanic quoted me $400 dollars to replace the plate and do the crankshaft seal. I buy all the parts. Any way $400 turns in to 6 hour of labor... I don't think it takes that much to do all the work. Can someone with factory manual give me the official time for this job and if possible tell me how long does it take on practice. Also what other things are should be checked/taken care of while the transmission is out. Right now the only problem, besides a the plate, is a small leak (few drops) out of the rear transmission seal. Thanks Teching In iTrader: (1)

Join Date: Aug 2009 Posts: 37 Likes: 0 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts Well it's all done, unfortunately I feel I got raped by the guy $220 for a starter... cuz he said mine broke... He said it would spin but wouldn't engage, I bet they didn't connect they didn't connect the solenoids correctly. I replaced it 1.5 month ago still had the warranty, but since he got it out already there was nothing I could do. I know the f#$%ing starter is $100 plus $50-40 core for a total cost of $60 and it takes freaking 30 min to change it. The worst part is that I know the guy. This is another lesson I learned... I remember when I got charged $800 for timing belt (not a camaro) where there was $200 worth of parts and I hated the way the guy did it... since than I learned how to do timing belt on the street myself with dealer parts for $300... I guess same will be for transmissions. Thx for all your answers to my questions. Last edited by Gramozeka; 10-28-2009 at 08:54 AM. Reason: Thx for all your answeres to my questions.

If it didn't work when he put it back in and was done with the job, it could have been a bad cable connection or the battery needed a charge. Either way he shouldn't have replaced the starter without your permission since you had a warranty on the one that was in there. I mean the flexplate job is 4.9 hrs, so he is already charging you an extra 1.1 to do the seal. You would think he would just do the starter for free since it worked fine before he went in there, did it not? I could justify 6.0 if included replacing the starter after he installed it, otherwise I would have quoted 5.5 myself. Did he diagnose it or did you? I usually charge .5-1.0 for diag time depending on how involved it is. Registered User

Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Turnin' Wrenches Infractions: 005 Posts: 24,226 Likes: 0 I love all the internet super mechanics. Removing an auto trans in an fbody is a pain in the ***. If you can't do it yourself, I wouldn't bitch about a $400 charge. That's a deal for most people. If you've never done it before, and some mechanics have not, I would set aside a full day taking your time. The following 2 users liked this post by 01ssreda4: How long does it take to take out and replace a transmission?The amount of time required to replace a transmission often depends on the type of transmission and the vehicle. It usually only takes a day or two to replace a transmission in most rear wheel vehicles. However, some late-model, front-wheel drive vehicles can be quite labor-intensive and take three to four days.
How many hours of labor does it take to replace a transmission?Transmission Replacement Labor Cost
A big portion of any transmission replacement or rebuild is the labor cost. It's at least six hours to remove and install a transmission, often twice that.
How fast can you change a transmission?The good news is quite often, it doesn't take more than a day or two to replace a transmission. Of course, it depends on the model and make of your car, and the type of transmission it is. If you have a rear-wheel drive vehicle that's commonplace on the road, plan on being without your vehicle at least a day or two.
How long does a transmission change cost?The exact transmission cost will vary, based on your particular vehicle and your service department of choice, but you can expect to pay in the ballpark of $1,800 and $3,400 for brand new parts – and don't forget about the labor costs, which can run between $79 and $189.
