Our competitively priced transmission services include:
Automatic Transmission
Automatic Transmissions shift between gears
automatically to optimize driving, and changes
gears based on the driver's throttle pedal, vehicle
speed, engine speed, and vehicle load. Typical
automatic transmissions have 4-5 forward gear
ratios, a Reverse, Park, and Neutral gear. Shifting
gears occur automatically once the car is in Drive
and there is no need for a clutch pedal or gear
shift like there is in a Manual Transmission.
Automatic transmission repair is complicated based
on all the components that make it up, and you need
to have any automatic transmission issues properly
assessed by auto mechanics. Call (860) 691-3090 to
talk to the mechanics of A-1 Auto Center LLC about
your transmission problems.
Clutches
There are clutches in both automatic and manual
transmission cars, and different types of clutches.
When shifting gears, the clutch engages and
disengages from the flywheel and transfers the
torque through the transmission. Clutches should
help your vehicle start and shift gears smoothly.
The clutch in your car receives a lot of use and
can eventually wear out. If your clutch begins
slipping irregularly or is making noises that are
raising suspicion, contact A-1 Auto Center LLC to
see if clutch replacement is necessary.
Four-Wheel Drive Transmission
A four-wheel (4x4) drive vehicle has differential
gears, both front and rear axles, and a transfer
case attached to the transmission. Four-wheel drive
vehicles demand maintenance on the transfer case,
front differentials, rear differentials, and
transmission fluids. Visit us on 208 Flanders Road
for service on your four-wheel drive transmission
services.
Front-Wheel Drive Transmission
If your vehicle has front-wheel drive, the engine
drives the front wheels only. The power is routed
through the transmission to the final drive where
it is split and sent to the two front wheels through
the drive axles. The engine, transmission, and
additional hardware is all located in the front of
the car. If you are in need, A-1 Auto Center LLC of
Niantic, CT will gladly repair front-wheel drive
transmission vehicles.
Manual Transmission
Driving a vehicle with a Manual Transmission requires
using the clutch pedal and gear shift to manually
shift gears based on the speed of the vehicle. Manual
transmissions have been built with anywhere from two
to eight gears. Front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive
are the two main configurations for manual
transmissions. Typically, manual transmissions require
less maintenance than automatic transmissions. At
A-1 Auto Center LLC, our auto mechanics can diagnose
your vehicle and then recommend the transmission
repair or transmission service you need to ensure
safety and improve the lifetime of your vehicle.
