Transmission & Clutch Repair Experts

With so many different makes and models of diesel trucks and machines, there are varying clutch and transmission designs and systems. The one constant between these various systems though is that eventually, they all wear and break down. At Absolute Repair, we believe that it is imperative to have a preventative maintenance plan which includes transmission and clutch service and adjustments according to the manufacturer's specifications in order to keep your truck running safely and securely.

Highly-Experienced Diesel Mechanic Team

The lifespan of your clutch and transmission systems is impacted by several factors, including driving conditions and how much weight you haul. Changes in clutch pedal pressure, unusual noises when you depress the clutch, difficulty shifting, temporary loss of acceleration, or slipping are symptoms of a clutch or transmission problem that needs immediate attention.

Correctly diagnosing and repairing transmission issues requires experience and the right tools. For example, sometimes a transmission will leak fluid but have no other driveability issues. When this happens, you can often avoid rebuilding the entire transmission by removing it and replacing external seals and selected components. However, in other cases, worn internal parts are too damaged, and a rebuild of the unit is required. 

Signs Your Transmission Needs Service  

Transmission and clutch life can vary depending on things like traffic, haul weight, and towing frequency. The team at Absolute Repair is here to help diagnose problems before your vehicle becomes dangerous to drive.

Unusual noises when pressing the clutch pedal

If you notice noise from your clutch when you release or press the clutch pedal, chances are your pilot, release, or throw-out bearings are failing and will need to be replaced.

Difficulty shifting gears, or into reverse

Difficulty shifting is likely caused by the clutch disc not moving away from the spinning flywheel. The culprit is more often than not the hydraulic system that operates the clutch, which could be leaking.

"Went in for a DOT inspection on my truck and trailer. They got on it super fast and didn't try to sell me any repairs that didn't need to be done as you'll find at many shops. The workers were friendly and courteous."
