Frequently Asked Questions

Several warning signs indicate your transmission may need professional attention. The most

common include transmission slipping (when your vehicle loses power or doesn't engage

properly), rough or delayed gear shifts, transmission fluid leaks, and unusual grinding, whining,

or clunking noises. If you notice a “Check Engine” or “Transmission” warning light illuminated

on your dashboard, this is another clear indicator that your vehicle needs diagnostics. If you're

experiencing any of these issues, contact Shift-It Transmissions in Rome, GA for a

comprehensive transmission diagnostic test.

At Shift-It Transmissions, we follow a thorough three-step repair process to ensure accuracy and

quality. First, a qualified mechanic conducts a comprehensive diagnostic test to identify the exact

issue. Next, we perform a detailed fluid check to inspect the transmission fluid's level and

condition. Finally, depending on the severity of the problem, we either repair damaged

components like the torque converter, clutch, or gears, or recommend a complete transmission

replacement if necessary. This systematic approach ensures your vehicle receives the right

solution the first time.

Transmission repair addresses specific damage or worn components within your existing

transmission, making it the most cost-effective option when damage is limited. Transmission

rebuild involves disassembling your transmission completely, replacing all worn or damaged

parts, and reassembling it to factory specifications—essentially giving you a like-new

transmission. Remanufactured transmissions are professionally rebuilt units that meet strict

quality standards and come with warranty protection. Our experienced team at Shift-It

Transmissions can recommend which option is best for your vehicle's condition and your budget.
