Transmissions can wear out or sustain damage over time. While many transmission problems can be solved through repairs or maintenance, there are situations when replacement is simply the best (or only) option. Whenever that’s the case, turn to the transmission repair experts at Ricky’s Transmission Service in Spartanburg, SC.

Why a Transmission May Need Replacement Instead of Repair

A transmission comprises many moving parts, including gears, clutches, and bands operating under high heat and stress. Replacement may prove more cost-effective and time-efficient in severe cases, such as a catastrophic internal failure.

A few signs that might indicate a transmission replacement rather than a repair include:

Extensive Internal Damage

If key components such as the planetary gear set or torque converter have failed, the labor and parts needed for repairs can exceed the replacement cost.

Excessive Metal Shavings

When metal shavings appear in the transmission fluid, it indicates significant internal wear or damage. A thorough inspection will determine whether replacement makes the most sense.

High Mileage and Frequent Failures

If your transmission is high mileage and has experienced multiple breakdowns, replacing it may save you from recurring repair bills.
