Our Transmission Services
From a fluid service to a major repair, we handle every part of your transmission:
Slipping, delayed shifts or a warning light? We scan for codes, road test the vehicle and find the real cause before recommending any repair.
Old, burnt fluid wears out clutches and valves. A fluid and filter service helps your transmission shift smoothly and last longer.
Red fluid under your vehicle usually means a leaking seal, gasket, pan or cooler line. We find the source and fix it before low fluid causes damage.
Harsh or erratic shifting is often caused by a faulty solenoid, sensor or control module. We test the electrical side before replacing major parts.
When internal parts fail, we explain your options in plain language, with a written estimate before any work starts.
We also check differentials, transfer cases and driveshafts on pickups and 4x4s, so your whole drivetrain is covered.

Questions & Answers
What are signs that you need to change your transmission fluid?
The most obvious sign that it's time to change your transmission fluid is a warning light on the dashboard. Other signs may include engine revving when accelerating or turning, difficulty shifting gears, a chattering noise when you start driving, a slight burning smell, or fluid leaking beneath the vehicle. If you're uncertain about a noise, leak, or unusual driving condition, bring your vehicle to Blue Collar Automotive in Sellersburg for an inspection.
What is the average life of a transmission?
Regular fluid changes, filter replacements, and routine maintenance are essential for maximizing transmission life. Most modern automatic transmissions can last between 100,000 and 200,000 miles when properly maintained. Manual transmissions often last even longer and may exceed 250,000 miles with proper care.
Which type of transmission lasts the longest?
Manual transmissions generally have fewer moving parts and often require less maintenance than automatic transmissions. They are also less dependent on specialized fluids and electronic controls. As a result, vehicles equipped with manual transmissions frequently achieve longer transmission lifespans when properly maintained.
