A good mechanic should be ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) certified. ASE is a professional program that tests auto technicians on their knowledge and experience in several different areas pertaining to auto and truck repair. This would be a good way to know if your mechanic is qualified to repair your transmission.

How long can a repaired transmission last?

Indefinitely. It could last one mile, or 100,000 miles. The repair might even outlast the transmission itself, or not. All you can really count on (if you used an honest and reputable mechanic) is that your mechanic honors whatever warranty is on the repair for as long as the warranty lasts.

How Does a Mechanic Perform Transmission Repair?

Transmission repair is a kind of auto-work that is performed to repair the transmissions in motor vehicles. The transmission is the part of a vehicle that transfers electrical energy from the vehicle’s engine and adapts it for use by the vehicle’s wheels. Typical kinds of transmissions include automatic and manual transmissions. Automatic transmissions are the most common kind in North America. An automatic transmission has the ability to automatically select its own gear ratio unlike a manual transmission. Like many things in a vehicle, the parts of a transmission can become worn out or damaged. At this point, a transmission repair will have to be performed by a qualified transmission mechanic. First, the transmission mechanic will need to test the transmission. This is usually performed by the mechanic taking the vehicle for a test ride. This ride will help him or her diagnose the problem. During the ride, the mechanic will observe any sounds, movements, or performance issues that are tell tale signs of what could be wrong with the transmission. If problems are found, the car will need to driven into a garage and raised to an elevated level using hoists. The mechanic will then use a number of different tools to remove the transmission from the vehicle. The transmission will then be taken apart. Any worn out or broken parts that are found will be discarded and then replaced. After working parts are installed into the transmission, a number of different adjustments will be made to improve the transmission’s performance. This may include adjusting certain transmission bands, gears, or pumps using a number of different wrenches. After these adjustments have been made, the transmission will be reinstalled into the elevated vehicle. The mechanic will then fill the transmission with new transmission fluid. The mechanic will also make a number of adjustments to different linkages. The final step of transmission repair is a second test drive. Again, the mechanic will drive the vehicle and pay close attention to any sounds, movements, or other signs that will tell him or her if the transmission repair solved the problem. If everything seems fine, the vehicle will be returned to its owner.
