Transmission Questions & Shop Advice

Transmission problems can leave you with a lot of questions. Maybe your vehicle is slipping between gears, hesitating when you put it in drive, or leaving a puddle in the driveway. It's not always easy to know what those symptoms mean.

At McMinnville Transmission, working on transmissions has been part of the McCracken family since 1976. From Chuck's early days rebuilding transmissions to Bo's work with today's six-, eight-, and ten-speed transmissions, the family has seen how much vehicles have changed.

One thing hasn't changed: Chuck's advice to Bo was, "Don't tell somebody they need a transmission unless you're sure they need a transmission."

That's the thinking behind the information you'll find here. We want to help you understand common transmission problems, recognize when something needs attention, and know what questions to ask before making repair decisions.
