Diagnose the shift complaint before anyone talks about a rebuild.
Clutch & Transmission Service
Plenty of transmission complaints are not transmission failures. Low or burnt fluid, a failing solenoid, a bad speed sensor, an engine misfire under load — all of them feel like a slipping gearbox from the driver's seat.
We test first. We have extensive experience with Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Subaru and Mazda automatics, CVTs and manual transmissions. If the answer is a clutch or a rebuild, you get a clear written price and a realistic timeline before anything comes apart.

Questions
Straight answers
My shop said I need a rebuild. Should I get a second opinion?
Yes — before you spend that money. We road test with live data and tell you plainly what the transmission is doing.
Should I flush a high-mileage transmission?
It depends on fluid condition and history. We inspect first and tell you when a service helps and when it is a risk.
Do you resurface the flywheel?
Every clutch job. A glazed flywheel will chatter the new clutch immediately.
