Did you notice shifting delays or strange noises when accelerating? Maybe your car hesitates when changing gears? Low transmission fluid can cause shifting issues that affect your drive. Ignoring these warning signs could lead to costly repairs or even complete transmission failure. Located in the Medical Center on Kirby Drive, Eric’s Car Care provides expert automatic and manual transmission repair services in Houston, TX, to restore smooth, reliable performance.
Eric’s Car Care – Service You Can Trust
Are you experiencing difficulty shifting gears, unusual noises, or delayed acceleration? These symptoms could indicate transmission issues. Timely attention to such signs is crucial to prevent further damage and ensure your vehicle operates smoothly. Our experienced technicians with advanced technology are ready to diagnose and address any transmission problems, ensuring your safety on the road. Our transmission services include:
Automatic Transmission Repair:
Automatic transmission repair fixes slipping, rough shifting, or complete transmission failure. As your closest transmission repair shop, we restore smooth operation and reliable gear changes.
Manual Transmission Clutch Replacement:
Worn clutch components can cause difficulty in shifting and reduce control. Replacing the clutch restores proper engagement and smooth manual operation.
Torque Converter Replacement:
A failing torque converter can cause shuddering, slipping, or overheating in automatic transmissions. Replacement ensures smooth power transfer and efficient performance.
Transmission Valve Body Replacement:
Faulty valve bodies can disrupt hydraulic fluid flow and cause erratic shifting. Replacing them restores proper transmission function and smooth gear changes.
Transmission Control Module (TCM) Diagnostics & Repair:
The TCM controls automatic shift patterns and overall transmission performance. Diagnosing and repairing it ensures precise electronic gear control.
Flywheel Replacement:
A damaged or worn flywheel can cause vibration and clutch engagement issues. Replacement restores smooth interaction between the engine and transmission.
Transmission Fluid Change & Flush:
Old or contaminated transmission fluid can lead to overheating and component wear. Changing and flushing the fluid maintains proper lubrication and prolongs transmission life.
Rear Main Seal Leak:
Leaking rear main seals reduce fluid levels and can damage the transmission or engine. Repairing the seal prevents leaks and ensures proper function.
Axle Shaft Replacements:
Worn or damaged axle shafts can affect power delivery and vehicle stability. Replacing them restores smooth drivetrain operation.
Shift Solenoid Replacement:
Malfunctioning shift solenoids can cause delayed or improper gear shifts. Replacement restores accurate transmission control and smooth performance.
Common Transmission Problems We Fix
Transmission problems can quickly affect drivability, performance, and safety. Our certified technicians at Eric’s Car Care in Houston repair these common transmission issues to keep your vehicle shifting smoothly:
- Slipping Gears: Slipping occurs when gears unexpectedly change or disengage, often due to worn clutches or low fluid. We diagnose and repair the issue to restore reliable gear engagement.
- Delayed or Rough Shifting: Hesitation or harsh gear changes can result from worn internal components, faulty sensors, or fluid problems. Our team addresses the root cause for smooth, precise shifting.
- Grinding Noises: Grinding or unusual sounds during shifting often indicate damaged gears, synchronizers, or bearings. We inspect and repair the transmission to eliminate noise and prevent further damage.
- Fluid Leaks: Leaking transmission fluid can cause poor lubrication, overheating, and gear slippage. Our experts locate the leak source and repair it to maintain proper transmission performance.
- Burning Smell: A burning odor may signal overheated fluid or internal component wear. We identify and fix the cause to prevent serious transmission damage.
- Hesitation When Accelerating: Automatic transmissions may hesitate due to fluid issues, torque converter problems, or sensor malfunctions. Our technicians pinpoint the cause and restore smooth acceleration.
- Check Engine or Transmission Warning Light: Warning engine lights can indicate a range of transmission faults. Using advanced diagnostics, we quickly identify and repair the underlying problem.
- Worn Gears or Broken Clutches: Severe internal wear, such as damaged gears or failed clutches, can compromise transmission function. We perform targeted repairs or replacements to restore reliable operation.
- Failed Torque Converter: A malfunctioning torque converter can cause slipping, overheating, or vibration. Our team repairs or replaces the component to ensure smooth power transfer.
- Faulty Solenoids or Sensors: Transmission solenoids and sensors control fluid flow and gear engagement. We replace or repair these parts to maintain precise shifting and performance.

How Much Does Transmission Repair Cost?
Transmission repair cost depends on whether the issue is minor or major. Small problems—like replacing sensors, seals, or fluid—are generally less expensive, while larger issues, such as repairing gears, clutches, or the torque converter, can be more costly. In some cases, a complete rebuild or replacement may be needed, which takes the price higher. The type of transmission your vehicle has—automatic, manual, or CVT—also impacts the cost. Because transmission problems vary widely, a professional inspection is the best way to get a clear estimate before any work begins.
Our Transmission Repair Warranty
At Eric’s Car Care, we stand behind the quality of every transmission service. Most of our repairs, including automatic and manual transmission work, clutches, and related components, come with a 36-month or 36,000-mile TechNet warranty, whichever comes first. Drive with confidence knowing your transmission remains protected long after leaving our shop.
Why an Auto Repair Shop is Better Than Mobile Transmission Repair
Mobile mechanics in Houston may sound convenient, but when it comes to complex transmission systems, safety, and long-term reliability, nothing compares to a fully equipped auto repair shop.
- Advanced Equipment: Shops are equipped with lifts, diagnostic scanners, and specialized transmission service tools that mobile mechanics don’t have.
- Full-Service Repairs: From fluid flushes and shift solenoid replacements to full transmission rebuilds, shops can handle repairs that mobile services simply can’t.
- Better Parts & Warranties: With OEM-quality transmission components and extended warranties, your vehicle gets lasting protection and performance.
- Safe & Controlled Environment: Transmission work requires precision, which is only possible in a clean, fully equipped shop—not outdoors with limited tools.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
With the engine warm and running, pull out the transmission dipstick, wipe it clean, and reinsert it fully. Remove it again to check the fluid level and ensure it's red or pink, not dark or burnt.
Transmission fluid should be changed every 30,000–60,000 miles, depending on driving conditions. Check your owner’s manual for specific recommendations based on your vehicle model.
Drain the old fluid, replace the filter if needed, then refill with manufacturer-recommended transmission fluid. Check fluid levels after driving briefly and top off if necessary for optimal performance.
