Transmission Services
Your European transmission, whether it’s a ZF automatic, DSG dual-clutch or manual gearbox, is a marvel of engineering precision. But it needs proper care to operate at its best for years to come. At Northwest European Autoworks, we provide specialized transmission maintenance that preserves performance and prevents premature failures.
We protect your drivetrain investment with the same care we give our own.
Shift smoothly. Drive confidently.
Our Step-by-Step Diagnostic Process:
We don’t guess, we diagnose. Here’s how we approach each transmission situation:
Fluid and Filter Replacement
We use manufacturer-approved fluids and OEM-quality filters to restore shift quality and cooling performance.
Adaptation and Software Updates
We perform required reset procedures after fluid changes to ensure proper operation and relearn shift patterns.
Pan and Valve Body Inspection
During service, we inspect for excessive debris, early valve body wear, or shift solenoid issues.
Leak Detection and Repair
We inspect transmission pans, seals, cooling lines, and connections for leaks that could lead to catastrophic failure.Shift Quality Road Test
We road test the vehicle before and after service to confirm improvement in smoothness and response.
Common Symptoms of Transmission Issues:
Delayed or harsh shifting
Slipping gears or revving without acceleration
Fluid leaks underneath vehicle
Transmission overheating warnings
Why Transmission Maintenance Is Essential:
Ignoring transmission service leads to rough shifts, overheating, and premature failure, often at extremely high repair costs. Proper service extends life, protects performance, and saves thousands long-term.
