Types of Automatic Transmissions We Service

Today’s vehicles come equipped with a variety of different automatic transmission types. At C.A.T.S, we are skilled in diagnosing, repairing, and servicing all major types, including:

1
The classic hydraulic automatic (Torque Converter) found in most passenger vehicles and 4WDs
2
Commonly used in modern Japanese cars and small SUVs for smooth, efficient driving
3
Found in performance vehicles for fast, sporty gear changes
4
Allows manual gear selection without a clutch pedal, used in many European cars

Each transmission type has its own servicing requirements, and we have the tools, training, and experience to ensure your specific system is maintained and repaired correctly.

Front-Wheel Drive Transmission Specialists

Front-wheel drive (FWD) vehicles make up a large portion of today’s market due to their space-saving design and improved fuel efficiency. In FWD vehicles, the transmission, often called a transaxle, combines the gearbox and differential into a single compact unit located at the front of the car. This setup requires specialist knowledge and servicing to maintain proper function and performance.

At C.A.T.S, we have extensive experience in diagnosing and repairing front-wheel drive transmission systems across a wide range of manufacturers. Whether you drive a small city car, a mid-size SUV, or a front-wheel drive van, we can service or rebuild your transmission with precision and care.

Why Transmission Servicing Matters

The transmission is one of the most complex and heavily used systems in your vehicle. Without regular servicing, transmission fluid can degrade, components can overheat, and internal parts can wear prematurely — leading to costly repairs or complete failure.

Routine transmission servicing keeps your vehicle shifting smoothly, prevents major breakdowns, and extends the life of your drivetrain. Early intervention saves money and protects the overall reliability of your car.

Our Transmission Services Include:

  • Full transmission fluid change and filter replacement
  • Transmission system diagnostics and fault finding
  • Minor transmission repairs and adjustments
  • Complete transmission rebuilding and reconditioning
  • Torque converter servicing and repair
  • 4WD and AWD transmission servicing
