This consists of a road test, fluid check, lift inspection, diagnosis, and pan examination. This will provide a complete diagnosis of your transmission's performance and general condition.
Vehicle Multi-Check & Inspection
The road test consists of two parts, a stationary test and driving test which together comprise the most detailed portion of the Multi-Check. Every position of your transmission will be thoroughly tested for noises, slipping, harsh, soft or erratic shifting, as well as late or early shift patterns.
Road Test
Although it is the simplest test to perform, the fluid check may indicate the first sign of possible wear and damage. A transmission in good condition will have a clear red fluid. If your fluid is discoloured or has unpleasant odor, this may be an indication of internal wear and damage which is occurring as you drive your vehicle. This indicator in combination with other symptoms, may require an internal inspection of your transmission.
Fluid Check
During the lift inspection/diagnosis our technical personnel will check the following:
Lift Inspection
- Neutral Switch
- Engine RPM
- Throttle Linkage
- Manual Linkage
- Modulators Vacuum
- Modulator
- Transmission Mounts
- U-Joints
- Fluid Retention
- Electronic Controls
This will determine if a minor adjustment will correct the problem with your transmission.
The pan examination is the most important part of the transmission Multi-Check. It provides the technical personnel a partial look inside your transmission.
In all pans, there are some metal particles and friction material present. However, an excessive amount indicates internal wear and damage. If that is the case, and it is determined that a minor adjustment will not correct the problem, we will recommend the Inspection Service. This service will determine exactly what is wrong inside your trarismission and exactly what it will cost to correct the problem.
Pan Examination
Your transmission is one of the most complex systems in your vehicle with hundreds of precision parts operating together. Determining the exact problem and giving you an exact price requires removing, dismantling your transmission and performing an inspection of all the parts inside. We will then be able to tell you not only what is wrong, but also show you why it's worn and damaged, and give you some background in determining the cause. Should your vehicle require an inspection service, there will be a labor charge that our manager will review with you.
