Automatic Transmission
Automatic transmissions are convenient and always work to put the engine into the best gear without any effort from you, but this can mean that they wear out quicker and require repairs.
Call 203-934-7251 to talk to the mechanics at Fred’s Auto Center if you’re experiencing any automatic transmission related problems
Clutch Repair
Did you know, despite the fact automatic cars don’t have a clutch you operate yourself, they still have one? Whether it’s an automatic or manual you drive, there will still be a clutch engaging and disengaging the gears. The clutch is integral to sifting gears smoothly, with overuse your clutch can eventually wear completely. This is more likely in manual cars through driving style but can happen in automatics too since the clutch is constantly engaging. Signs that your vehicle has clutch problems include:
Ability to rev the engine with poor acceleration. Difficulty shifting gears, spongy or sticky clutch pedal and clutch slipping (where you temporarily lose acceleration).
If your clutch starts to slip or feels light and spongy, you may need a replacement. Contact your local transmission shop Fred’s Auto Center to determine if your clutch is worn or not.

Front-Wheel Drive Transmission
In front wheel drive vehicles power is only transferred to the front wheels. The transmission sits at the front of the vehicle where the engines power is split between the two wheels. If you suspect you have a transmission problem with a front-wheel drive car, don’t hesitate to contact Fred’s family repair shop located on Platt Avenue, West Haven CT.

Typically manual transmissions wear less than automatics however still require maintaining. You can rely on our experienced technicians to ensure a safe, long-lasting vehicle.
Transfer Cases

If you have a problem with your transfer case, the automotive experts at Fred’s Auto Center will put the problem right.
Transmission Replacement
If your transmission is worn beyond the point of repair, you may require a replacement; this can be with a new, used or re-manufactured transmission to name a few options. Our experienced mechanics will help you to make the best decision for your vehicle and within your budget.
Transmission Repair and Rebuild
