Not every transmission problem starts with a warning light. Subtle issues, such as slipping gears, unusual noises, or delayed shifting, can indicate more serious problems if left unaddressed. At Milwaukee Transmissions, we offer scheduled transmission inspections to help you catch wear and tear early, avoid costly repairs, and keep your vehicle running reliably.

Whether it’s part of regular maintenance or you just feel something’s off, we’re here to take a closer look.

What’s Included in an Inspection?

A scheduled inspection is more than a quick once-over. We take the time to thoroughly evaluate your entire transmission system, utilizing both mechanical checks and on-road testing.

During your inspection, we’ll:

  • Check the fluid level and condition
  • Inspect for visible leaks or worn seals
  • Assess shift quality during test drive
  • Look for wear on mounts, cables, and connectors
  • Scan for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)

We tailor the inspection to your specific vehicle and transmission type—manual, automatic, CVT, or AWD.

When Should You Schedule a Transmission Inspection?

Inspections can be performed as part of routine maintenance or when symptoms appear. Here’s when to consider booking one:

As Preventive Care:

  • Every 30,000 to 50,000 miles
  • Before a long road trip
  • After buying a used vehicle

When You Notice Issues:

  • Rough or delayed shifting
  • Transmission slipping or jerking
  • Burning smell or discolored fluid
  • Unusual noises when changing gears
  • Warning light for transmission or drivetrain

It’s always better to get ahead of a problem than wait for it to become a breakdown.

Benefits of Routine Transmission Inspections

You don’t have to be a mechanic to know when something doesn’t feel right. A routine transmission check gives you:

  • Peace of mind
  • Fewer surprises
  • A chance to spot minor issues before they escalate
  • A longer-lasting, better-performing transmission

We believe transparency matters. If your transmission’s in good shape, we’ll tell you. If not, we’ll show you what’s going wrong and what to do next.

Serving Vehicles of All Makes

We inspect transmissions in:

  • Domestic vehicles (Ford, Chevy, Dodge, etc.)
  • Imports like Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Subaru
  • European brands including BMW, Audi, VW, Mercedes
  • Cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and commercial fleets

No matter what you drive, we’ll treat it like our own.
