Heavy Duty Truck Transmissions Repair
Clutch and transmission designs vary depending on your truck and how you use it. Eventually, they all wear and break down. Preventative maintenance plans that includes your transmission service and adjustment will keep your truck running safe and secure.
Clutch and transmission life can differ due to several factors, including driving conditions, and how much weight you haul. Changes in clutch pedal pressure, unusual noises when you depress the clutch, difficulty shifting, temporary loss of acceleration, or slipping are symptoms of a clutch or transmission problem that needs immediate attention.
Correctly diagnosing and repairing transmission issues requires experience and the right tools. Most transmissions in today’s commercial trucks have electronic modules to help with efficiency and performance. If you are experiencing transmission drivability issues, you can often avoid rebuilding the entire transmission by correctly diagnosing what is causing the issue.

UNUSUAL NOISES WHEN PRESSING THE CLUTCH PEDAL
If you notice noise from your clutch when you release or press the clutch pedal, chances are your pilot, release, or throw-out bearings are failing and will need to be replaced.
DIFFICULTY SHIFTING GEARS, OR INTO REVERSE
Difficulty shifting into gear is often caused by the clutch disc not moving away from the spinning flywheel. Another likely culprit is the clutch brake is worn or misadjusted and unable to stop the transmission input shaft.
