Automatic Transmission in Mukilteo

Mukilteo's Drivetrain Specialists for Automatic Transmission

Mukilteo climbs from the ferry landing and lighthouse up the hill past Harbour Pointe, and nearly every trip in or out of town involves a real grade. If your automatic is hard-shifting, flaring, skipping gears or shuddering, Jamie's Transmission Service will find out why for Mukilteo drivers the same way every time: road test for your symptoms, scan for codes, fluid level and color, and a pan drop when the evidence calls for it.

What Mukilteo Driving Does to Your Drivetrain

The Mukilteo Speedway's long climb and the ferry queue put sustained load and idle-creep on transmissions in the same commute, a combination that finds weak converter clutches and marginal fluid fast. Once a converter starts shuddering the clock is running, because the converter and transmission share fluid. Debris from the dying converter clutch clogs passages, sticks valves and solenoids, bleeds pressure off the clutch packs and burns up the unit. That is why we tell Mukilteo customers not to drive on a shudder hoping it goes away.

Why Mukilteo Trusts a Specialty Shop

Mukilteo runs newer than most areas we serve, and much of our work here is on 6-, 8- and 10-speed automatics whose valve bodies wear in exactly the way Jaden describes from the newer platforms. Every automatic rebuild gets all new soft parts: clutches, bands, bushings, washers, bearings, seals, gaskets, pistons. Hard parts like the case, pump and drums go through the wash, then get inspected and measured, and anything out of spec is replaced rather than reused. And always, for every Mukilteo rebuild, a new torque converter.
