Drive Shaft & U-joint in Marysville

Drive Shaft & U-joint in Marysville, WA

Marysville has grown from a strawberry town into one of the county's largest cities, with newer subdivisions spreading east toward Sunnyside and Getchell and daily commutes stacking up on I-5. A u-joint is a cross with needle-bearing caps on each end, simple, cheap, and absolutely critical, because when one lets go the driveshaft goes with it. Jamie's Transmission Service has repaired and replaced them for Marysville trucks and cars since 1988.

Straight Answers on Drive Shaft & U-joint in Marysville

The I-5 crawl between Marysville and Everett is hard on automatics: constant light throttle, torque converter locking and unlocking for an hour a day, and heat building up in traffic that never lets the fluid cool. The third symptom is the clunk, that solid thunk shifting from park to drive or between reverse and drive, which is play in a joint that should have none. On Marysville trucks that tow, that slack gets hammered by every load change and the wear accelerates.

How the Work Is Done for Marysville Customers

Marysville is truck country: quads and boats headed to the river, fifth wheels headed for the mountains, and plenty of 3/4-ton diesels that need transmissions built for what they actually pull. We replace u-joints with quality greaseable units where available, service carrier bearings on two-piece shafts, and check driveline angles, because a joint run at the wrong angle, common after lifts and suspension sag on Marysville trucks, wears out on fast-forward.
