At Gossett Automotive in Gatesville, TX, our goal is to educate you about your vehicle so that you can drive it safely and prolong its life.

Transmission malfunctions are sometimes hard to pin down and might even go unnoticed. A transmission slip can manifest itself in a lot of different ways because there’s not a universal or consistent way to describe it. Since it will vary based on the vehicle, how bad the issue is, and what components are at fault, here are some symptoms to look for in your vehicle.

Are you considering upgrading to a better transmission on your classic? Gossett Automotive in Gatesville, TX can help.

If you drive something old, there’s a good chance it has fewer gears than you’d like. With all the 6 and 8 speed transmissions on the road today, it’s hard to imagine that just a few decades ago we were getting by with just 2 or 3 gears. These days, there are some simple swap options - here are some things for you to consider.

At Gossett Automotive in Gatesville, TX, quality and precision are our top priority. For this reason, we employ ASE-certified technicians, to guarantee we’re the best in the business.

Mechanic

If you think your mechanic doesn’t have to deal with getting certified like other professionals, you are quite possibly mistaken. We say “quite possibly” because mechanics generally aren’t required by law to get certified in this country, so it’s conceivable that Bub down at the local filling station doesn’t have any meaningful credentials hanging on his wall. However, since the founding of the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) in 1972, a culture of professionalism has emerged and today about half of the country’s auto mechanics are ASE-certified. There are other kinds of certification, too, and other issues to consider when searching for the right mechanic. We’ll walk you through the details.

Great Experience here. I worked with Ray on a transmission replacement for a 2015 Nissan Quest. Nissan's have many transmission issues and as such replacement transmissions are expensive. I was quoted over $5000 by other shops for a used transmission with 100,000 miles. Ray worked to get me a BRAND NEW transmission and only charged $3500 installed. Ray is very responsive. I spent no time on hold. He told me when he was available and answered the phone. He communicated when they would be done and gave me updates. He also worked with me to get the vehicle towed from my house and to Waco to get the transmission programmed by Nissan. This wasn't necessary, but it allowed a 1-year warranty. Absolutely above and beyond work. High quality and good prices. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks!
