Manual Transmission and Clutch Repair in Addison, TX

If your stick-shift vehicle is slipping out of gear, grinding during shifts, or giving you trouble when accelerating, it may be time for clutch or manual transmission repair. At Eagle Transmission and Auto Care of Addison, we offer full-service repairs for manual transmissions and clutches — from basic adjustments to full overhauls.

We understand the differences between modern and older manual systems, and our certified technicians provide honest, accurate service with clear communication at every step.

Manual Transmission Symptoms to Watch For

If your transmission is acting up, don’t wait. Early intervention can prevent complete failure and reduce repair costs. The most common warning signs include:

Difficulty shifting gears
Grinding or crunching when shifting
Gear popping out during driving
Whining, clunking, or humming noises
Fluid leaking beneath the vehicle
Transmission slipping or feeling disconnected
Stiff or spongy clutch pedal
RPMs rising without corresponding speed increase

If you're seeing one or more of these signs, your clutch, gear synchronizers, or bearings could be failing.

Common Clutch Issues

The clutch connects your engine to the transmission and disengages power when shifting. Over time, its moving parts wear down, especially under high-stress driving.

We frequently repair or replace:

Worn clutch discs
Burnt or slipping pressure plates
Throw-out (release) bearings
Pilot bearings
Hydraulic clutch cylinders
Clutch forks
Flywheel hot spots or warping

In many cases, clutch issues begin subtly and get worse over time. If your clutch pedal feels “off,” let us inspect it before the problem becomes serious.

When to Replace vs. Repair

Not every shifting issue requires a full rebuild. We’ll always try to repair or adjust first, unless the system is too far gone.

In general:

Fluid leaks, hard shifts, or worn forks may be repairable
Slipping, burning, or grinding typically require replacement
Flywheels can often be resurfaced rather than replaced
Synchronizer issues are common and fixable without a new transmission

We give you options and help you make the best decision based on safety, cost, and long-term performance.

Then we:

Check clutch pedal travel and hydraulic function
Inspect external linkage, cables, and fluid levels
Scan for stored codes (if applicable)
Lift the vehicle and check for leaks or wear
Provide a written estimate with no pressure

If we find internal issues, we’ll explain everything clearly before recommending a rebuild or replacement.
