In The Car Lab Auto Repair Center, we acknowledge the importance of a properly functioning transmission for your Cadillac’s excellent performance. Our skilled team utilizes sophisticated diagnostic tools and thorough examination methods to identify gearbox system issues with precision. Detection and treatment of gearbox issues on time can prevent costly repairs and extend the life of your vehicle. Here is a detailed description of our transmission diagnostics services process, designed to provide precise solutions for your Cadillac’s transmission needs.
Initial Consultation: The initial stage involves collecting precise information about any gearbox issues or signs, like unusual sounds, gear slipping, or delayed gear change. We must determine when these issues first arise, if you have observed any consistent trends, and when there has been a recent change in your vehicle’s performance. We can examine your vehicle’s maintenance records to identify any past gearbox repairs or maintenance and see what ongoing problems exist.

We can examine your vehicle’s maintenance records to identify any past gearbox repairs or maintenance and see what ongoing problems exist.
Fluid Analysis: We gather a sample of the transmission fluid for additional examination. Our team examines the liquid for evidence of contamination, like metal pieces or a scorched odor. We look for small particles with a magnifying glass that show possible internal harm. We also guarantee the fluid level aligns with the manufacturer’s recommendations, as insufficient fluid levels may result in major Cadillac transmission problems.
Mechanical Inspection: We remove the transmission pan to examine the inside parts if needed. It provides entry to the transmission filter and internal components. For debris or contamination and to examine the magnets in the pan for metal shavings, which could indicate wear inside we check the filter. We also inspect the valve body to ensure it is functioning correctly and look for any malfunction indications, ensuring the valves can move freely without any blockages from debris.
Solenoid and Electrical Testing: We check the gearbox solenoids to ensure they function properly. They manage the liquid flow and are crucial for smooth gear shifting. We also inspect for loose, corroded, or damaged connectors that could affect how the transmission operates and the electrical connections and wiring.
