Reliable Aston Martin Transmission Diagnostics Services

At The Car Lab Auto Repair Center, we understand the importance of a functional transmission in maintaining the quality and performance of your Aston Martin. Our team of experts uses precise technological solutions and proper examination methods to detect transmission issues. Regular checks for transmission flaws help prevent costly repairs, thus extending the durability of your car. Here is a detailed guide on how we diagnose problems with your Aston Martin.

Initial Consultation: First, we begin with a comprehensive consultation, where we gather any information you have on any signs you’ve noticed regarding your Aston Martin’s transmission, such as strange noises, difficulty shifting gears, or stalled gear shifting. These early signs and recent car performance changes can help us narrow down some possible issues. We also check the vehicle’s maintenance history to see if it has had past transmission work, which helps identify the present issue more accurately.

Visual Inspection: We visually inspect the transmission to identify any visible signs of wear or malfunction. This includes assessing the transmission housing for leaks, unusual noises, or signs of sluggish gear changes. The initial visual check helps us catch external clues of transmission issues, providing an early understanding of possible internal problems. We can develop a more comprehensive diagnosis by correlating these signs with the vehicle’s performance history.

Fluid Analysis: Transmission fluid analysis is a crucial part of our diagnostics. We also take samples of your Aston Martin’s transmission fluid and look for signs of contamination, such as metal shavings or the burnt smell, which can signal internal damage. The color and consistency of the fluid can give clues to the transmission’s health. We additionally check the fluid level to ensure it is within the manufacturer’s range because a low fluid level becomes a severe transmission issue.

Mechanical Inspection: If further inspection is required, we may remove the transmission pan to examine the internal components closely. It allows us to access the transmission filter and other critical parts. We look through the filter for debris and check the magnets in the pan for metal particles that might indicate internal damage. We also check the valve body and ensure the valves operate correctly and are not blocked.

Solenoid and Electrical Testing: In our diagnostic and testing procedure for the transmission, the solenoid and electrical components are crucial for its functioning. The solenoids from Aston Martin regulate the transmission fluid flow to ensure smooth and accurate gear changes. We examine these solenoids to ensure they function correctly and check the electrical connection for any signs of corrosion, loose wires, or damage that may impact the transmission’s efficiency.

Software Diagnostics: Modern Aston Martin vehicles have sophisticated software to manage transmission functionality with the Transmission Control Module (TCM). Our technicians use advanced diagnostic tools to run software checks, ensuring the TCM is operating correctly and up to date. We also check for software updates or recalibrations to ensure the transmission’s electronic components function as intended. Properly managed software is essential for regulating gear shifts and fluid control, and it plays a crucial role in preventing transmission-related issues.
