Professional Clutch Repair and Powertrain Service
The powertrain system consists of the internal combustion engine, transmission and differential/axle assembly. The powertrain is controlled via an On-Board computer network. In a front-wheel drive vehicle, the transmission and differential/axle assembly are combined into a single transaxle. At Precision Tune Auto Care, we provide professional clutch repair and powertrain services for your vehicle to ensure everything is working properly.
Benefits of a Properly Maintained Powertrain System
- Longer component life
- Performance
- Power
- Low oil consumption
- Quiet operation
- Low emissions
- Fuel Economy
- Smooth positive shift quality
Internal Combustion Engine
The internal combustion engine converts chemical energy (gasoline) into mechanical work. It turns the crankshaft and flywheel to power your vehicle. Components include the cylinder block, cylinder heads, intake and exhaust valves, piston and piston rings, connecting rods, crankshaft, oil pan, lubricant (motor oil), and sealing gaskets. Routine inspections and timely service—including drivetrain checks and clutch repair when needed—help ensure the entire powertrain system operates efficiently.
Symptoms of a malfunctioning internal combustion engine include:
- Deep or shallow knocking noise
- Visible tailpipe smoke
- Overheating
- Loss of coolant
- High oil consumption
- Missing or rough running
- Excessive exhaust emissions
- External leaks
Transmission/Transaxle
The transmission connects the crankshaft flywheel to the drive shaft or axles and provides gear ratios for optimum performance and fuel economy. Proper maintenance, including transmission service and clutch repair for manual transmissions, helps extend the life of your drivetrain.
Transmission Fluid transmits power, lubricates, prevents corrosion, and removes heat. Performing a Transmission Fluid Exchange will remove and replace virtually 100% of your transmission fluid, providing longer transmission life and smoother operation.
Transmission Filter traps particles and oxidized fluid and protects the transmission from solid contaminants. Performing a Transmission Filter Service will prolong transmission life and provide smoother operation.
Components include transmission casing, valve body (automatic transmission), torque converter (automatic transmission), transmission pan (automatic transmission), clutch disc, pressure plate, throw-out bearing (manual transmission), shift linkages, lubricant, and sealing gaskets. When these components wear out, professional clutch repair may be necessary to restore proper shifting and performance.
Symptoms of a malfunctioning transmission include:
- Slipping
- Grinding when shifting
- Whining noise
- Failure to shift
- In gear vehicle will not move
- External leaks
Differential/Axles
The differential and axles connect the transmission to the wheels and transmit the power converted by the transmission. Regular drivetrain inspections, along with services such as clutch repair when applicable, help keep power flowing smoothly from the engine to the wheels.
Components include differential casing, hypoid gears, clutches (limited slip/locking differentials), lubricant, and sealing gaskets.
Symptoms of a malfunctioning differential/axles include:
- Whining noise
- Growling noise
- External leaks
