Transmission & Clutch Repair That Keeps Your Fleet Moving
National Fleet Management repairs and services heavy-duty truck transmissions and clutches - from fluid changes and shift motor repair to full transmission rebuilds and clutch replacement - at our Charlotte, Greensboro, Durham, and Statesville, NC shops, with mobile service available across our coverage area.
Transmission and clutch problems rarely show up out of nowhere - a hard shift, a slipping pedal, or a burning smell are usually early signs of something that gets more expensive to fix the longer it's driven on. Our technicians diagnose the issue first, then recommend the right fix, whether that's a fluid change, a shift motor repair, or a full rebuild or replacement, so you're not paying for more than the job needs.
What's Included in Transmission & Clutch Service
Transmission
- Fluid changes and flushes
- Shift motor diagnosis and repair
- Transmission rebuild and replacement
Clutch
- Clutch inspection and adjustment
- Clutch replacement (single and dual-disc)
- Flywheel resurfacing and replacement
What Are the Warning Signs of Transmission Trouble?
Missing Gears
If your transmission feels like it's in neutral when you shift into gear, you're likely missing a gear - this can happen while driving or from a standstill. It usually means too much friction inside the transmission, which grinds it apart further the longer it's driven.
Faulty Shift Motor
In heavy-duty trucks with automatic transmissions, a shift motor controls your gears. If shifting between gears is taking noticeably longer, the shift motor may be faulty or under-lubricated.
What Are the Warning Signs of Clutch Trouble?
- Pedal feels spongy, sits unusually high, or slips under load
- Difficulty getting the truck into gear, especially from a stop
- Burning smell during acceleration
- Chatter or shudder when the clutch engages
How Much Does Transmission or Clutch Repair Cost?
Cost depends on the job - a fluid change or shift motor repair runs far less than a full transmission rebuild or clutch replacement, and parts availability for your specific make and model plays a role too.
What Happens When You Call?
- Call or request service - describe what you're noticing (slipping, noise, pedal feel) and your truck's make and model
- Diagnosis - a technician inspects the transmission, clutch, and related components to confirm the issue
- Repair or replacement - fluid and shift motor work is typically the fastest turnaround; full rebuilds and clutch replacements are scheduled around parts
- Back on the road - you get a rundown of what was done and any preventive maintenance recommendations
