Transmissions

Replacement Transmissions and Drivetrain Parts

Detroit Axle carries replacement transmissions for vehicles where original units have failed or performance has degraded. Transmissions are complex assemblies that manage power delivery from the engine to the wheels. A failing transmission will show signs like delayed shifts, slipping, harsh engagement from park to drive, or complete loss of forward or reverse gears.

We focus on a limited selection of transmissions. Use the vehicle selector tool to check availability for your year and make. If your vehicle is not listed, contact us to inquire about special order options.

Transmission FAQ

What does a transmission do?

The transmission transfers engine power to the wheels by selecting the appropriate gear ratio. This allows the engine to operate efficiently across different vehicle speeds. Automatic transmissions shift gears automatically based on throttle input and vehicle speed. Manual transmissions require the driver to shift gears manually.

What are the signs of a bad transmission?

Common signs include delayed or hesitant shifts, a slipping sensation (engine revving but vehicle not accelerating), grinding noises from under the vehicle, fluid leaks (usually bright red), a burning smell, or complete loss of forward or reverse gears. If you notice any of these, have the transmission checked before driving further.

Do you carry automatic and manual transmissions?

Detroit Axle carries both automatic and manual transmissions depending on your vehicle’s original equipment. Use the vehicle selector tool to confirm which types are available for your application.

What companion parts might I need?

Depending on your transmission failure, you may also need to inspect the CV axles and drive shafts for wear or damage. Your technician can advise if these components were affected by the transmission failure.
