Difficulty Shifting

If your drivers are reporting that their transmissions are difficult to shift, we highly recommend bringing your trucks in for service. Difficulty shifting is typically a sign that your transmission fluid is old and needs to be changed. Old fluid breaks down and fails to lubricate metal components properly, hence the difficult shifting. Fortunately, by flushing out the old fluid and introducing new fluid to the system, we’ll get your transmission back up and shifting like brand new! 

Overheating Issues

If your transmission is overheating, you may have a problem with your transmission cooler. Transmission coolers are designed to disperse the heat collected by your transmission fluid in the same way that a radiator disperses heat collected from your engine coolant. If this cooler gets clogged, or your fluid isn’t absorbing enough radiant heat, your transmission will overheat. Call today to get an overheating transmission repaired at Blackwater Diesel!

Clutch Issues

Sticky Clutch

Are your drivers reporting that their clutches aren’t engaging as quickly as they once did? This is a sign that your clutch is malfunctioning, and could indicate a much more serious issue. At Blackwater Diesel, we have the tools and time-tested processes to get your transmission back up and running. No clutch issue is too big or too small for our technicians. Whether it just needs to be maintained or replaced entirely, Blackwater Diesel has your back.
