Expert automatic transmission repair in South Florida

An automatic transmission is the most complex component in your vehicle — hundreds of moving parts, hydraulic circuits, clutches, and electronics all working together. When something goes wrong, a general shop guesses and swaps parts. At Number One Transmissions, transmissions are all we do, so we diagnose the actual failure and fix it correctly the first time.

Caught early, most automatic problems are a straightforward repair — a solenoid, a valve-body rebuild, a torque-converter replacement, or a fluid and filter service. Ignored, that same problem can take out the clutches and turn a repair into a full rebuild. That’s why we offer free diagnostics: so you can fix it while it’s small.

Signs your automatic transmission needs repair

If your vehicle is showing any of these, bring it in for a free diagnosis before a small problem becomes a big one:

Slipping or Flaring

The engine revs but the car hesitates, or RPMs jump without acceleration — worn clutches or low line pressure.

Hard or Delayed Shifts

Clunky, jerky, or late shifts, or a hard bang into gear — usually a valve-body or solenoid issue.

No Reverse or No Drive

A gear drops out or won’t engage. Stop driving — this is internal and gets worse fast.

Check-Engine / Limp Mode

Transmission fault codes or being stuck in one gear need a proper scan, not a guess.

Whining or Humming

Noise that changes with speed can point to a failing pump, bearings, or torque converter.

Red Fluid Leaks

A red or brown puddle means you’re losing fluid — and low fluid burns clutches quickly.

Process

How we handle your automatic transmission repair

The same honest, four-step process on every job — a solution, not a guess:

Free Diagnosis

We road-test and scan the transmission, check fluid, line pressure and codes, and pinpoint the real fault.

Honest Estimate

You get a clear written estimate up front. No work starts without your approval, and the price holds.

Precise Repair

From a solenoid, valve body, or torque converter to a full rebuild — done in-house by ASE-certified techs.

Test & Warranty

We road-test and verify the fix, then back it with a 1-year / 12,000-mile warranty.

Automatic Transmission Repair FAQ

Questions, answered.

How much does automatic transmission repair cost?
It depends entirely on the failure. A solenoid or fluid service is modest; a rebuild is more. We give you a free diagnosis and an exact written estimate before any work begins — no guessing, no surprise add-ons. Call (954) 535-9393.
Should I repair or rebuild my automatic transmission?
If the failure is isolated (a solenoid, valve body, or converter), a targeted repair is the smart, affordable fix. If the clutches and hard parts are worn or there’s metal in the fluid, a rebuild is the lasting solution. We’ll tell you honestly which one you actually need.
What does “limp mode” mean?
Limp mode is the transmission protecting itself by locking into one gear after it detects a fault. It usually means a sensor, solenoid, or internal problem. Don’t keep driving on it — get a free scan so it doesn’t become a bigger repair.
How long does an automatic repair take?
Many repairs are done in a day or two; a full rebuild usually takes a few business days. We’ll give you a realistic timeline with your estimate and keep you updated.
Do you offer free diagnostics?
Yes. Every job starts with a free multi-point inspection and road test so you know the real problem and the real cost up front.
