The transmission in your car transfers the power from the engine to your wheels, which propels your vehicle in motion. This system must be kept in proper working condition to provide you with a smooth, dependable drive on your commute and when driving for pleasure on the greater Las Vegas roads.
When the vehicle responds to the transmission shift a little late or the engine revs without increasing acceleration, there might be an underlying cause causing delayed transmission in your European model. This could be due to low transmission fluid levels, worn clutch components, or software glitches in modern high-end models. Sometimes these factors also cause gear slipping, where the gear shifts back to the previous one, without any action from the driver. Transmission repair at our Paladin Automotive facility here in Las Vegas will rectify this issue in your European vehicle model.
Transmission fluid plays a crucial role in the optimal functioning of the transmission module, serving as both a lubricant and a coolant. Low levels of transmission fluid due to leakages cause overheating, corrosion, wear, and sometimes complete transmission failure. The cause of leaks can be a worn seal or valve, damaged transmission lines, or a broken transmission fluid pan. If you’re experiencing a transmission leak, we’ll repair it seamlessly to get you back on the road safely and securely.
In older European models with a manual transmission, the clutch problem is often reported. A worn-out or damaged clutch can cause issues such as shifting difficulties when changing gears and a burning smell. Sometimes, when the clutch is completely damaged, the gear shifting also becomes damaged, rendering it unable to shift gears anymore. Rather than pushing it beyond its capabilities, we’ll repair or replace your clutch to give your older European model a healthy system to last for miles on end.
Modern European vehicles incorporate advanced electronic systems to control and enhance the performance of their transmission systems. Due to sensor failure, software glitches, faulty wiring, or battery issues, these electronic systems malfunction and exhibit unusual behavior such as erratic shifting, stuck gears, or dashboard warning lights.
In many European vehicle models equipped with dual-clutch systems or automatic-manual transmission units, the transmission modules are controlled by a mechatronic unit that synchronizes electrical and mechanical components. This unit can malfunction due to both mechanical and electronic factors, such as wear and tear, impact, or software glitches. This causes poor shifting of the car, pushing it into a condition called ‘limp mode’. Instead of letting it worsen, bring your vehicle back to its optimal condition by getting mechatronic unit repair and replacement at our Las Vegas auto repair facility.

Transmission service for European models is done every 30,000–60,000 miles. Depending upon the driving habit and the environment, your model’s exact number could be higher or lower than the limit.
Follow the service schedule when changing the transmission fluid. However, if you observe dark and foul-smelling fluid and shifting issues in your vehicle, consult a technician for a transmission fluid level check.
Some European models claim that their transmission fluid is designed to last a lifetime without needing to be changed. However, according to experts, it would be beneficial for the vehicle to change that transmission fluid at the 60,000- 100,000-mile mark.
In a manual transmission, components such as the clutch and synchronizers are repaired, whereas in an automatic transmission, fluid levels and leaks, solenoids, and electronic controls are addressed.
It is the process of replacing all the old transmission fluid with a new, company-approved one.
