    Automatic & Standard Transmission Repair in Houston, TX

    Expert repair for all transmission types — automatic, manual, CVT, dual-clutch — from Houston's specialists since 2006.

    Automatic & Standard Transmission Specialists

    Not all transmissions are created equal. A traditional 4-speed automatic is worlds apart from a modern 10-speed or a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Manual transmissions have their own set of issues entirely. At Build Right Transmission, we're trained and equipped to work on every type of transmission you'll find on the road today.

    Whether your vehicle has a conventional planetary-gear automatic, a manual gearbox with clutch, a CVT that's starting to whine, or a dual-clutch (DCT) system acting up — we've seen it before and we know how to fix it right.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Frequently Asked Questions About Automatic & Standard Transmission Repair

    Is it more expensive to repair a CVT than a regular automatic?

    Generally yes. CVTs require specialized parts, more labor-intensive work, and not every shop can service them properly. Some CVT components are dealer-only parts. We give honest assessments so you know what you're dealing with.

    Can a failing CVT be repaired or does it need full replacement?

    It depends on the specific issue. Minor problems like sensors, solenoids, or software updates are often repairable. Internal damage to belts/chains or pulleys usually requires rebuilding or replacing the entire unit.

    How do I know if my dual-clutch transmission is failing?

    Warning signs include jerking at low speeds, hesitation when pulling away from stops, lurching between gears, warning lights, and unusual noises. These often indicate mechatronic unit or clutch pack issues.

    Is my manual transmission cheaper to fix than an automatic?

    Often yes. Manual transmissions have fewer moving parts and no complex valve bodies or torque converters. However, some performance transmissions and truck manuals can still be expensive due to specialized components.

    Do you rebuild automatic transmissions in-house?

    Yes. Our technicians perform complete transmission rebuilds at our Houston facility. We disassemble, inspect, replace worn components with quality parts, reassemble, test, and warranty our work.

    What fluid does my specific transmission need?

    Every transmission requires its own specified fluid type. Using the wrong fluid can cause serious damage. We always use manufacturer-spec or approved equivalent fluids for your exact transmission model.
