Solution: We performed a thorough transmission fluid flush and replaced the fluid with OEM-grade fluid, ensuring smooth and timely shifts. - Slipping Gears
Issue: The vehicle experienced gear slippage, resulting in a lack of power during acceleration.
Solution: We inspected the clutch plates and replaced them as needed, ensuring proper engagement and preventing further slippage. - Transmission Overheating
