Transmission Repairs in Marietta, GA
If your car hesitates, slips between gears, or just does not feel right, you are not imagining it. Transmission problems show up slowly, then all at once. Most people in Marietta deal with this at the worst time. On the way to work. In traffic near Marietta Square. Or heading out toward Kennesaw Mountain.
Here is the thing. Transmission issues do not fix themselves. Waiting almost always makes repairs cost more.
At Solo Motorsports, we help drivers in Marietta get clear answers, honest options, and repairs that actually last. No pressure. No guessing. Just straight talk and solid work.

Why Transmission Problems Need Attention Fast?
A transmission does one big job. It transfers power from your engine to your wheels. When something inside starts wearing down, heat and friction build quickly. That is when small issues turn into major damage.
People often think it is just low fluid or a sensor. Sometimes it is. Other times, driving a few more weeks causes internal parts to fail.
Common signs we see every week in Marietta:
-
Delayed shifting or hard gear changes
-
Slipping while accelerating
-
Burning smell or dark fluid
-
Warning lights that come and go
-
Shaking or shuddering at low speeds
Sound familiar? If so, it is time to have it checked by someone who works on transmissions every day.
Local Transmission Repair You Can Trust
Solo Motorsports is not a general repair shop that only touches transmissions once in a while. This is a core service. We diagnose, repair, rebuild, and replace transmissions for drivers all across Cobb County.
Our shop works on:
-
Daily commuters
-
Family SUVs
-
Work trucks
-
Performance and enthusiast vehicles
Whether you drive through Historic Marietta or spend time stuck on Cobb Parkway, your transmission needs to handle real driving conditions. That is what we repair for.
Transmission Diagnostics Done the Right Way
Here is a mistake many shops make. They jump straight to replacement without confirming the root cause.
We do not work that way.
Every transmission repair starts with a real diagnostic process:
-
Computerized scan of transmission and engine systems
-
Road testing to feel shift timing and behavior
-
Fluid inspection for color, smell, and debris
-
Visual checks for leaks, wiring, and mounts
This part is critical. A bad solenoid feels different than a worn clutch pack. A fluid issue feels different than internal failure. Getting this right saves you money.
Automatic Transmission Repair in Marietta
Automatic transmissions are complex. They rely on fluid pressure, electronics, and mechanical parts working together. When one part fails, the whole system feels off.
We handle:
-
Slipping automatic transmissions
-
Rough or delayed shifts
-
Overheating issues
-
Internal wear and clutch failure
-
Valve body and solenoid problems
Some repairs are internal. Others are external and far less costly. Our job is to explain the difference so you can decide what makes sense.
Manual Transmission and Clutch Repair
Manual transmissions give more control, but they still wear over time. Clutches, bearings, and synchros take a beating in traffic around Marietta.
Common manual transmission issues include:
-
Grinding while shifting
-
Difficulty getting into gear
-
Clutch slipping or chatter
-
Noisy bearings
We inspect both the transmission and clutch system. Many drivers assume the transmission is bad when the clutch is the real issue. Fixing the right part matters.
Transmission Rebuild vs Replacement
This is where people get confused. Rebuild or replace? The answer depends on damage, mileage, and how long you plan to keep the vehicle.
Transmission Rebuild
A rebuild replaces worn internal parts while keeping the original transmission case. This makes sense when:
-
Damage is contained
-
The rest of the vehicle is in good shape
-
You want long-term reliability
Transmission Replacement
Replacement may be the better choice when:
-
Internal damage is extensive
-
A remanufactured unit is more cost-effective
-
Downtime needs to be minimal
We walk you through both options clearly. No scare tactics. Just real numbers and honest advice.
Transmission Fluid Service and Leak Repair
Low or dirty fluid is one of the most common causes of transmission failure. People often skip this service because they do not notice a problem yet.
Fluid services include:
-
Drain and refill
-
Full fluid exchange
-
Filter replacement
-
Leak detection and seal repair
Leaks are not always obvious. Some only show after long drives or heat buildup. We check common failure points and fix them properly.
Supporting Drivetrain Services
Transmission performance is tied to the rest of the drivetrain. If those parts are worn, shifting problems follow.
We also service:
-
Torque converters
-
Differentials
-
Driveshafts and axles
-
Mounts and related hardware
Fixing only part of the system causes repeated problems. We look at the whole picture.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does transmission repair cost in Marietta?
Costs vary based on the problem. Minor repairs like solenoids or leaks cost far less than rebuilds. Diagnostics give you real answers before numbers are final.
Is it safe to drive with a slipping transmission?
Short answer. No. Slipping creates heat and accelerates internal damage. Driving longer usually increases repair costs.
How long does a transmission rebuild take?
Most rebuilds take several days, depending on parts availability. Replacements can sometimes be faster. We give realistic timelines upfront.
Do you work on both automatic and manual transmissions?
Yes. We repair and service both, including clutch systems and related drivetrain components.
Should I flush my transmission fluid?
Sometimes yes. Sometimes no. Flushing a failing transmission can cause more damage. We inspect the fluid condition first before recommending service.
What happens during a transmission diagnostic?
We scan electronic systems, test drive the vehicle, inspect the fluid, and check for leaks or mechanical issues. This helps pinpoint the real cause.
Do your transmission repairs come with a warranty?
Yes. Warranty coverage depends on the repair type. We explain coverage clearly before work starts.
