Signs Your Transmission Needs Service

Transmission problems often start subtly and worsen over time. Knowing the early signs can save you thousands in repairs and prevent roadside breakdowns.

Common warning signs include:



  • Delayed or rough shifting
  • Slipping gears while driving
  • Fluid leaks under the truck
  • Grinding or whining noises
  • Check transmission light or error codes
  • Loss of power to wheels
  • Difficulty engaging drive or reverse
  • Burning smell from undercarriage

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, don’t wait. Early diagnostics can often prevent a full rebuild and extend the life of your transmission.

Transmission Rebuilds and Replacements

In cases of major failure, a full rebuild or transmission replacement may be the best solution. Thompson & Sons Inc. offers in-house rebuilds for many transmission types, as well as access to remanufactured OEM units.



Benefits of a rebuild or reman unit:


  • Restores original performance
  • Addresses internal wear and damage
  • Includes updated components and gaskets
  • Backed by warranty options
  • Cost-effective vs. total truck replacement

We’ll walk you through your options and provide transparent pricing based on your truck’s make, model, mileage, and usage.

Fleet operators rely on consistent powertrain performance to meet delivery timelines and safety standards. We work with local companies and contractors across northeast Montana to provide preventive transmission maintenance and timely repairs for fleet vehicles.



Fleet services include:


  • Scheduled fluid service and filter changes
  • On-site diagnostics and inspections
  • Priority turnaround for urgent repairs
  • Detailed service history tracking
  • Discounted labor rates for fleet clients

Avoid costly downtime and transmission failure by keeping your fleet serviced by our experienced heavy-duty technicians.
