Transmission Service for your 2009-2018 Ram 1500.
What's typically involved
Transmissions are what we built the shop on. Rebuilds, repairs, fluid services, transfer cases on four-wheel drive trucks, manual clutches and synchros, automatic valve bodies — all of it. The scope of work depends on what's failing; the scope below is what's typically involved.
- Road test plus computer scan to confirm the symptom you described
- Pan drop and fluid inspection — clutch material in the fluid is a strong signal of the failure path
- Valve body inspection on automatics; clutch and synchro inspection on manuals
- Honest call between rebuild, replacement, and simpler in-place repair (e.g., a stuck shift solenoid)
- Full parts breakdown so you see what's in the quote
- Reassembly with the correct fluid type and fill level for your vehicle
- Final road test, fluid level check, and a 30-day check-in
What affects your final price
We don't auto-generate a price for your vehicle. The factors below are what actually drive the quote on a 2009-2018 Ram 1500:
- Whether the work is a rebuild (saves money on most vehicles), a remanufactured drop-in (faster, often more expensive), or a simpler valve-body or solenoid repair
- Manual versus automatic — manuals are usually cheaper to rebuild because the parts are simpler
- Whether you have a 4WD or AWD transfer case that needs simultaneous service
- Year and model — some transmissions are notorious enough that we know the typical failure mode before we open the case
- Whether the torque converter needs replacement (often yes on older automatics)
How vehicle type affects the job
Some vehicles are textbook for us. Toyota truck transmissions, Ford 4R series, GM 4L60E, Subaru CVTs from the 2010s — all on the wall in our heads. Some are rare enough that we have to spend a few hours sourcing parts. We'll tell you up front which yours is.
