GMC Sierra Owner Gets Transmission Serviced at Ralph’s Transmission

A technician explores the underbelly of a vehicle.Gabriel drives a 2001 GMC Sierra 3500. He noticed that transmission fluid was leaking underneath his truck, and that’s often a sign of transmission trouble. Sometimes, it just means that the transmission pan gasket is worn out and it’s about time for a standard transmission service. Either way, Gabriel wanted to get a professional assessment, so he brought his GMC truck to Ralph’s Transmission in Modesto for a free inspection.

“Very friendly staff at the front desk,” Gabriel writes in his recent Yelp review. “They all seemed very knowledgeable about everything and made me feel confident that my truck was going to be taken care of. Shop looked super clean and professional, really taking their shop to the next level and differentiating from other shops.”

After initial inspection from the transmission technicians at Ralph’s Transmission, Gabriel’s concerns of a transmission fluid leak were verified. There were leaks found along the transmission pan gasket, as well as the case plug O-ring. The fluid was also discolored and clearly needed to be replaced soon. A road test and diagnostic tests confirmed that there were no other major concerns. The truck was simply due for a standard transmission service.

The O-ring and pan gasket were replaced, along with the transmission filter. The pan was cleaned, reinstalled and filled with fresh automatic transmission fluid. The truck was road tested again to make sure everything was running right, and we were able to provide Gabriel with service updates throughout the process. We always want our customers to know exactly what is going on with their vehicles while they are in our shop.
