Reliable Transmission Service in Lincoln

Your vehicle’s transmission is responsible for shifting power from the engine to the wheels—without it, your car doesn’t move. At Gracious Auto Repair in Lincoln, NE, we offer expert diagnostics, repairs, and full transmission replacements for both automatic and manual vehicles.



Located at 10001 Weeks Dr, our experienced technicians work on all makes and models. If your vehicle is slipping gears, hesitating to shift, or leaking fluid, bring it in for a full inspection. We’ll identify the issue and provide clear, honest recommendations on the next steps—whether that’s a minor repair or complete transmission replacement.

Signs You May Need Transmission Service

Recognizing the early signs of transmission trouble can help you avoid a complete system failure. Common symptoms include:

  • Difficulty shifting between gears
  • Slipping gears during acceleration
  • Delayed or harsh gear engagement
  • Transmission fluid leaks (typically red or brown)
  • Burning smell from under the hood
  • Grinding or whining noises while driving
  • Check engine or transmission warning light

If you’re experiencing any of these problems, don’t wait. Transmission damage worsens over time and can result in higher repair costs or unsafe driving conditions.
