Transmission Repair
Milito’s Keeps You Moving!
The most common transmission in this day and age, an automatic transmission, takes the work out of shifting to make driving smoother. If you are experiencing any drivability problems related to your transmission, trust the experts at Milito’s Auto Repair.
Manual transmissions need just as much (or more) TLC as automatic transmissions. Physically shifting the gears puts normal wear and tear on the clutch pedal and other components. While hands-on driving is fun, be sure to bring your car into Milito’s for scheduled maintenance and attention.
Our professional car repair services have been helping the people of Chicago stay safe on the road since 1968. Locally owned and operated, people come back to Milito’s for more than a fill up. We take the best care of you, whether you’re a first-time visitor or lifelong customer.

Diagnostic Technology
Our state-of-the-art vehicle scanners take the guess work out of diagnosing and repairing your car or truck.
While the clutch can wear out over time, the repair is a relatively easy maintenance job compared to the more expensive repair of the transmission. Sometimes a clutch disc wears out to a point where it needs to be replaced completely. Other common problems include stretched cable controls, a leak in the hydraulics and occasionally air bubbles form in the hydraulic line.
If you think you are having issues with your clutch, it’s best to bring it to a technician at Milito’s Auto Repair who can run a diagnostic test and help you pinpoint the problem.
Your vehicle’s axle, CV joint, and driveshaft components are integral to the performance and drivability of your vehicle. Over time and through normal use, these may require maintenance or replacement services.
While it’s hard to say how quickly your vehicle’s axle, CV joint, and driveshaft will degrade over time, Milito’s technicians are skilled at getting to the heart of the issue and accurately accessing all pieces and parts of a transmission to find the problem, recommending the best repair route possible.
The differential is responsible for transferring engine power to the wheels. It also compensates for and adjusts to the differences in wheel speed as your vehicle moves through turns. Whether your car or truck has four-wheel drive, front wheel drive, or rear wheel drive, your vehicle has a differential that experiences heavy wear and tear. As part of your normal car maintenance schedule, a differential fluid change can positively impact the safety and health of your vehicle. We can also tell if there’s insufficient lubricant or worn gears and bearings due to regular wear and tear. At the first sign of trouble, contact us so we can quickly diagnose and correct the issue.
You may not know much about transfer cases, but if you have a 4-wheel drive vehicle, you’ve got one. It makes sure you have power available for both the front and rear axles.
The best way to check if your transfer case is bad is too have Milito’s Auto Repair drain and check the fluid for metal pieces or signs of wear and tear. We will advise you on the best course of action to get your vehicle back on the road again.
