A Team That Takes Transmissions Seriously
Your transmission is the link between the engine and the road. When something feels off — a hesitation, a shudder, a gear that won't engage — it's imperative to have it looked at right away, before a small fix becomes a big one.
The technicians at BMW of Albany are factory-trained on every drivetrain BMW builds, and they don't take transmission concerns lightly. They'll diagnose the problem, walk you through exactly what they found in plain English, and get to work quickly — without cutting corners on quality. Got questions? Ask away. Answering them is part of the job.

What Does the Transmission Actually Do?
The transmission is the straw that stirs the drink. It takes the power your engine produces and delivers it to the driveshaft and wheels at the right ratio for the speed you're traveling. No functioning transmission, no forward motion — it's that simple.
Automatic transmissions use a torque converter to change gears on their own — the setup in the vast majority of modern BMWs.
Manual transmissions put you in charge of gear changes with a clutch pedal and shifter.
Transmission fluid keeps it all cool and lubricated. Having it checked and changed on schedule is the single easiest way to protect the whole system.
Five Signs Your Transmission Needs Service
Transmissions rarely fail without warning. If you notice any of these, get your BMW to our service bay sooner rather than later.
A burning smell
Usually means the fluid has run out or is old and dirty. It needs to be replaced immediately — overheated fluid destroys transmissions fast.
Trouble changing gears
Struggling or failing to shift points to a problem with the transmission or its fluid. Have it checked right away.
Leaking red fluid
Red fluid under the car — often paired with a faintly sweet smell — means your transmission fluid is escaping.
Grinding or shaking
A metal-on-metal grinding sound or random shaking while driving is a classic sign something's up inside the transmission.
Sluggish acceleration
Taking longer than usual to reach speed, shaking at a certain speed, or refusing to hit highway pace at all — all reasons to have the transmission inspected.
