Drive Shaft — Drive Shaft Balancing in Toledo, OH

Drive Shaft Repair in Toledo

Lay's Transmission provides complete drive shaft repair services to residents of Toledo, Ohio and the surrounding communities.

A vehicle's drive shaft is an essential component to ensuring that your car or truck can be driven properly and safely. The drive shaft's main function is to transmit the power from the engine to the vehicle's wheels. The drive shaft is connected to the transmission, which carries the power to the rear-differential.

When a vehicle is being driven, the drive shaft is in constant rotation, carrying the power to the wheels. As with most moving part, over time, deterioration can happen, leading to the need for repair or replacement of the drive shaft. Symptoms of a drive shaft problem vary and can often mimic the symptoms of other common mechanical issues, such as vibrations, squeaking noises and issues with shaft rotation. However, if you suspect that your vehicle may have a drive shaft problem, it's best to get it looked at to avoid further deterioration and potential costly repairs.

Auto Repair — Transmission Electronics in Toledo, OH

Automotive Electronics Repair

Lay's Transmission in Toledo, Ohio specializes in automotive electronics. Before you agree to a complete transmission rebuild, have the experts at Lay's use our experience and state of the art electronic diagnostic equipment to determine where your transmission problem truly exists.

Did you know that today's transmissions are entirely controlled by electronic components? In older vehicles, transmissions used to be controlled by a vacuum modulator. In addition, older transmissions were cable controlled and connected to throttle linkage, which activated the shift valves. Older transmission systems used to require complete overhauls in order to complete repairs. In contrast, today's transmissions are controlled by solenoids, sensors and yards of wires.

With the movement to electronically controlled transmissions, most repairs no longer require a complete transmission rebuild. Electronic components controlling transmissions are continuously exposed to weather, salt and oxidation, leading to electrical failures. Lay's Transmission has the experience and diagnostics to accurately determine what's causing your vehicle's transmission issues.

Lay's Transmission has invested tens of thousands of dollars for the latest automotive electronic equipment, including diagnostic systems for domestic, Asian, German and Euro vehicles. We also have the latest truck diagnostic equipment for all models of Allison from the 1000 series through the 4000 series.

Remember, if you've been told that your vehicle's transmission needs to be rebuilt, check with Lay's before you agree to a costly project that may not be needed. In many situations, transmission problems can be fixed by simply replacing or repairing the electronic components of the system. Lay's Transmission has been in business for nearly 60 years, providing accurate diagnostics, along with timely and affordable repairs. We pride ourselves on providing our customers with honest repair estimates, quality service and experienced technicians.

Lay's Transmission is your one-stop shop for complete differential and rear end repair or replacement. Located in Toledo, Ohio and serving the local communities, Lay's has been providing the same honest and professional customer service to vehicle owners for nearly 60 years

How do I know if My Vehicle Is Having Differential or Read End Problems?

Your vehicle's differential is what helps makes your wheels turn smoothly. Since the differential helps your tires turn at the proper speeds, problems with the differential can lead to your vehicle not being able to turn as they should. As components deteriorate over time, it's common to notice your vehicle not turning smoothly or to hear sounds coming from the differential. If you think that your vehicle may have a differential or rear end issue, it's important to get it looked it in order to prevent further damage and repairs.

Signs that your vehicle may have a differential or rear end problem:

Clunking or grinding noises when you turn
Clunking or banging when you put your vehicle into gear

Vibrations
Increased noise when accelerating

Fluid that pools near the rear of the vehicle
Humming noise while accelerating

Lay's Transmission performs all differential and rear end work in house, including stock ring and pinion along with bearing shim kits. We do not contract out labor to any other shop, which leads to us being able to keep the cost and turnaround time down for our customers. Our turnaround time on differentials and rear end work is typically one to two days.

A problem in your vehicle's differential or rear end greatly affects its drivability. If you suspect there's a problem, the experienced and qualified personnel at Lay's Transmission will provide you with all of the information that you need in order to make an informed repair or replacement decision. Give us a call today at 419-476-4088.

Transfer Case Repair in Toledo

The transfer case is the component of a vehicle that splits the power between the front and rear axles. In vehicles equipped with all-wheel drive systems, the transfer case makes it possible for the front and rear wheels to operate at different speeds in order to put the power where it's needed. In four wheel drive vehicles, the transfer case locks the front and rear axle drive shafts so that the tires are receiving the same power.

How to Tell If There Is a Problem with Your Vehicle's Transfer Case

If your vehicle is experiencing a problem with the transfer case or controlling electronics, your four wheel or all-wheel drive may not be operating properly. While other mechanical issues can have the same symptoms of a faulty transfer case, here are some common signs to watch for if you're suspicious of transfer case problems:

Your vehicle slips while in motion or chatters when turning
You hear noises when shifting gears or when driving at specific speeds
Noises that only occur from the front area of your vehicle when it's cold out

Grinding or squealing noises when the vehicle is in motion
Stuck in two wheel drive or four wheel drive only

Transfer Case Repair or Replacement

Many 4 wheel drive issues are electronic in nature and we will scan the computer and ohm out the circuits before pulling or repairing the transfer case as removal may not be necessary. If it is an internal problem, pulling and repairing the transfer case as needed will result in considerable savings. When you bring your four wheel or all-wheel drive vehicle into Lay's Transmission, our experienced mechanics will provide you with the honest knowledge that you need to make an informed decision on your vehicle's repairs.

With dozens of used and rebuilt transfer cases in stock, Lay's is able to provide a guaranteed quick turnaround time, while providing you with top of the line quality parts and service. For all of your transfer case needs in Toledo, Ohio and the surrounding areas, contact Lay's Transmission today at 419-476-4088.
