CV Shafts & Boots

At Glen Burnie Transmissions, we believe that the best medicine for a bad CV (constant velocity) joint is preventation. By the time you hear clicking and clunking or feel any vibrations, you already have an expensive repair on your hands.

The CV joint is the part of a vehicle's drivetrain that transfers torque at a constant speed to the wheels and accommodates the up and down motion of the suspension. It is encased by a protective rubber boot called a CV gaiter and is attached to the driveshaft. The area between the boot and the CV joint is packed with grease to allow for frequent movement. Cracks or fissures in the boot will let this lubricating grease out and contaminants in, and can cause serious damage to the CV joint inside. If caught in the early stages, all it will need is some grease and a new boot. Once you start to hear noises, however, you might have to replace the entire shaft. At Glen Burnie Transmissions, we recommend that you have your CV joints inspected at every oil change. If you do start to hear any noises or feel your car vibrating, bring it in right away.

Glen Burnie Transmission: Taking the Troubles out of "Transmission Troubles"

When you have drivetrain trouble, it is Glen Burnie Transmission's goal to get you back on the road as quickly as possible, with the job done right, and at the right price. If your transmission needs major repair, you are normally stuck waiting while it is being rebuilt. The difference with us is that we have the ability to replace it entirely, eliminating the normal wait time. We can do this because we carry a massive inventory of new, remanufactured, and used transmissions, instead of only carrying parts like most other transmission shops. In most cases though this isn't even needed. People often assume they will need a replacement when simple and seemingly-unrelated repairs are the real reason. We diagnose these problems for free, and you pay nothing until you decide to proceed with the job.

Vehicle problems are inconvenient to say the least, and loss of transportation seems to always come at the worst time. We strive to make this experience as painless as possible. We have operators standing by, as well as experts to provide diagnoses and estimates, completely free. We tell you exactly what is wrong and what we can do to help. We provide financing when needed, free towing (with repairs) for the vehicles we work on, and local rental vehicles are available to keep you operational. When you do need a replacement, you can choose from our huge inventory of remanufactured transmissions to get you on the road again in the fastest time and with the greatest confidence.
