RV Acting Up on I-84?

When transmission troubles can’t wait 2 weeks…

Customer Experience ⭐️

“Recently while traveling through the area on I-84 my RV ran into some transmission issues. I had contacted other shops in town, yet no one could get me in right away; two week wait at earliest. After contacting Paul's transmission, Hunter and owner Randy squeezed me into their filled schedule to get me back on the road within a day. Hunter did a great job taking care of the rig, along with some helpful knowledge on the side. Great thanks to both of them! Would highly recommend Paul's Transmission & Auto Repair to anyone.” - Sean

Key Takeaways 📝

Transmission problems in RVs and motorhomes can appear suddenly — especially during long drives across highways like I-84 where vehicles are traveling extended distances under load.

Unlike standard passenger vehicles, RV transmissions are responsible for moving significantly more weight, which can place added stress on:

  • Transmission fluid systems

  • Cooling components

  • Torque converters

  • Internal gear assemblies

Common signs of transmission trouble in RVs include:

  • Slipping gears

  • Delayed shifting

  • Burning smells

  • Transmission overheating

  • Fluid leaks

  • Difficulty climbing hills or maintaining speed

Because RVs rely heavily on transmission performance for safe highway travel, continuing to drive with transmission issues can result in more extensive internal damage or complete failure.

At Paul’s Transmission & Auto Repair in Baker City, our technicians regularly assist travelers experiencing drivetrain or transmission issues while passing through Eastern Oregon.
