In this episode of the Bumper to Bumper Podcast, hosts Dave Riccio - Co Creator of Bumper to Bumper Radio and Jon Riggle explore one of the most misunderstood topics in auto repair: transmission diagnostics and the art of the targeted repair.
From Hyundai Genesis cases with no reverse, to bad check balls and spun bushings, Dave and Jon share real-world examples where deep diagnostic work saved customers thousands — avoiding unnecessary replacements or rebuilds. If you've ever been told "you need a new transmission," this episode will open your eyes.
What you'll learn in this episode:
- What a targeted transmission repair really is
- Why most transmission quotes over the phone are misleading
- The difference between general repair and transmission expertise
- How to spot and prevent misdiagnoses
- What really goes into a proper transmission diagnostic process
- The importance of TSBs, road testing, and verifying the real root cause

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
