Driveline & Transmission
Repair
The driveline is what puts power to the ground. When something is off — a vibration, a noise, a hesitation — it affects everything about how the vehicle drives and works.
What This Service Covers
Driveline repair at Midway goes beyond drivetrain basics. Rick rebuilds transmissions, transfer cases and differentials in house, sets up differential gears, diagnoses driveline complaints and fabricates custom driveshafts when an off-the-shelf part won't do.
Because these components interact under load, the work starts with diagnosis — finding the source of a vibration or noise before replacing parts — and finishes with rebuilding and setup done to proper tolerances.

Custom Driveshafts

Symptoms You May Notice
These are signs that may indicate a need for professional inspection. This is not a diagnosis — only a professional assessment can determine the actual cause.
- Vibration felt through the floor or steering
- Clunking or clicking when accelerating or turning
- Shuddering during takeoff or under load
- Fluid leaks near the transmission, differential or transfer case
- Slipping, hard shifts or difficulty engaging gears
- Whining or humming from underneath the vehicle

Tell Us What's HappeningWhy Professional Inspection Matters
Driveline symptoms can originate from multiple components. A vibration could be a driveshaft, a U-joint, a differential or something else entirely. Professional inspection identifies the source — preventing unnecessary parts replacement and ensuring the repair addresses the real problem.
What To Expect
- A thorough inspection of driveline and transmission components
- Clear identification of the source of the issue
- In-house rebuilding of transmissions, transfer cases and differentials where appropriate
- Custom driveshaft fabrication when needed
"They can do everything from the basics to custom exhaust and structural repairs."

Do you rebuild transmissions in house?
Yes. Midway performs in-house transmission repair and rebuilding, along with transfer-case rebuilding and differential rebuilding and gear setup. Rebuilding the unit is often an option instead of replacing it outright — we'll assess and explain which makes sense.
I feel a vibration at highway speed. Could that be driveline-related?
It could be. Driveline vibrations often become noticeable at certain speeds, but vibrations can also come from tires, wheels or other systems. A professional inspection will identify the actual source.
Can you make a custom driveshaft?
Yes. Midway fabricates custom driveshafts when a standard replacement isn't suitable — for modified vehicles, specific lengths or applications where an off-the-shelf part won't fit. Contact us to discuss your vehicle.
Diesel & Auto Repair
Diesel engines demand a different level of expertise — and so do the drivers who rely on them. At Midway Driveline & Diesel, gas and diesel repair starts with diagnosis: finding the cause before any parts are recommended.

Modern vehicles generate data. The right equipment, paired with the experience to interpret it, turns that data into an accurate understanding of what is actually happening.

Brakes, steering and suspension are systems where guesswork isn't acceptable. When something doesn't feel right — a sound, a pedal feel, a pull, a wander — it needs to be looked at by someone who will tell you exactly what's happening.
