Does full coverage cover expenses for transmission replacement?

No, your "full coverages" of collision and comprehensive would not cover the expenses for a transmission replacement unless your vehicle was in an accident covered by your insurance policy which caused the damage to your transmission. Mechanical problems not caused by damage from an insurable incident are not normally covered by an insurance policy.

Typically coverage for a transmission, and other mechanical issues not related to an accident or other insured incident, is covered under warranties or third-party additions.
