How to Rebuild a Transmission
Should You Have a Transmission Rebuild?
Transmission rebuilds are major transmission repairs, so to necessitate a rebuild takes a lot and should only be done when necessary.
Most Transmission Problems Are Minor and A Transmission Rebuilt is not Required:
Most of the issues your transmission is likely to face won’t require a rebuilt. Beginning with the problems caused by lack of transmission fluids. Transmission fluid levels should be checked once a month and top them up when necessary. Newer cars have transmission that are computerized which adds to the list of items that can break and need to be repaired. The good news is that it makes the vehicle run more efficiently and allows for quick diagnoses once a trained technician connects the diagnostic equipment to your vehicle’s on-board computer. Overtime parts of your transmission will most likely need to be replaced due to wear and tear. Often these are accessible parts that can be repaired while the transmission is still in the body of the vehicle. Major transmission repair jobs are when an inaccessible part needs to be repaired but even then, it can be a fairly quick job. This brings us to transmission rebuilds
Transmission Rebuilds are Major Transmission Repairs:
A transmission rebuilt is necessary when damage is extensive or if the transmission problem cannot be identified by the technicians. When this happens, a rebuild is required to replace the parts with new or remanufactured parts. This involves the transmission being removed from the chassis and every part examined for damage. Frictional parts are replaced such as seals, gaskets, bands,
clutches, and the torque converter.
Rebuild or Replace a Transmission:
Replacing a transmission with a new one is extremely expensive compared to a rebuilt transmission. Most transmissions are really not new as by the time your car needs a transmission the transmission is usually not made anymore. These are more remanufacture transmissions rather than new transmissions. A transmission rebuilt is a great option in most cases because you are only replacing the parts that are damaged and its the transmission your vehicle is already accustom to. Having a transmission expert rebuild your transmission can result in a longer lasting and better performing transmission.
