Rebuild or Replace a transmission?
So, your car is having a transmission problem, should you get a transmission rebuild or a transmission replacement? When it comes to a failing transmission, or even a transmission that has already failed, there are circumstances where you can be given both these options. Some people assume you always have to get it replaced, but sometimes it can be just as effective to get a transmission rebuild. There are a few things to consider if given the choice between rebuilding or replacing. The right choice can depend on the condition of the transmission and how all the parts are functioning. An initial check is a great way to get the status of your transmission, contact us today for a free initial check.
Rebuild Transmission vs. Replace Transmission
If your transmission is in an overall good condition, then a rebuild may be the way to go. The cost can be significantly cheaper than the replacement route. A rebuild requires more time and expert skills than a total transmission replacement. The process of a transmission rebuild can include replacing the clutch, bands, seals, and gaskets. The advantage of a rebuild is that you get to keep your original transmission while replacing specific worn out parts with the latest model of those parts, which in turn means the new parts will work effectively.
A transmission replacement may be necessary when a transmission is severely damaged, and even a good choice for moderately damaged transmissions. A transmission replacement does not mean a new transmission, in fact a replacement is actually a factory rebuilt transmission. So, the difference is that the rebuilding was accomplished in factory by factory specifications, instead of in shop by a rebuilder mechanic with his comprehensive knowledge.
When you get a factory transmission
replacement it has been built ahead of time, so the parts can only be as
up-to-date as the manufactured date of the transmission and can even have older
parts included in it. It does cost more to replace a transmission, but it comes
with a peace of mind for some people since it was built in a factory.
