Transmission professionals determine the cause of your transmission problem by a specific diagnosis method, which then enables them to make an informed decision about the need to rebuild or not. When a professional performs a transmission rebuild they have to go through a process. The process includes removing the transmission from underneath your vehicle, chemically cleaning the transmission parts, replacement of any damaged parts (such as gaskets and seals), electrically repairs if needed, update any outdated parts, then reinstall into your vehicle the rebuilt transmission.


If transmission problems are caught early, the transmission may not require a full rebuild. In this case, it is even sometimes possible to eliminate the need to remove the transmission from the vehicle to address the problem. This is a fortunate case, that saves time and money, but unfortunately, not all transmission problems are caught soon enough to do this method.


The cost of transmission rebuilds varies according to how many parts are damaged, how extensive the transmission is damaged, the type of vehicle you own, and several other determining factors. Therefore, there is no way that you could get an estimate of the cost over the phone or without diagnosing and examining the inside of the transmission. The cost of a transmission repair is something to consider, but that consideration must be weighed against the value of the work being performed.
