What is a Transmission Rebuild and Why You Would Need One

Rebuilding your transmission is something you would want to avoid but that’s not always the case. So, when is it necessary for transmission rebuild or overhaul?


What Is Transmission Rebuilt or Overhaul?

A transmission overhaul, also known as rebuilding a transmission, requires the transmission in its entirety to be removed and disassembled from the chassis. The transmission is then taken apart piece by piece and is inspected for wear and damage. The process involves each component being cleaned with a special cleaning solution or depending on the condition of the part it may be replaced. The torque converter is considered part of the transmission rebuilt and will be replaced along with internal transmission sealing rings, clutches, gaskets, and all components that have fictional surfaces.


Manufacturer updates to correct problems with the design of a transmission are normally included in the rebuilding procedure for that specific type of transmission.


When Does a Transmission Need to Be Rebuilt?

Completely rebuilding a transmission is considered major transmission repairs and are for transmission that no longer function properly due to excessive damage. This type of damage could be caused by a collision or extreme overheating. Other transmission complications that could warrant a rebuild are inaccessible parts inside the transmission that are malfunctioning. Rebuilding the transmission would allow technicians to look for the components that are malfunctioning and replace them.


Alternatives To a Transmission Rebuild

If the technician specialist is suggesting a rebuild due to the excessive damage, you do have an alternative option and that is transmission replacement. A transmission replacement involves the damaged transmission being removed and a brand new, rebuilt, or remanufactured transmission is installed in its place. This must be performed by a transmission specialist or technician.

Are you in the market for a new car? Maybe you are considering a CVT transmission? Here is a quick overview of the pros and cons of CVT transmissions: Pros of CVT Transmissions CVT transmissions are mechanically less complex when compared to conventional transmissions. They are cheaper to manufacture since they require few parts. CVTs are considered very fuel-efficient because they are designed to allow the engine to remain within a specific set range. So, they don’t require a large powerband like the conventional transmissions. On top of the less complex and fuel-efficient design, they also offer a smoother drive because it doesn’t need to switch among gears. CVT transmissions are often enjoyed for their smoother drive/ride experience. Cons of CVT Transmissions Despite how great the pros of CVTs are, there are some cons to consider. The less complex, more simple design of CVT transmissions can also come with expensive repairs. When there is a problem with a CVT, often the entire case will require a full replacement, which results in a costly expense. The belt and chain of a CVT can wear out if it receives too much torque. From the design of a CVT, the pulleys can be under extra stress and can wear over time. Although a CVT transmission is a smoother drive, some people can tell the difference and find it odd. This is because they are used to feeling the performance of the engine. Conclusion Wonder what to look for in a CVT transmission? Opt for test driving any vehicles with a CVT to find out if you like the feel of drive and see if it has any hesitation. You can even ask someone who owns a CVT transmission if they would recommend their vehicle or if they have had any problem with their CVT. Some people only opt for a CVT, while others may tend to opt for a more conventional transmission. If you suspect that your car has a transmission problem, don’t wait!
