When Is It Necessary for A Transmission Rebuilt?
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.
