Automatic Transmission Rebuild

The first step in any procedure is to diagnose the problem as we discussed in that section. It is really criminal what other shops, including some dealerships, have been doing to customers.

There are however many times a rebuilt transmission is recommended as the result of our analysis. It is an eventuality the nature of the mechanical aspects of a transmission being what they are, they will wear out at some point.

New, rebuilt, remanufactured, reconditioned, repaired and factory rebuilt are terms used in the industry. The total value in any of these terms is absolutely nothing! They confuse the consumer, and create confusion by design! We consider the following when we say a "rebuilt" transmission:

Cleaning – total disassembly, and cleaning to remove contaminants.
Tolerances – parts are visually inspected, polished and checked for wear before assembly begins.
Valve bodies – worn valve springs and plates are replaced. Electrical components are replaced.
New parts – transmission receives a replacement package of new clutches, rotating bands, rotating sealing rings, and all seals and sealing materials. These parts meet or exceed original specifications, assuring a long life.
Assembly – Our assembly procedures are done in a "clean room" atmosphere, and decades of experience help maintain a very high quality control during this critical process. Tolerances are once again checked at this stage.
Torque converters – every rebuilding process demands a quality torque converter. The time and effort spent in rebuilding a transmission would be totally wasted using an old converter.
