Transmission Rebuild NJ

If your car is slow on changing up or down or is having jerky noises when changing the gear, it may have a transmission problem. One remedy for an extensively damaged transmission is a transmission rebuild. This is where the transmission system is taken apart completely and put back together after replacing damaged or worn out parts. On today’s blog we at European Exchange would like to go into great detail about transmission rebuild in NJ.

What is involved?

Transmission Rebuild NJ 

A transmission diagnosis is done to determine if there is a need for a transmission rebuild. If the mechanic finds out there is a need for it, the process he will follow includes:

•    Taking apart the transmission system

•    Cleaning the transmission using a parts washer which is a chemical solvent

•    Replacing wonky, worn and damaged parts along with seals and gaskets

•    Performing any electric repairs

•    Updating the transmission if there have been advances in transmission in your car’s model

•    Re-assembling the transmission and putting it back in the car

Replacing parts is inevitable

If there is a need for a transmission rebuild, replacing some parts is inevitable. The parts that are commonly replaced include:

1.    Soft parts

This is also known as the Master Rebuild Kit (MRK). These are the parts that are designed to wear out. They include seals, clutches, gaskets, bands, bushings, bearings sealing rings, and transmission 

filter.

2.    Hard parts

These are parts that are not included in the rebuild kit. This could be a solenoid or even the transmission case.

3.    Torque converter

The converter will usually have a lot of debris. The problem is usually that the torque converter can’t be cleaned or flushed out. It has to be replaced in the case of a transmission rebuild

4.    Upgrades

These are parts which new versions have come up.  Putting in these new versions will improve the performance of the transmission.

5.    Transmission fluid

New Automatic Transmission Fluid will be needed for a rebuild.

What does it cost?

There are several factors that determine the cost of a transmission rebuild. These include the type of vehicle, the extent of the damage, and the parts that need replacing. Before giving you a fair estimate we will examine your transmission and consider all of these factors.

You should consider the value of the work done as well. This includes the warranty. Ideally, you will be offered a 12-month warranty. This can be upgraded to a longer period of 5 years on the parts and labor.

It is always better to spend good money on good quality transmission rebuild than going for cheap patch jobs that inevitably lead you back to the repair shop.
