When Rebuilding Your Transmission…
- You will be asked for authorization to remove the transmission for internal inspection. This is to allow us to assess any damaged internal components.
- Inspection is crucial to the cost of the repair, because there is no way of knowing exactly what is causing the malfunction.
- Even with trained technicians, and computer tests, there are always things that can be unexpected.
- External components such as: CV Joints, U Joints, Mounts, Motor Leaks, Cables, Linages, the Clutch Disc, and the Flywheel will all be examined for possible problems.
- An itemized list of necessary parts will be turned infor estimating the cost of repairs.
- After the estimate is completed, you will be called once again for authorization of repairs to your vehicle. We will explain to you what is wrong, what needs to be replaced, and offer to have you come in if you wish to take a look at the damage done.
- Upon your approval, the rebuilding of the transmission takes place in a clean environment. This is crucial so that no contamination gets back into the vehicle.
- While the transmission is being rebuilt, we use a device called a ‘hot flush machine’ to get all the contamination out of the transmission cooler. Check it out at: http://www.hotflusher.com
- The hot flush machine is specially designed to use hot fluid to flush out all of the contamination in the transmission cooler, which is located inside the radiator.
- This operation can take anywhere from 2-6 hours depending on the amount of contamination present in the cooler and coolant lines.
- Using hot fluid is superior to other methods, because it replicates operating temperatures to flush debris.
- Once again, a clean system is crucial to ensuring that now contamination gets into the system. This greatly extends the life of your newl rebuilt transmission.
- All of the electrical components are also cleanedwith a special electrical component cleaner which protects electronics in addition to cleaning. This will ensure the proper operation of your vehicle.
- After the transmission is completely installed; all the external connections and adjoining components are checked to make sure everything is in proper working order.
- At this point, the final road test is performed. This will ensure thatyour transmission is shifting at the proper shift points, and that there are no leaks. We also put your vehicle back onto the lift to do a final inspection to ensure that there are no leaks.
- After everything is evaluated, you will be called to come in and pick up your vehicle. It will have a 2 Year, 24,000 mile parts and labor warranty on your newly rebuilt transmission. If you wish, you may also look at the parts that were taken out of the vehicle and replaced.
