Broken transmissions are a problem that every car
owner will deal with eventually. If you have a car, expect this to happen to
you. But this isn’t what you should be worrying about; it should be repairing
the broken transmission that you should be thinking of. Should you have a transmission
rebuild done? Or should you get a new transmission instead?
If the transmission of your car has broken down,
you are faced with two choices, getting a new transmission or getting a transmission
rebuild. The first thing you should know is that a new transmission will cost
at least three times more than a rebuilt transmission. A new transmission will
also take longer, at least a week, to order. Rebuilt transmission can be done
in just three days or less.
What are you paying and waiting for? The difference
in the price and waiting time is because of the reliability. New transmissions
are more reliable, and you will receive full warranty from the manufacturer. On
the other hand, a transmission rebuild is not a 100% guarantee that you’ll get
a fully repaired transmission and it is only warranted by the shop that did it.
A new transmission is practically the same as the
one you get when you buy a brand new car. It is brand new. It is a transmission
the manufacturer put into the car when the car was assembled. This means that
that specific transmission is best tuned and fits your car perfectly. Every
part is new and assembled to suit the car you have.
A rebuilt transmission, on the contrary, is
anything but new. It uses used components and parts. The rebuilding is done by
the auto transmission shop, not the manufacturer itself. The transmission is disassembled;
parts are replaced and then reassembled.
Now with rebuilt transmissions, there are different
grades. There’s simple replacement, specific replacement and complete
overhauls. The price will depend on how comprehensive the work is. A qualified
mechanic should immediately know what the problem is and should be able to tell
you the work needed.
This is why you only need to work with a reputable
transmission builder. Since a transmission rebuild can be a hit or miss, you’ll
feel more confident going with a trusted transmission builder, even if you’ll
be paying more. After all, you will still be paying a lot less compared to
buying a new transmission. Additionally, you’ll be able to use your car faster
too.
