A Rebuilt Transmission is Affordable and Reliable

We get lots of calls for replacement transmissions. There is so much more to buying a replacement transmission than just calling around and buying the cheapest one or first one. Like choosing a doctor, it makes sense to look for the best doctor or the best replacement trans. for your car. Almost to a tee, our customers choose transmissions after we discuss the matter in depth.

Choosing the right replacement transmission is a scary subject for the unprepared motorist. Considering the expense of a new transmission, the smart motorist should be more concerned with long term performance than the lowest cost. Quality wins out over price all the time.

The bottom line is that the cost difference between an ordinary or minimally rebuilt transmission, and a well built transmission is very little or nill. In fact, when you look at the overall lifespan of a properly rebuilt transmission, over a poorly rebuilt one, the price is actually lower for the better unit. Not to mention the possibilities of warranty problems and more down time with a crummy unit.

The difference between a good unit and not, is not always visible from the outside. One good way to tell is to ask about the warranty. A good warranty generally proves the confidence of the seller. Something that builds peace of mind.

The proper way to rebuilt a transmission is to start with cleaning it properly and inspecting all of the parts. Some parts get trashed no matter what, like bearings and clutches and other soft parts. The rest of the parts get re-machined to factory specs. A rebuilt torque converter is part of the job. In fact, every electronic part, either internal, or external should be new.

We also get requests for used transmissions, it’s is a cost effective alternative we recommend to people on a stiff budget, we don’t sell junk yard used transmissions. A really good value with little compromise. If you are interested in a used transmission, then we may have a low mileage used unit ready to go, just give us a call at 866-320-1182 and speak with an intelligent human being who knows what you want.

Rebuilt Chevy HHR Transmissions for Sale

The HHR Chevy was an entry in the retro market, designed after the ’49 Chevrolet Suburban. It was made from 2005 to 2011. It is a stylish 4 door station wagon falling in the compact crossover wagon-SUV market. A panel van version was made as a delivery vehicle. All are built on a front wheel drive/front engine chassis.

Usually when we sell a replacement Chevy transmission it is because something out of the drivers control occurs. One of the most common problems is overheating the transmission. The issues occur when an overheated engine happens, and the transmission fluid is not changed.

What most people do not know is that if the engine overheats, so does the transmission. So, it’s absolutely imperative to change the ATF [automatic transmission fluid] if any overheating situation occurs.

On occasion, an ATF leak occurs and when the transmission gets low on fluid, it slips and causes a failure, if unattended. So, if your transmission gives you a hint and leaves a leak, take it and have it examined.

The transmissions used in the HHR are conventional front wheel drive transmissions, better known as transaxles. Literally speaking, the transmissions and differential ring and pinion gears are all located in one aluminum housing, saving weight and space.

By using a 4 speed automatic overdrive transmission/transaxle, not only do you have 4 gas saving forward speeds, but there is a lock up clutch inside the torque converter, which is like having another forward gear. Lock up is a gas and engine saving feature, it is very subtle and most folks are not aware of it.

Rebuilt Chevy HHR Transmissions for Sale, are the most cost effective variants. A rebuilt torque converter has to be part of the deal. Or you are not buying a fully rebuilt transmission.

Another solid avenue to take is a good used low mileage transmission, when available. For the price, it may solve your problem at a lesser cost, with almost no sacrifice in reliability. A good choice for those on a budget.

My suggestion is to call and speak with a smart and understanding human being. Ask all of the questions no one else will answer honestly. We are here to teach you how to buy the best replacement transmission for your interests. Call GotTransmissions.com right now for more detailed info. 866-320-1182.

Porsche Cayenne Transmissions for Sale

If you read my blogs, you know I am a big Porsche fan. The fact is, Porsche is the finest engineered car in the world. I happen to own an early Porsche, nothing like a mid sized five-seater luxury CUV [crossover utility vehicle] called the Cayenne. It can be called Porsche Type 955 (2002–2006), Type 957 (2007–2010), and Type 958 (2011+), if you find numerals more appealing. As in my car, it’s a 911 model, 1970 vintage.

The vehicle platform or chassis, whatever you want to call it, was developed by Porsche as the first V8 engined Porsche since 1995 [998]. It is shared with the VW Touraeg and the Audi Q5. It is one super performance chassis if one was ever made.

Through both the first generation and second generation models, a 6 speed automatic transmission is offered and a 6 speed automatic Tiptronic transmission too. It’s important to note that the Cayenne is built on a front engine, longitudinal chassis.

A longitudinal chassis is the oldest design made. Where the engine and transmissions are up front [bolted together], and the differential is in the back, and a drive-shaft connects the transmission to the differential. Of course, nothing Porsche makes is conventional in design, so it’s a far cry from the bluff of longitudinal chassis setups. A really far cry.

Tiptronic transmissions [Porsche Trade-name] is commonly referred to as a manuamatic transmission. Essentially a manumatic transmissions it is a fancy term for a sporty, super high performance automatic transmission with fancy racing shifter paddles and an advanced electronic computer system. It uses a torque converter like a regular automatic transmission.

When it comes time to program a Cayenne manumatic transmission, that is where the rubber hits the road. Let me be clear, the transmission is commanded in entirety by a computer system. The main computer has driving programs installed in it. Programs that detect the road conditions, and your driving habits, and adjust in real time, to allow for the perfect shift every time.

Consider this, Porsche puts over 250 programs in the Cayenne computer. As opposed to the Touraeg, which has 45 or 50 programs. That is only the beginning of the masterful changes and differences between Porsche and everyone else.

You can take my word for it. You can also take my word for buying a replacement transmission for a Porsche Cayenne. The only place that sell viable rebuilt Porsche Cayenne transmissions for sale, equal to a fresh dealership transmission, for pennies on the dollar is GotTransmissions.com.

For the best rebuilt and calibrated Cayenne transmissions, call 866-320-1182 right now. GotTransmissions.com

Bounder Motorhome Transmissions for Sale Fast Delivery

My neighbor has a Bounder motor-home. I think it’s 36 feet long. It’s a nice motor-home, even though I would never own one. The drive-lines are of interest to me. This motor-home has a transmission worthy of the duties it has to perform. It is unusual, yet becoming more popular to use a truck transmission in motor-homes, than a beefed up car transmission.

We have rebuilt Bounder Motor-home Transmissions for Sale Fast Delivery, and excellent service to get you rolling again. Call 866-320-1182.

In the past, most motor-homes used beefed up car transmissions or light duty truck transmissions. Ask any motor-home owner, and a transmission failure is one of their major concerns. Mostly because they see other 30 something foot motor-homes drop transmissions at the wrong time, then need an expensive tow to an unknown transmission shop.

Allison makes the transmission in the Bounder. Allison makes truck transmissions. Automatic truck transmissions in particular. All of them are engineered for durability and long life. Allison is a division of General Motors, although almost every other brand of vehicle uses Allison transmissions, from light duty trucks like the Chevy 2500 HD to the largest Semi Tuck on the road.

My hands on experience with Allison transmissions is actually very much, but not on the particular units that Bounder uses. Bounder uses super modern, high tech computerized transmissions. If you think trucks are less complicated than cars, you are wrong.

Truck drive-lines are very complicated and fully computerized. We tend not to think about trucks and how technically advanced the drive-lines are, but motor-homes and trucks are extremely technologically advanced.

Motor-homes can be a nightmare if you have wiring problems. Think about wiring a rolling house, literally. Yup, very complicated, with minimal repair manuals available, usually. Wiring issues can cause transmission problems in vehicles with computerized transmissions.

I’m just going to say it: the best replacement transmission for a Bounder motor-home with an Allison transmission is a correctly rebuilt unit. Not every repair shop has the correct training and equipment to rebuilt an Allison transmission and calibrate it. Calibrate being the keyword here. The transmissions absolutely have to be re-calibrated after a rebuild to meet the exact specifications of your motor-home.

If you are looking for a properly rebuilt Allison transmission, look no further. Our Allison’s are guaranteed to work perfectly the first time. Don’t sacrifice the rest of your trip, or your mental sanity, call GotTransmissions.com right now for a quality rebuilt Allison transmission, and experience our world class customer service. Call 866-320-1182 right now.

Buy Concorde Transmissions with Pure Value Built In

Chrysler Concorde transmissions are unique in several ways, the design is exclusive to Chrysler in particular. The only transmission offered in the Concorde, Chrysler named it the “Ultradrive”: 42LE/A606, or 606 for short. No problem then on deciding on what model you need to ask for, we carry good used transmissions when available, transmissions , ‘no junk yard transmissions’, and new crate transmissions.

Buy Concorde Transmissions with Pure Value Built Into them at the remanufacturing facility. The early model A606 had it’s share of problems, being a prototype of sorts. As a general rule, there are not many good used transmissions for the early models available.

That is good news in a way. Our transmissions are not just ordinary transmissions. They are cost effective and outperform every other form of replacement transmission. Every viable update has been installed, including modified or stronger parts. As I mentioned, this is a unique design which uses multiple clutch packs with multiple clutch plates only, and a very detailed computer system to command the transmission electronically.

It’s different than any other transmission in part because it has no bands or sprag clutches. It uses the computer and input sensors mounted on the chassis, transmission and engine to activate the correct combination of internal components to make a great shifting unit. And it is a quality shift after a reprogramming kit is installed.

The newer A606 transmissions were much improved over the first factory units, but none of them work as good as, or last as long as a rebuilt transmission from our shelves. Every one has pure value built into it. No other choice can provide the peace of mind you need.

If I failed to mention that this is a front wheel drive car, forgive me. The Concorde uses the traditional Transverse mounting system found in so many brands of cars. Essentially, the transmission and rear differential are all in the same aluminum casing, which saves space and allows that engine and transmission to bolt together and mount sideways under the hood.

I hope you have enough details and info to make a solid decision. Don’t be shy, use the phone and call us if you have any questions, that is why we have a phone number, some folks like to speak with a living intelligent human. Call GotTransmissions.com right now at 866-320-1182.
