Transmission Repairs: Water damage is not always obvious…
September 14th, 2009
Water can find its way into an automatic transmission in several ways. The one you’re probably most familiar with is through the transmission cooler in the radiator You don’t have to be in the business long to become ac quainted with the “strawberry milkshake” in the radiator. But what can be even worse is when [...]
Replace the bushings in a rebuilt transmission..
August 30th, 2009
Not every transmission rebuilder replaces the bushings or bearings in the process of a rebuilding a transmission. In very few cases would I recommend not replacing the bushings or a bushing while going through the procedures of transmission rebuilding. Sometimes you may be working on a specialty transmission or an old transmission where a bushing [...]
Rebuilt transmission or transmission repair?
July 22nd, 2009
At some point you may be put into a situation where you have to decide if a rebuilt transmission is a better idea than a transmission repair. If you had a serious transmission problem, how do you know when a rebuilt transmission is the best choice over a transmission repair?
Assuming you have the car at [...]
Rebuilt transmissions are for the experts…
July 9th, 2009
When the transmission in my neighbors Ford Explorer started to smoke she hoped to avoid the repair shop by letting her husband fix it at home. Find the problem, get the parts, buy a repair manual and fix it myself. If needed, buy a rebuilt transmission and pop her in. Sounds simple, eh?
But her husband [...]
Reminder: Rebuilt transmissions are very cost effective..
June 26th, 2009
With the economy in complete disarray and people losing jobs or taking jobs that pay less than before makes decision making all the more important. Credit is harder to come by and money in general is ‘tight’ to say the least. Especially for a new car as opposed to a rebuilt transmission.
My experience has taught [...]
A/W or Aisian/Warner Toyota rebuilt transmissions…
June 17th, 2009
Toyota uses the family of automatic FWD/RWD/4WD transmissions built by Aisin-Warner. They share much in common with Volvo’s AW7 and Aisin-Warner’s 03-71 transmissions, which are found in Suzukis, Mitsubishisi, and other Asian vehicles. Based on certain production dates, meaning the older units produced, buying a rebuilt transmission is by far the most affordable and reliable [...]
Using the “M” on the Chevy Allison Transmission…
June 16th, 2009
The M is used when pulling a trailer. When is the the most appropriate time to use this feature. Try going to Colorado in June and cross over Cinnamon Pass that drops into Lake City. No person wants to or needs to be inconvenienced by needing to have a rebuilt transmission on the road. Most [...]
Automatic Transmission Components: What are Hard Parts?
March 27th, 2009
Brian of GotTransmissions.com and I were talking about exactly what “Hard Parts” are the other day. There may be many use-ages for the term “hard parts”, but we want to focus on transmissions. Both automatic transmissions and standard transmissions use hard parts, although the term is most commonly applied to automatic transmissions.
A True Automatic Transmission Diagnosis Story..
February 19th, 2009
A little background on me. I owned an automotive and light duty truck repair and rebuilt transmission specialty shop from 1981 to 2006. I sold the shop right before the economic crash. I decided to get into helping people learn about how to choose the right transmission shop, since transmission shops are not fungible.
