Lincoln MKZ Transmissions for Sale


The MKZ was brought out in 2006 to compete in the lower end luxury car field. It is a mid sized 4 door sedan built on the Mazda CD3 platform. Ford and Mazda use many interchangeable components in certain cars. It is still in production, and Lincoln kept the choices of transmissions quite simple. Only one Lincoln MKZ transmission for sale was offered in the car.

For interested parties, this is front wheel drive vehicle, with a four wheel drive option. Sometimes we call it all wheel drive [AWD]. A transverse mounting system.

The Aisin 6F is a Six-Speed Select Shift Automatic Transmission Electronic Continuously Variable (e-CVT). Ford Motor Company’s worked with with General Motors on the design and development of the 6F [6 speed, front wheel drive] transaxle.

Controlled by a computer and microprocessor, which is the aggregate for all transmission control functions into the power control module [PCM]. Able to real time program the operating characteristics of each shift from the proper PCM, which results in an extremely smooth operating transmission from the first time the vehicle is driven.

Internally it resembles most other automatic overdrive transmissions, or transaxles in this case, since it is a front engine, front wheel drive vehicle. Using multiple clutch packs and compound planetary gears to produce 6 forward gears. Most people never notice the lock up toque converter engaging at over 50 mph. The equivalent of another forward speed, further reducing engine wear and increasing fuel mileage.

Chevy Cobalt Transmission for Sale, Affordable

The Chevy Cobalt is another compact car entry designed to be economical, yet have enough luxuries to satisfy almost everyone. Introduced in 2006 to replace the Prism and Cavalier. It is a front wheel drive car, which technically uses a transaxle, which is a combination transmission/differential, all in the same case. Searching for Chevy Cobalt Transmissions for Sale, affordable and easy to get?

The Cobalt uses a common front wheel drive arrangement. The transmission/engine assembly is mount sideways under the hood in the front of the car. If you look under the hood, this assembly runs across the car, or east to west, to the north south axis of the car.

Another item worth knowing is that a transaxle is designed for front wheel drive cars. If you have ever seen one disassembled, the first thought would be ”all of those parts came out of that case”? Yes, it’s really amazing to see thousands of complicated parts assembled into a complete functioning transmission.

Surprisingly, two manual transmissions are offered, a 5 speed F35 [MU3] manual transmission, and a 5 speed Getrag model F23 manual transmission. The F35 is a Saab transmission, or transaxle to be exact. Used in Saab and some GM transverse mounted engine/transmission setups.

The F23 is made by Getrag corp. and is a 5 speed manual transmission designed for front wheel drive applications primarily for GM cars. Two American versions are made: M86, MG3.

The automatic overdrive transmission offered in the Cobalt is a 4 speed automatic transmission-transaxle with a lock up torque converter. Lock up is subtle feature most people are not aware of which adds 2 to 4 miles per gallon.

The Saturn Vue Green Line hybrid uses the same transmission, one of the only hybrids I’m familiar with that does not use a CVT. In essence it was designed for GM’s line of 4 cylinder Ecotec engines. It’s a very high tech fully computerized transmission which receives signals from sensors all over the car and engine to command shifts at the right time.

Chevrolet Camaro Transmissions for Sale

The Chevy Camaro was introduced at a critical point in my life, 1967. I was 15 years old and loved cars. What else can I say. You had to be there. I happened to be working at a transmission repair shop at the time. Life was good. I worked at a transmission shop to support my habit of breaking lots of transmissions. Camaro transmissions still go bad and the best place to buy Chevy Camaro transmissions for sale is GotTransmissions.com.

The Camaro is a rear wheel drive car. It is not a complicated setup, basic in design, and durable as well. Over the years, the Camaro has used pretty basic transmissions. A full lineup of manual transmissions and automatic transmissions have always been available for said car.

The original Camaro used a basic 3 speed manual shift transmission, with a 4 speed optional. And you could get a 2 speed automatic transmission called the Powerglide, or one of two 3 speed automatic transmissions. The venerable Turbo 400 or famous T 350.

As times progressed and the Camaro was updated appropriately, the transmission options offered increased in the amount of forward speeds they had. For instance automatic overdrive transmissions were being introduced in the early ’80’s and the Camaro was a recipient.

As automatic transmissions became overdrive units with 4 and 5 forward gears and a lock up torque converter, the Camaro was in the mix. Offered as well with 5 sped manual transmissions and up to a 7 forward speed manual shift transmission in the current models.

The modern transmissions offered in today’s Camaro are all fully computerized with plenty of high technology involved. A computer is fed in real time metrics from input sensors on the engine and chassis to command the proper gear for any situation. Typical of today’s modern cars.

We receive calls from vintage Camaro owners, die hard owes who want the finest rebuilt original equipment transmissions. Money is not important to them, originality and quality are what counts. The good news is a rebuilt transmission is quite cost effective in the long run.

Honda Element Transmissions for Sale

The Honda Element was introduced in 2001 in North America. It is a compact boxy looking crossover which has a reputation for being ”dog friendly”. It is built on the reliable Honda CVC platform, which is front engine-front wheel drive with 4 wheel drive optional until 2007. If you have an element with a bad transmission, GotTransmissions.com has Honda element transmission for sale at low everyday prices. No gimmicks.

Being of the front wheel drive style, it uses Honda’s version of the common transverse mounting system. When I speak of this system, it is called transverse because the engine/transmission combo is located sideways or transversely under the hood. Going east to west, to the north south axis of the car.

When I mention it is Honda’s version, all I mean is that Honda makes an excellent setup, and it’s a bit different from the other manufacturers, but transverse in design. As a transmission mechanic for over 30 years, I personal think Honda has the market cornered on this particular design.

So, Honda offered 3 different transmissions to the public. A 5 speed manual transmission/transaxle, a 4 speed automatic transmission/ transaxle, and a 5 speed automatic transmission with overdrive. When I call the transmission a transaxle, I mean it literally. Both the transmission and rear axle are located in the same housing, thus a trans-axle.

If the vehicle has 4 wheel drive, a transfer case is added in order to transmit power to the other two wheels, the rear wheels in this case.

Honda transmissions are excellent transmissions, I have always felt that way. Somewhat unconventional in design, they get the job done in fine fashion, work excellently and last a long time, if you use genuine factory Honda transmission fluid.

Honda automatic transmission fluid is made for Honda transmissions only. You can only buy it from the dealer. Believe me when I tell you that, A. the transmission does not work as well on non Honda transmission fluid, and B. the transmission will have a pre-mature failure if you don’t use Genuine Honda ATF [automatic transmissions fluid].

If you asked me what is the best replacement transmission, my answer would be, ”call GotTransmissions.com”. I can only say we offer the finest replacement transmission on earth. Available immediately are transmissions, low mileage used transmissions, JDM transmissions and crate-new transmissions.

If you want some good advise on which transmission to buy, call the specialists at GotTransmissions.com and tell them your story. They have a transmission that suits your budget and interests, ready to ship right now. Call 866-320-1182.



Acura ZDX Transmissions For Sale

The Acura ZDX is powered by a spicy V-6 engine which is hooked to a technologically advanced 6-speed automatic transmission. Introduced in 2010 by Acura,the ZDX is a mid sized luxury hatchback built on a front wheel drive platform, with all wheel drive available. The most advanced transmission Acura has ever produced. GotTransmissions.com has Acura ZDX Transmissions for sale for those unfortunates individuals who have had a failure.

The new Sequential SportShift 6-speed automatic redefines launch/takeoff-feel, acceleration performance and fuel efficiency. Compared to the 5-speed transmissions used with other V-6 engines in the Acura line [Vigor], the ZDX automatic transmission has lower gear ratios in first through fifth gears. The lower gear ratios add more low end acceleration and pulling power. The new sixth gear ratio is taller [higher in ratio] [more overdrive] than the top gear in Acura’s 5-speed V-6 automatic transmissions. The higher final gear allows for a glass smooth slow cruising, engine, transmission and fuel savings, rpm level.

The Sequential SportShift 6-speed transmission can be operated in two fully automatic modes with the console-mounted straight-gate shifter. The D, [Drive], mode is best suited for most driving situations. The S, [Sport], mode is for more performance oriented driving, and features more aggressive shift programs to keep engine rpm’s higher for greater acceleration and response.

It’s obvious Acura designed a transmission that suits every driving aspect of said vehicle. They wanted to successfully compete with other top line performance luxury cars by introducing a no holds barred car right off the bat.

Designing a front wheel drive car and a transmission to match said performance is not so easy. Being a front wheel drive vehicle the challenge of providing durability is the biggest obstacle. Acura met and defeated the problem head on with this new, super advanced design.

Not that the design is brand new, but the improvements to the design make it perfect for a super performance luxury car. Using the popular transverse mounting setup many other front wheel drive cars use, Acura took it to a new level with it’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive [SH-AWD], 19-inch, 7-spoke alloy wheels.

Do we expect to sell lots of ZDX transmissions? Not yet. We choose to offer Acura ZDX transmissions for sale so we are prepared for the unspoken facts that occur. The facts are, some people will drive enough to wear out their transmission, some people will have an unfortunate incident, where the fluid leaks out very fast a damages the transmission.

We don’t wish bad luck on anybody. Our staff is prepared to answer your questions, even maintenance questions, so you won’t need our services, or questions related to transmission replacement. What ever your reason, please feel free to call anytime for any reason. GotTransmissions.com is here to help educate our customers so they make the best decisions. Call right now. 866-320-1182.



Buick Lucerne Transmissions for Sale, Affordable to Buy

If you own a Buick Lucerne and have experienced a transmission failure, than you are at the right place. the first thing we will do is discuss the available replacement transmissions for the Lucerne. Only two Buick Lucerne transmissions were offered. GotTransmissions.com stocks both Buick Lucerne transmissions or sale, affordable to buy and our best value. With transmissions and low mileage used transmissions in stock, we have you covered, right now.

It’s real easy, the Lucerne models with the V6 engines use the 4T65E automatic overdrive transmission, and the 4.6 liter Northstar powered Lucerne uses the extra heavy duty 4L80E transmission, or transaxle, because that is what it is.

A transaxle is a unit where both the transmission and differential are in the same case or housing. A compact and convenient way to produce a front wheel drive car. The most popular method of doing so, it’s called a transverse setup, where the engine and transmission are mounted sideways beneath the hood. With an axle coming out of each side of the transmission, going to the appropriate front wheel.

The 4L80E is the largest transaxle made. Designed specifically for lots of horsepower for high performance GM luxury cars made in America, expected to amply compete with some of the high dollar European luxury cars. It’s a beefy unit and is very solid from the factory, only a few updates are needed upon rebuilding said unit. The only thing I don’t like about it is there is an internal input sensor which had a tendency to fail. While the part is about 50 dollars from the dealer, the transmission has to be removed to replace it.

Note: Removing this transmission should only be attempted by professional transmission shops. It is one of the most difficult transmissions to remove and replace. Don’t be unsafe, seek professional help.

Make sure the rebuilt 4L80E transmission you buy has all new solenoids and sensors. Ours do. It sure saves a lot of frustration and inconvenience in the long run.

The 4L65E is almost identical to the previous transmission mentioned, it simply is not made for high performance usage with reliability. So, it is only used behind the lesser engines offered. It is a wonderful transmission with a fuel efficient lock up torque converter. It shifts like glass and has an excellent lifespan if maintained properly with factory synthetic transmission fluid.

When faced with making a solid decision on replacing your transmission, it only makes sense to call GotTransmissions.com. We offer the most thorough advise available, an educated consumer makes better decisions. Allow us to explain in terms you understand which one of our replacement transmissions is in your best interests. Call Right Now.



Looking for ScionxB transmissions for Sale at Affordable Prices

One of the cute new pee-shooters introduced in 2004 is the Toyota ScionxB. I call it a pee shooter because it is a cute 5 door compact 5 door car which is very appealing to anyone who wants a little something different in a smaller vehicle. It’s simple, with only a 5 speed manual transmission option, or a 4 speed automatic overdrive [transaxle] transmission. Looking for ScionxB transmissions for Sale at Affordable Prices, call GotTransmissions.com now.

The 4 speed automatic overdrive transmission used from 2004 to 2006 is called the U340E. The U340E is a multiple clutch pack, fully hydraulic transmission. It is also a computer controlled transmission. Having a wide array of input sensors through out the chassis and engine, instant shifts can be made from real time inputs.

Using multiple compound planetary gear sets to produce 4 forward speeds. One of the features of this transmission is called a lock up torque converter. What this does is effectively produce another forward speed, making 5 total forward gears. Reducing engine wear and increasing fuel mileage.

Don’t forget that the Scion is front wheel drive car too. Which means the transmission is in the front of the car with the engine. It is mounted sideways, and an axle shaft comes out of each side of the transmission, to the appropriate front wheel to drive the car. An excellent and efficient setup.

Another item I wanted to note is the entire lineup of Toyota Scion’s:

• Scion xA 2003-2006
• Scion xB 2003-current
◦ Generation 1: 2003-2006
◦ Generation 2: 2007-current
• Scion tC 2004-current
◦ Generation 1: 2004-2010
◦ Generation 2: late 2010-
• Scion xD 2007-current
• Scion iQ early 2011-

From 2007 and on the automatic transmission used is a U241E. Which in essence is an updated U340E model. Designed to handle the extra power of the larger generation 11 engines.

The 5 speed standard transmission Toyota chose to use is a rather ordinary Toyota front wheel drive manual transaxle, which is also used in many other front wheel drive min or subcompact Toyota’s. It is conventional in all ways, nothing tricky about it. Just plain and reliable.

I recommend calling GotTransmissions.com and talking with a trained transmission specialist. One of our jobs is to educated every customer. We find that educated customers make better decisions, ones they are happy with, because they understand what they purchased and why.

Make sure you ask about every option available. We sell transmissions, low mileage used transmissions and JDM transmissions, which are for Japanese cars only, not all foreign cars.

Got Affordable Honda Insight Transmissions for Sale

The Honda Insight a sub-mini car or compact car, no matter what size you consider it, the Insight is a hybrid electric car. It was Honda’s first Integrated Motor Assist system. Certified by the EPA [environmental protection agency] to get 61 MPG [miles per gallon]. Most hybrids use a somewhat different transmission type than conventional cars, GotTransmissions.com has Got affordable Honda Insight transmissions for sale, crated and ready to ship right now.

What type of transmission comes in a hybrid? Where is the transmission and power source located on such a vehicle? No worries, let us explain it in terms you understand.

Because it is a front wheel drive car, the setup is much like any gasoline or diesel powered front wheel drive car. The engine/transmission mounting system is called transverse mounting. Without getting into the detailed specifics. The engine and transmission are mounted sideways, there is an axle shaft coming out of the right side of the transaxle going to the right front drive wheel, and the equivalent on the left side.

An ingenious setup, the transmission and differential are mounted in the same case. Thus, we call it a transaxle, to be exact. Another smart move was to make much of the body and chassis out of aluminum to reduce overall weight. Hybrid cars tend to be heavy with all of the battery’s.

Only three different performance packages are available: a 5 speed manual shift transmission in models without air-conditioning: a manual transmission with vehicles that use automatic climate-control system: and a continuously variable transmission [CVT], as the automatic transmission choice.

The first generation of Insight had a conventional manual shift transmission. Starting with the 2001 model, a CVT variation for the Honda Insight was available; the CVT is similar to that used in the Honda Civic Hybrid and the Honda Logo.

A CVT allows for an unlimited amount of gearing ratios between its lowest gear and its highest ratios. A feature shared by most hybrids is the ability to automatically shut down the internal combustion engine [Atkinson cycle} when the vehicle is at a stop [and automatically restart it upon movement request].

Buy your replacement transmission from a company who knows the specifics about hybrids before anyone else even thinks about it. We outperform the competition by becoming more knowledgeable about the product than anyone else. Our customers get world class service because we make a point out of getting the order right the first time, saving money and aggravation.

For solid trust able information and the best replacement transmissions available at any price, Call GotTransmissions.com. We sell peace of mind and pure value with every Honda Insight transmission for sale.



C70 Volvo Transmissions for Sale

Volvo C70 transmissions are built for performance. Volvo builds some mighty fast and stylish cars nowadays. The C70 is a perfect example. A full sized luxury car built on a front wheel drive platform. Both the first and second generation C70 came equipped with a manual transmission and several automatic transmissions to choose from. GotTransmissions.com has Volvo C70 transmissions for sale, rebuilt and low mileage used units. Call now for a free quote.

Volvo automatic transmissions in the past were all supplied and made by the ZF company, now the transmissions are developed by Volvo with Aisin W of Japan. FYI: Geartronic is Volvo Cars’ name for its manual/automatic, hence manumatic transmission.

The C70 is front wheel drive car, believe it or not. Some of the finest luxury performance sedans are on front wheel and or all wheel drive chassis. What this means is both the transmission and engine are mounted under the hood, and each front wheel has a short axle running from the transmission to transmit the power.

Similar in design and function to the Porsche Tiptronic. It is available in 5 and 6 forward speed models, and is controlled by a micro computer and a complicated array of input sensors. The microcomputer receives precise signals, then processes them in real time and commands automatic shifts from the transmission to the next gear, especially nice if the driver is in manual mode and red lines the engine.

Manual shifting is operated with the shifter lever in the ‘manual’ mode. The gear stick can also be used in the same manner as any automatic transmission, where the transmission will shift by itself.

Generation one C70 models came with 3 transmission choices.
1. a 4 speed manual transmission
2. a 5 speed automatic overdrive transmission/transaxle
3. a 5 speed manual transmission.

The Generation 2 C70 Volvo used only two transmissions, dropping the 4 speed automatic, since 4 forward speeds are becoming outdated, for a 5 speed automatic override transmission, and updating the standard transmission to a 6 sped model.

The automatic transmissions used in the C70 are called the Geartronic manumatic units. Geartronic transmissions are manufactured by in Japan by Aisin AW. FYI: It’s important to note that manumatic-Geartronic transmissions use factory automatic transmission fluid. Hopefully you never have to add fluid or you have a leak.
