In the last few years used transmissions have proven to be a cost effective and reliable way to solve the problem. I like the fact that it was brand new at one point and has never been worked on before. If the factory did the job right and the car had no transmission history than in most cases that is my choice. Transmissions parts are made on Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) equipment that produce a perfect part every time.
Don’t confuse used with remanufactured, rebuilt or reconditioned transmissions, they are an entirely different than a used transmission
It was that way in the late ’40’s when automatic transmissions were introduced and have continued to evolve with time. The most qualified transmission replacement people I know of are the experts at GotTransmissons.com. You can talk to a person who can help educate you and help you decide if a good used low mileage transmission is in your best interest. Brian, who owns GotTransmissions.com has done the footwork and has qualified the finest used transmissions on the market. Obviously making one call instead of ten phone calls to find the best used automatic transmission saves time and money.
Before you even drive the vehicle with a used transmission installed, it must be maintained. After you have installed the transmission is when you should perform the “service“. This will give you a starting point to know when you should maintain it next time. It is probably a good time to put a front pump seal and a rear extension housing seal in your fresh transmission.
Lots of variety in used transmissions exists today. With a fast growing foreign market and the already large quantities of American manufactured used transmissions with low mileage are available from the late ’80s and up. Try calling 866-320-1182 and see what is in your best interest when it comes down to transmission replacement.
