Below is a detailed description of our meticulous process for repairing and replacing Cadillac transmissions.

Initial Consultation: Our process begins with a thorough consultation to collect details about your experience with Cadillac. It discusses signs like gear slipping, strange sounds, or leaking fluid. We also examine the vehicle’s maintenance records and past transmission repairs to reveal possible hidden issues that may show up after some time.

Pre-Service Inspection: Our team visually examines the transmission system before starting any repairs. This process includes inspecting the fluid levels and condition, looking for leaks or damage, utilizing specialized diagnostic tools to detect error codes associated with the transmission control module, and identifying pre-existing issues affecting the rebuilding or replacement process.

Test Drive: We took the vehicle out for a drive to assess its transmission performance on a test drive. This evaluation analyzed the transmission’s performance in various driving situations, specifically at gear slippage, unexpected gear changes, and delays in shifting. This hands-on assessment is essential for identifying the exact characteristics of the problem.

Transmission Removal Preparation: Following the first round of diagnostics, we prepare the vehicle for transmission removal. This involves elevating the vehicle using a hydraulic lift for easier access to the underside. Next, we empty the transmission fluid and inspect it for any impurities, like metal fragments or a smell of burning, that could signal underlying issues.

Transmission Removal: Our technicians cautiously remove all parts of the transmission system, such as the drive shaft, shift linkage, and electrical connections. An engine support bar keeps the engine steady throughout the process. Upon removing the transmission from the Cadillac, every bolt and connection is handled carefully to avoid potential damage.

Transmission Disassembly (For Rebuilds): For signs of wear, damage, or deterioration.    Each part, such as gears, clutches, bands, and bearings, undergoes a comprehensive inspection. This in-depth analysis assists us in identifying which components require replacement to bring the transmission back to its optimal state.

Component Replacement (For Rebuilds): Rebuilding means replacing faulty or worn-out components with new or renovated ones. These may contain clutches, bands, seals, gaskets, and bearings. To promise that the transmission functions smoothly, it is integral to thoroughly clean and lubricate all components before putting them back together. The gearbox is methodically put back together following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Install Rebuilt or Replacement Transmission: Our team skillfully positions and fastens the unit in the car, whether it’s a refurbished or brand-new transmission. We reattach all electrical connections, the drive shaft, and other transmission-related systems. According to the manufacturer’s instructions, it is essential to securely tighten all bolts and attachments for the correct fit and functionality.

Hydraulic system Bleeding: Bleeding the hydraulic system eliminates any air bubbles that may have occurred while changing the Cadillac transmission. This step is integral to regaining the hydraulic pressure required for smooth gear changes and reliable transmission operation.
