We are happy to offer personalized solutions tailored to your vehicle’s needs, such as improving performance, extending transmission lifespan, or upgrading driving comfort. Here is a detailed description of our comprehensive process for repairing and replacing Chevrolet transmissions.
Initial Diagnostic Check: We begin with a thorough consultation to collect details about your past experiences with Chevrolet. It explores signs like gear slippage, abnormal sounds, or fluid seepage. We also examine the car’s maintenance record and past transmission fixes to identify possible issues that may come up later on.
Pre-Service Inspection: Before starting any repairs, our team visually inspect the transmission system. This process includes checking the fluid levels and condition, looking for leaks or damage, utilizing specific diagnostic equipment to identify error codes associated with the transmission control module, and identifying any current problems affecting the rebuilding or replacement.
Test Drive: We embarked on a drive to assess how well the vehicle’s transmission performed on a test drive. This evaluation assessed the transmission’s performance in various driving situations, explicitly at gear slipping, sudden gear shifts, and shifting delays. This critical assessment is essential for identifying the specific characteristics of the problem.
Transmission Removal Preparation: After finishing the first diagnostics, we prepare the vehicle to remove the transmission. This involves using a hydraulic lift to elevate the car to access the underside. Subsequently, we remove the transmission fluid and inspect for impurities like metal fragments or a smell of burning, which could signal possible issues.
Transmission Removal: Our technicians meticulously remove every part of the transmission system, such as the drive shaft, shift linkage, and electrical connections. A bar that supports the engine guarantees its steadiness throughout the entire process. Each bolt and connection is handled carefully to avoid any potential damage during the transmission removing from the Chevrolet.
Transmission Disassembly (For Rebuilds): Disassembling the transmission for rebuilding requires completely assessing each component, including gears, clutches, bands, and bearings, to check for wear, damage, or deterioration. This careful evaluation allows us to identify which parts need replacing to return the transmission to optimal condition.
Component Replacement (For Rebuilds): Component Replacement during Rebuilds includes exchanging faulty or worn parts for new or reconditioned ones. These parts may contain clutches, bands, seals, gaskets, and bearings. To ensure the proper functioning of the transmission, it is crucial to completely clean and lubricate all components before putting them back together. The transmission is meticulously put back together following the maker’s recommendations.
Install Rebuilt or Replacement Transmission: Our skilled team effectively installs and secures rebuilt or new transmissions in the vehicle. We reconnect every electrical connection, the driveshaft, and other parts related to the transmission. According to the manufacturer’s suggestions, it is essential to securely fasten all bolts and attachments to guarantee the proper fit and functionality.
Hydraulic system Bleeding: Bleeding the hydraulic system removes any air bubbles that may have formed during the transmission replacement process. This step is crucial for replenishing the hydraulic pressure required for smooth gear changes.
