Expert Jeep Transmission Rebuild and Replacement

At The Car Lab Auto Repair Center, we value the transmission as a key component for your Jeep’s performance, enhancing reliability and strength. Our technicians possess the required expertise and equipment to tackle every transmission issue you encounter, including rebuilding or replacing. Your Jeep receives the ultimate care from us to operate flawlessly. Below is an in-depth instruction manual for our process of rebuilding and replacing Jeep transmissions.

Initial Diagnostic Check: The first step is an initial consultation to gather details on any transmission issues you have noticed with your Jeep, like gear slippage, odd noises, or fluid leaks. We also examine your vehicle’s maintenance records to find past transmission repairs and look for repeated problems. This data lets us comprehensively assess your transmission’s condition and select the most appropriate course of action.

Pre-Service Inspection: Our experts thoroughly inspect the transmission system. It involves examining the transmission fluid for leaks and quality and conducting a diagnostic scan for error codes linked to the Transmission Control Module (TCM). Recognizing these problems helps us decide if the transmission requires rebuilding or replacing.

Test Drive: A test drive is critical in diagnosing Jeep transmission problems. Our mechanics drive your Jeep under different conditions to evaluate how the transmission performs. We monitor gear shifts, slippage, shifting delays, and overall responsiveness. This data allows us to identify transmission-related issues and recommend the most appropriate solution accurately.

Transmission Removal Preparation: When diagnostics confirm the requirement for a rebuild or replacement, we start getting ready to remove the transmission. We elevate the car with a hydraulic lift to reach the transmission. Initially, the transmission fluid is removed and inspected for metal deposits or a burnt odor, which could suggest internal damage. It helps us evaluate the transmission’s condition.

Transmission Removal: Our skilled team carefully detaches the transmission, unbolting all the components linked to it. We use specialized support tools to stabilize the engine during the removal. Every bolt, connector, and part is handled precisely to prevent any damage.

Transmission Disassembly (For Rebuilds): We dismantle the entire system to analyze each component individually during transmission rebuilds. It includes gears along with clutches and bands. We examine all components closely for any signs of trouble and determine which requires cleaning or replacing.

Component Replacement (For Rebuilds): We remove broken or worn components and install new or refurbished parts for the rebuild process. Typically, we need clutches along with seals, bands, gaskets and bearings. Every component undergoes thorough cleaning and greasing to guarantee efficient performance and durability. Once we confirm that all parts are in great shape, we reassemble the transmission.

Install Rebuilt or Replacement Transmission: Our technicians ensure a seamless installation process if your Jeep needs a rebuilt transmission or a new replacement. We reinstall the transmission by reattaching the driveshaft, shift linkage, electrical connectors, and all related components. We securely fasten bolts and fasteners to ensure they meet manufacturer specifications.

Hydraulic System Bleeding: To secure a smooth driving experience for the clutch and transmission unit, we drain the hydraulic system to eliminate any air bubbles. This process is crucial to reducing hydraulic pressure and ensuring smooth and responsive Jeep shifting.
