Expert Aston Martin Transmission Rebuild and Replacement

At The Car Lab Auto Repair Center, we apply modern technologies and effective methods when working on your Aston Martin’s transmission. All of our technicians are knowledgeable about modern automobile technology, so your car will be in optimum condition as it leaves our shop after any transmission service. We have solutions tailored to your needs, such as increasing operational capabilities, gear lifespan, or comfort during driving. The following is a breakdown of the thorough procedures that we use for Aston Martin transmission repair and replacement.

Initial Consultation: We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your specific experiences with Aston Martin’s transmission. This includes identifying symptoms like gear slipping, unusual noises, or fluid leaks. We also review the vehicle’s maintenance records and any past transmission issues to uncover potential underlying problems that could affect the rebuild or replacement process.

Pre-Service Inspection: Our team conducts a thorough visual inspection of the transmission system. This includes checking fluid levels and conditions, looking for leaks or damage, using diagnostic tools to read error codes from the transmission control module, and identifying pre-existing conditions that may influence the repair process.

Test Drive: We perform a test drive to evaluate the transmission’s performance in real-world conditions. This drive helps us observe transmission behavior during gear shifts, focusing on issues like gear slippage, unexpected shifts, and delays. This hands-on evaluation helps pinpoint the exact nature of the problem.

Transmission Removal Preparation: We prepare for transmission removal once diagnostics are complete. The vehicle is lifted using a hydraulic lift to allow easier access to the transmission. We drain the transmission fluid and inspect it for signs of contaminants, such as metal particles or a burnt odor, which could indicate internal damage.

Transmission Removal: Our technicians carefully disconnect and remove all parts of the transmission system, including the driveshaft, shift linkage, and electrical connections. We use an engine support bar to keep the engine secure during this process, and we handle all bolts and connections with precision to prevent damage.

Transmission Disassembly (For Rebuilds): If rebuilding is required, we disassemble the transmission to inspect each component, including gears, clutches, bands, and bearings, for wear or damage. This meticulous evaluation helps us determine which components need replacing to restore optimal transmission performance.

Component Replacement (For Rebuilds): During the rebuild, any worn or faulty components that have been identified will be replaced by either a new or refurbished clutch, band, seal, gasket, or bearing. Every single part is washed and greased thoroughly during reassembly to allow the transmission to run efficiently. The gearbox is then reassembled following the manufacturer’s standard procedures.

Install Rebuilt or Replacement Transmission: Whether the transmission is being rebuilt or replaced with a new one, our team strives to properly install and fix it to the Aston Martin. We reassemble the driveshaft, electrical connections, and transmission systems. We also confirm that all bolts and fasteners are tightened appropriately as recommended by the manufacturer so that they fit right and function well.

Hydraulic system Bleeding: We then release pressure from the hydraulic system to get ride of the air bubbles which may have entered during the transmission replacement. This process is crucial for regaining correct hydraulic pressure, necessary for seamless gear changes and dependable transmission operation.
