Our experienced technicians know the most recent automotive technologies and techniques, guaranteeing that your Dodge operates smoothly and efficiently throughout all necessary maintenance procedures. We are pleased to provide custom solutions designed specifically for your vehicle, whether it be to boost performance, increase transmission longevity, or enhance driving comfort. Here is an in-depth explanation of our thorough procedure for fixing and exchanging Dodge transmissions.

Initial Consultation: We start with a comprehensive meeting to gather information about your history with Dodge. It discusses indicators such as gear slipping, unusual noises, or fluid leaks. We also review the vehicle’s maintenance history and previous transmission repairs to uncover potential problems that could arise in the future.

Pre-Service Inspection: Our team visually checks the transmission system before initiating any repairs. This procedure involves checking the levels and condition of the fluid, examining for leaks or damage, using special diagnostic tools to find error codes linked to the transmission control module, and pinpointing any existing issues impacting the rebuilding or replacement.

Test Drive: We went for a drive to evaluate the Dodge transmission performance during a test drive. This assessment examined how well the transmission performed in different driving scenarios, focusing on gear slipping, sudden gear shifts, and shifting delays. This practical evaluation is crucial for determining the precise traits of the issue.

Transmission Removal Preparation: After completing initial diagnostics, we prepare the vehicle for transmission removal. This includes raising the car with a hydraulic lift to reach the underside. Afterward, we drain the transmission fluid and check for contaminants such as metal pieces or a burnt odor, which may indicate potential problems.

Transmission Removal: Our technicians carefully remove all components of the transmission system, including the drive shaft, shift linkage, and electrical connections. A support bar for the engine ensures its stability during the entire process. When removing the transmission from the Dodge, every bolt and connection is treated with caution to prevent any possible harm.

Transmission Disassembly (For Rebuilds): Disassembling the transmission for rebuilding requires thoroughly inspecting 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 team skillfully installs and ensures the transmission is secured correctly in the vehicle, whether rebuilt or new. We reattach all electrical connections, the driveshaft, and other transmission-related components. 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 eliminates any air bubbles that may have formed during the Dodge transmission replacement process. This step is crucial for replenishing the hydraulic pressure required for smooth gear changes.
