Expert Ford Transmission Rebuild and Replacement

Ensuring that your Ford’s transmission is dependable and functioning at its best is essential for your vehicle’s overall performance and reliability. At The Car Lab Auto Repair Center, we use advanced tools and modern techniques to efficiently handle your Ford transmission requirements. Our expert technicians know the newest automotive advancements and techniques, guaranteeing that your Ford runs smoothly and efficiently during any required maintenance tasks.

We provide customized solutions designed for the specific requirements of your vehicle, whether you want to boost performance, lengthen the transmission’s durability, or enhance driving comfort. Here is a detailed summary of our procedure for rebuilding and replacing Ford transmissions.

Initial Diagnostic Check: We start by having a thorough consultation to collect details on any problems you may have encountered with the transmission of your Ford vehicle. We search for indications like gear slipping, strange sounds, or leaky fluids. Moreover, we examine your car’s maintenance record and past transmission repairs to uncover possible issues that could affect the reconstruction or replacement procedure.

Pre-Service Inspection: Our team performs a comprehensive visual inspection of the transmission system before starting any repairs. It involves examining fluid levels and conditions, looking for leaks or physical damage, and utilizing specific diagnostic tools to detect any error codes linked to the transmission control module. This process enables us to identify the existing problems and evaluate the general well-being of the transmission system.

Test Drive: We will test drive your Ford to assess the transmission’s performance further. Throughout this drive, we evaluate the transmission’s reaction in different driving situations, focusing on gear slippage, sudden gear changes, and shifting delays. This test drive is crucial for pinpointing the exact symptoms of the issue and deciding on the most appropriate repair or replacement plan.

Transmission Removal Preparation: After finishing diagnostics, we prepare the vehicle for transmission removal. We use a hydraulic lift to raise the car to reach the transmission system. We change the transmission fluid and thoroughly examine it for any traces of pollution, like metal fragments or a scorched smell, that may suggest internal harm.

Transmission Removal: Our technicians meticulously remove all components connected to the transmission, including the driveshaft, shift linkage, and electrical connections. We use an engine support bar to ensure the engine remains stable. Each bolt and connection is handled precisely to prevent damage during the transmission removal from your Ford.

Transmission Disassembly (For Rebuilds): During rebuilds, the transmission is removed, and every part is thoroughly examined. We inspect gears, clutches, bands, and bearings for indications of wear, harm, or decline. This extensive evaluation helps us determine which components require replacement to return the transmission to optimal function.

Component Replacement (For Rebuilds): The rebuilding process involves swapping worn or broken parts for new or carefully used ones. It could include clutches, bands, gaskets, seals, and bearings. We clean and lubricate every part to ensure everything works as efficiently. Next, we reassemble the transmission by following the manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring each part has its proper spot.

Install Rebuilt or Replacement Transmission: Once we have rebuilt or acquired a new transmission, our team will skillfully install and fasten it into your Ford vehicle. We reattach all electrical connections, the driveshaft, and other related parts. Every bolt and attachment is secured following the manufacturer’s instructions to guarantee a safe and effective fit.

Hydraulic system Bleeding: We bleed the hydraulic system as part of the replacement procedure to eliminate any air bubbles that might have developed during transmission installation. This stage is crucial for recovering the hydraulic pressure needed for effective and smooth gear shifting.
