Expert Lincoln Transmission Rebuild and Replacement

For Lincoln vehicles, The Car Lab Auto Repair Center offers top-tier transmission rebuild and replacement services. From cutting-edge tools and methods to our highly trained technicians, we ensure your Lincoln performs at its best. Our dedicated auto mechanics can handle problems from your vehicle’s air conditioning and electrical systems to work on more complex transmissions to ensure that your car will be well maintained and last longer. Whether you want to increase Lincoln’s transmission lifespan or optimize the entire life cycle cost, you do not have to buy a new car. Here’s a step-by-step guide to our Lincoln transmission rebuild and replacement procedure:

Initial Diagnostic Check: We begin by having an in-depth conversation with you to gather details on any transmission issues your Lincoln may have experienced. Common symptoms we investigate include unusual noises, gear slipping, and leaking transmission fluid. We also look at your vehicle’s maintenance history and previous transmission repairs to help figure out the problem.

Pre-Service Inspection: We start by thoroughly inspecting your Lincoln’s transmission system before proceeding with the rebuild or replacement. It involves checking fluid level and quality, looking for leaks, and for any visible damage. Further, we use advanced diagnostic tools to scan for transmission control module error codes. This inspection ensures we have a clear understanding of your transmission’s condition before moving forward.

Test Drive: To further evaluate your Lincoln’s transmission performance, we take it for a test drive. During the road test, our technicians look for signs of delayed shifting, gear slippage, or harsh gear changes in how the transmission responds to different driving conditions. This test allows us to identify transmission problems and determine what parts or services are needed.

Transmission Removal Preparation: After the diagnostic phase is completed, we remove the transmission from your Lincoln. We drain the transmission fluid and look for metal particles to see if there is any contamination, burnt scent, or other indication of inner damage. Next, we safely lift the vehicle using a hydraulic lift, giving us an easy view of the transmission system.

Transmission Removal: Before removing the transmission, our team first disconnects each linked component, such as the driveshaft, shift linkage, and electrical connections. We use specialized tools, such as an engine support bar, to ensure the engine stays stable during the transmission removal process. Each step is done very carefully to prevent damaging any surrounding parts.

Transmission Disassembly (For Rebuilds): When a transmission rebuild is required, we disassemble the transmission and inspect every internal component, including gears, clutches, bands, and bearings. Each part is Cleaned, lubed, and checked for wear or damage.

Component Replacement (For Rebuilds): We replace any worn or damaged parts with new or high-quality reconditioned components. Typically, this includes clutches, seals, gaskets, and bearings. Then, we reassemble the transmission according to the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Install Rebuilt or Replacement Transmission: We properly install the new or remanufactured transmission into your Lincoln after a rebuild or replacement. The driveshaft and related components are secured, every bolt is torqued to the correct specification, and all electrical connections are reattached.

Hydraulic System Bleeding: Next, we bleed the hydraulic system to get the air out if it gets into the system by removing and installing the transmission. Proper hydraulic pressure is required to maintain smooth gear shifting and perfect transmission performance in your Lincoln.
