Initial Consultation: Our process begins with collecting detailed information from you regarding any BMW transmission issues or indicators, such as slipping gears, unusual noises, or fluid leakage. Our team will then review your vehicle’s previous transmission repairs and maintenance to discover any hidden issues.
Pre-Service Inspection: The first step is to conduct a thorough visual inspection of the transmission system. Checking levels and condition of fluids and looking for leaks or damage is necessary. Unique diagnostic equipment is used to scan for error codes related to the transmission and assess the state of the transmission control module.
Test Drive: We perform a test drive to assess the transmission’s performance in various driving scenarios. It helps us recognize issues such as sliding, sudden shifting, or delays in gear engagement.
Transmission Removal Preparation: To ensure safe access to the undercarriage, we use a hydraulic lift to raise the vehicle high enough to get in. After that, transmission fluid is drained and examined for pollutants, including metals, and smells like burnt stuff, indicating whether it could have been damaged from inside or not.
Transmission Removal: Our technicians aim to disconnect and remove components associated with the transmission, such as the drive shaft, shift linkage, and electrical connections. Ideally, we use an engine support bar to stabilize the engine while removing the transmission. After that, the transmission is removed from the vehicle, and all mounting bolts and connections are carefully removed.
Transmission Disassembly (For Rebuilds): We carefully divide the transmission and comprehensively organize each part. We inspect all of the inner components, including gears, clutches, bands, and bearings, for any indications of wear or harm and identify which parts need to be replaced.
Component Replacement (For Rebuilds): We replace outdated or damaged parts with new or refurbished ones. It could entail clutches, bands, seals, gaskets, and bearings. Each component is cleaned meticulously before returning the transmission to its former state. At this stage, oils are added to all pieces, followed by their proper installation according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Install Rebuilt or Replacement Transmission: We have carefully placed either a new or refurbished transmission within the automobile. Every component taken off earlier, including the electrical links, drive shaft, and shifting system, has now been put back. Every screw and attachment is tightened firmly according to what manufacturers recommend.
Hydraulic System Bleeding: To guarantee the proper running of the transmission, we remove air bubbles from the hydraulic system. This process results in smooth gear changeovers and constant functionalities.
Post-Service Inspections: We meticulously inspect every link and part for leaks or improper placement. We are conducting a detailed examination of this transmission’s performance capabilities specifically for gear engagement, changing quality, and ascertaining no other strange sounds.
