Initial Consultation: We start by gathering thorough information from you about any transmission problems or signs, like gear slippage, strange noises, or fluid leaks. Our team will examine your vehicle’s past transmission repairs and maintenance to identify undisclosed problems.
Pre-Service Inspection: The initial step involves performing a detailed visual examination of the transmission system. Inspecting fluid levels and quality and inspecting for leaks or damage is essential. Specialized diagnostic tools are utilized to search for transmission-related error codes and evaluate the condition of the transmission control module.
Test Drive: We conduct a test drive to evaluate how the transmission performs in different driving situations. It assists us in identifying problems like slipping, abrupt changes, or delays when shifting gears.
Transmission Removal Preparation: To ensure the security of the undercarriage, a hydraulic lift is utilized to raise the vehicle to an appropriate height for its entry. In addition, transmission fluid is drained and analyzed for impurities like metals and burnt smell to check for internal damages.
Transmission Removal: Our technicians strive to disconnect and remove parts related to the transmission, such as the drive shaft, shift linkage, and electrical connections. Ideally, the engine support bar stabilizes the engine during the transmission removal. Following this, the transmission is removed from the vehicle, ensuring that all mounting bolts and connections are handled carefully.
Transmission Disassembly (For Rebuilds): We meticulously separate the transmission and thoroughly arrange every section. We examine all internal parts, such as gears, clutches, bands, and bearings, for signs of damage or wear and determine which components require replacement.
Component Replacement (For Rebuilds): We swap old or broken components with new or reconditioned ones. It may involve clutches, bands, seals, gaskets, and bearings. Every part is thoroughly cleaned before the transmission is restored to its original condition. At this point, oils are applied to each piece before they are installed correctly, as per the manufacturer’s guidelines.
Install Rebuilt or Replacement Transmission: We have strategically installed a new or reconditioned transmission in the car. All the previously removed parts, such as the electrical connections, drive shaft, and transmission system, have been reinstalled. The manufacturer’s recommendations are to tighten all screws and attachments firmly.
Hydraulic System Bleeding: To ensure the smooth operation of the transmission, we eliminate air bubbles from the hydraulic system. This procedure leads to seamless gear shifting and consistent operations.
Post-Service Inspections: We thoroughly examine each link and part for leaks or incorrect positioning. We also analyze this transmission’s performance abilities, focusing on gear engagement, shifting quality, and ensuring no unusual noises are present.
