A transmission rebuild is a major mechanical overhaul done to a vehicle's transmission. A transmission, like a vehicle engine, is made up of a series of interrelated mechanical parts that wear out over time and with extended use. Rebuilding a vehicle's transmission replaces these worn parts without replacing the entire transmission.
Significance
- A transmission rebuild is a popular option for those wishing to avoid paying the relatively high cost of replacing a vehicle's damaged or worn-out transmission with a new one. Brand new transmissions, especially on more modern, late model cars, can be almost as expensive as a brand new engine. Many people, especially those on a tighter budget or those simply wishing to avoid paying the full price of a brand new vehicle transmission, will opt for a transmission rebuild. A transmission rebuild includes the removal and inspection of a vehicle's transmission, along with the replacement or refurbishment of any severely damaged or worn transmission parts.
