Addressing Common Issues
What to Expect
Is your car hesitating to shift, making strange noises, or slipping gears? It might be time for a transmission rebuild. This in-depth service can transform your vehicle's performance, but it's essential to know what you're getting into. Let's dive under the hood and explore exactly what happens during a transmission rebuild at Cottman Transmission in Raleigh, NC.
The Process
The first step in a transmission rebuild is its removal from the car. Our technicians will disconnect all linkages, carefully pull out the transmission unit, and put it on a workbench. Then comes the disassembly process, where every component is taken apart for meticulous inspection. Every part, from the smallest bearing to the largest gear set, is scrutinized for wear and tear. All pieces are thoroughly cleaned using specialized equipment. This critical step ensures any damage, or potential future problems are identified and addressed. The real job of rebuilding is replacing old parts, such as rubber seals and gaskets. These parts degrade over time, leading to leaks. They always get replaced in a rebuild. Bands and clutches are essential for shifting, and a rebuild ensures they're fresh. Gears, bearings, shafts, or any metal component showing wear might be replaced.
Sometimes, a rebuild is an opportunity to improve your transmission beyond factory specs. Upgraded clutches, shift kits, and other parts are possibilities, especially for performance applications. Once new parts are in place, the transmission goes back together, meticulously following the manufacturer's instructions. A transmission rebuild is about fixing what's broken and giving your car's shifting system a new lease on life. Understanding the components replaced and the work involved can help you decide on this major service.
