Plymouth Voyager Transmissions for Sale


Although it is not being made anymore, the Plymouth Voyager is the same thing as a Dodge Caravan. It’s also the same thing as a Chrysler Town and Country van. All three use the exact same transmissions, if you need a Plymouth Voyager Transmission for Sale, we have it.

The driveline design of all three vehicles is called a transverse mounting system. The transmission type is named a TF 604 [41TE automatic transaxle, 42LE/A606/40TES].

The biggest differences in said vehicles are exterior trim packages and interior comfort levels, the engines and transmission are the same.

The TF 604 is quite a transmission. It is unparalleled in design. The fact that no other car maker makes one like it is interesting. There is no question the 604 or 41TE had it’s share of problems from the start. It was designed to be a completely different transmission, specifically for front wheel drive cars, making use of new strategy.

Without being over detailed, but the 604 and it’s relatives make use of computer commands to operate each sub assembly inside the transmission. In a certain sense this transmission was ahead of it’s time.

Some new terminology, but there are no one way sprag clutches inside or bands. The programming and commands become even more important because it makes use of an on board computer to time each shift perfectly.

Chrysler did not give up and eventually the 604 or 41TE became a very reliable transmission. The aftermarket started offering viable and effective upgrade kits to cure the problem long before Mopar figured it out. With this fact being revealed, it became possible to produce a rebuilt 604 that was very reliable and performed flawlessly.

We learned how to clearance clutch packs and reprogram the valve bodies. Now you can buy a rebuilt TF 604 transmission that has every aftermarket and factory approved update built right into it. It’s the best value we offer for a replacement transmission. When you consider the cost, to the expected mileage and lack of problems, no other variant can provide such great value.

Regardless, if you need more information to make a decision, our staff is trained to be helpful. We are here to supply the necessary answers to your questions in terms you understand. Call now and ask about our peace of mind guarantee. GotTransmissions.com @ 866-320-1182.



VW Passat Transmissions for sale

The VW Passat was one of Volkswagen’s defining cars [believe it or not]. Not nearly as famous as the Beetle, it was the first VW to use a modern day front wheel drive system. It was also the first VW to use a water-cooled power-plant. Thus, the Passat and Golf were the beginning of VW’s modern cars. Using completely redesigned transmissions. If you are searching for VW Passat Transmissions for sale, this is a different breed of VW’s.

The original VW had a rear engine and rear transmission/differential assembly. The car became a legend due to it’s mechanical design and body styles. The Passat is built on a totally different platform which is called a transverse mounting system. This system is in use by almost every manufacturer today, in it’s own form.

To simplify the matter, a transverse system is as such: the engine and transmission are bolted together and mount up front, under the hood, sideways. Having said that, an axle protrudes from each side of the front of the car, and it goes to the respective front wheel, thus pulling the car instead of pushing it.

Listing each transmission is a waste of time. It’s easier to ID the car by the year and model number. Allow me to list the different generations and model numbers for your convenience.

1. B1 [Type 32] 1973 to 1981.
2. B2 [Type 32B] 1981 to 1988.
3. B3 & B4 [Type 35i] 1988 to 1996.
4. B5 & B5.5 [Type 3B/3BG] 1996 to 2005.
4. B6 & B7 [Type 3C] 2005 to present.

Now that you have an idea of what you may be looking at, we need to discuss which transmission replacement variant suits your needs. GotTransmissions.com has transmissions ready to go, a terrific variety of good used transmissions, and new crate transmissions. What this allows is that our customers are not pinned down to one choice.

In general, transmissions are the best value. One reason is the older Passat models have simple transmissions which are not expensive to rebuild. And, it’s hard to find ‘good’ used transmissions for something that old. Usually the affordable pricing changes most customers minds once they see what a great value we are offering.

Rebuilt Volvo XC90 Transmission for Sale

Rebuilt Volvo XC90 Transmission for Sale

Rebuilt Volvo XC90 Transmission for Sale


One of the nicest, most luxurious performance crossover utility vehicles is the Volvo XC90, a mid sized SUV like vehicle introduced in 2002 and still being made, it is the most popular Volvo sold in the USA. The reason for this post is that the automatic transmissions used in the early XC90 had some problems.

Read on if you choose, GotTransmissions.com has Rebuilt Volvo XC90 Transmissions for Sale at substantial savings compared to the dealership, without any compromise in quality.

With one manual transmission available and 3 different automatic overdrive transmissions available, the way to ID which transmission you have is by year and engine. If you can read your VIN you can figure it out too. VIN is an acronym for vehicle identification number. The VIN tells all, it’s just that most folks can’t read it.

Although three automatic transaxles were available, it was the GM sourced 4T65EV/GT transmission that was troublesome. It should be noted that this is a front engine, front wheel drive/all wheel drive setup. It’s called a transverse mounting system.

Back on track, Volvo blamed GM, and GM blamed Volvo, but the problem was solved by going with a non GM transmission the next year. Volvo went back to Aisn transmissions. Aisn/Warner Company is one of the largest independent transmission manufacturers in the world, supplying finer car companies with transmissions for years.

My first suggestion when someone approaches me about replacing a broken or worn out transmission is to buy a rebuilt transmission. In the case of the GM sourced units, you can’t use a different transmission, but the good news is everyone of our transmissions has the factory weakness, defect, whatever you call it, removed and cured during the rebuilding process.

Every rebuilt transmission we sell has pure value built right into it, befitting a car of this caliber. Read our testimonials. Excellent customer service is one of our strong points, call and find out @ 866-320-1182.

Even the Aisn units get every viable factory approved update installed. And remember, our transmissions come with a rebuilt torque converter as well, a critical and necessary part of any overhaul. You are getting a cut corner job if you don’t get a rebuilt torque converter with the job. The torque converter goes through plenty of it’s own torturous duties too, and wears out.

Call one of our living and intelligent sales representatives and allow us to provide the typo of information you need to make a great decision. If a rebuilt transmission does not appeal to you or you don’t think you can afford it, ask abort our low mileage used transmissions.

BMW Series 3 Transmissions for Sale E90


The BMW Series 3 is an icon of sorts. It’s been in production since 1975. Considering what it started out as and what it is today, continuing changes were always in the works as it continued to be popular and marketable through five generations. The fifth generation was when BMW decided the transmissions needed to be equal to or better than the competitions.

BMW Series 3 Transmissions for Sale, E90 must be prepared with more detail to work quality, testing all sub components, and more training and experience than simpler and easier to prepare transmissions. If you need one call us right now, 866-320-1182. GotTransmissions.com

Since I am transmission rebuilder and shop owner of 30 plus years, I get really excited learning about new automatic transmission designs and technology breakthroughs. The fifth gen. Series 3 was made from 2005 until 2011. It only has two transmissions offered, a 6 speed manual transmission, and a 6 speed automatic overdrive transmission.

Another point of interest to some folks may be that this car is built on a front engine, rear wheel drive chassis, with all wheel drive. This arrangement is my favorite, it is stronger and more durable than the FWD setups, which is appropriate for a luxury performance car. Some of my feelings for this design regards the all wheel drive too. This is a better setup than all others.

All wheel drive is is an outstanding feature which allows for better rain traction and handling, plus if you live in hilly or snowy country, all wheel drive is safer and is less likely to leave you stranded in a slippery situation.

The automatic transmissions are conventional in design. Though there is nothing conventional about BMW engineering. Although the transmissions are made by German Transmission giant ZF Manufacturing Company, ZF is well known for outstanding transmissions used in several other highly thought of German cars as well.

A feature not well known about is called lock up, which is like an extra forward gear, it is built right into the torque converter, thus allowing more fuel savings and longer engine life.

My best technical advise for allowing this transmission to live out it’s full natural lifespan is to have it maintained every 30 to 40,000 miles. Especially if you live in LA or another city where lots of idling time is racked up sitting in traffic.

Remember this, only use factory purchased transmission fluid. There is no substitute or additive to make other fluids meet the factory specs. So don’t allow some ‘non expert’ to tell you “this stuff is just as good”. It is not. Factory fluids are actually cheap when you consider the alternative, a premature transmission failure.

If you think you need a replacement transmission for your Series three [3] BMW E90, call GotTransmissions.com and discuss your personal needs with a specialist.

Offering transmissions, used transmissions and new transmissions for sale allows us to cover the entire spectrum of replacement transmissions. Call right now for more free information and customer service that is out of this world. 866-320-1182.



Suzuki Vitara Transmissions for Sale

One of the few consistent things about the Suzuki Vitara or Sidekick as is also known, is its purpose, they have stuck to the basic 2WD/4WD design transmission-transfer case strategy. Regardless of the year, make or trim model, even if it was made and driven in another global market, all of the transmissions are easy to identify. Motors are not that simple since they have to meet emission standards.

For instance if you need a replacement transmission, be it a manual transmission or an automatic transmission. A 4 speed or 5 speed, an overdrive transmission or non O.D. GotTransmissions.com has transmissions, used transmissions and new Suzuki Vitara transmissions at affordable prices. Call 866-320-1182 right now for a price quote.

As I studied the Vitara, it became clear that this vehicle had several names attached to it depending on the demographic region and the year or generation it is.

There is a catch however, some Vitara/Kidekick models had longitudinal mounted transmissions and some have transverse mounted drive systems. It’s not a big issue for you, the owner, since you obviously like the car and are considering keeping it. I assume that is why you are reading this.

A longitudinal drive line is the most basic and oldest form of drive line. It is where the engine is mounted up front and the transmission is bolted to it. The differential is in the back of the vehicle, the rear drive wheels are attached to it. To connect the transmission to the rear drive differential a drive-shaft is used almost exclusively nowadays.

If it is a four wheel drive [4×4 or 4WD] Vitara or Sidekick, then it has a transfer case, as all conventional four wheel drive vehicles do.

A transverse mounting system is completely different. The engine and transmission are bolted together up front under the hood, but they are mounted sideways, east to west of the north-south [front to rear] axis of the car. A transaxle is the technical name of the transmission because it incorporates the transmission and drive axle in one convenient light weight casing.

Perhaps this information is not as important to you as choosing a replacement transmission that suits your interests and has pure value built into it. The only was to choose the right transmission is to learn more about the subject. Educated consumers always make better decisions. That’s a fact.

So pick up the phone and call GotTransmissions.com at 866-320-1182 and speak with an intelligent human being about how to choose a transmission that is your best interests. Call right now.



2005 Volvo V70 may Need a Rebuilt Transmission

Believe it or not I have a very close friend. This person I speak of is in California. To tell you the truth, I love her, she is a very special person. So when we spoke the other day, she mentioned her transmission light came on and the car felt really sluggish. I am a 30 plus year veteran of the transmission business. So basically she wanted to discuss whether she needed to buy a 2005 Volvo V70 rebuilt transmission or another car.

I mention California because they have different and more strict emission laws and you will find out more if you read this post. The first thing I wanted to make abundantly clear was that the car needed to be diagnosed first, so don’t get excited yet.

Would you call your doctor and ask him how much for a heart bypass operation if you suspected you needed one? Come on now, the first thing he would do is schedule you for a diagnosis.

That may sound unusual to you, to be told that no diagnosis can be made over a phone call, even if you bring the phone closer to the car. Thus no pricing is offered over the phone. And I stuck to that paradigm because quoting prices only creates expectations. Anyway, no one got charged for a basic diagnosis at my shop. It was tin roof, that means it was on the house, get it?

Here is what her highly competent mechanic told her. He found a trouble code and problem with one of the numerous solenoids inside the transmission, or there was a wiring problem to said solenoid. Fair enough.

I guess he changed the dirty transmission fluid too. I wish I had been there to see if any contamination was in the transmission oil pan. Dirty fluid is not so concerning because most folks don’t know to change their transmission fluid religiously every 30 to 40 thousand miles with factory only synthetic ATF [automatic transmission fluid], or once a year. Or if the engine overheats.

In general I would advise her to have the gentleman fix the car or take it to a competent shop who will, or just fly me to California and I’ll fix it!

Well, the thing is her highly competent mechanic examined the rest of the car and here is a report:

• I’m 2000 miles away from the 150K general recommended service (or some such)
• 1000 miles away from a brake job, front and back
• catalytic converter has known issues that will need to be addressed if I care to register in this state when due
• AC/heater needs a new blower (it’s only starting to get hot here now)
• power window switches are iffy

Those are her words, conveyed from her mechanic. What I am going to say is highly unusual from me. Get rid of it. You see that the California emission laws will require new catalytic converters and perhaps more in 2000 miles.

New cats are expensive, real expensive. And when you add in a brake job on all four wheels and new power window motors and or switches, a blower motor, and then consider the large amount of mileage. Other forms of action may need to be taken.

My opinion is to sell it or trade it in because of the emission laws in Ca. and the other nagging and mounting issues, seems like to much money. I don’t know if she will take my advise yet. But if she decides to replace the transmission or have it fixed, I’m going to recommend GotTransmissions.com.

It’s the only company I am familiar with who sells transmissions with pure value built right into them. They also offer a peace of mind warranty, and one of the best things is our customer service. You also get to speak with a living and intelligent human being.

So call 866-320-1182 right now and learn more about what replacement transmission is in your best interests. GotTransmissions.com



Hyundai Azera Transmissions for Sale

The Hyundai Azera was introduced globally in 1986 as a full sized car. When it was re-introduced for the 4th generation it was brought out as a midsize mid-range luxury car it had a facelift and only one transmission available.

When the 4th generation was brought out in 2005, it was completely redesigned, both the chassis and body sheet metal were entirely new. Thus it became a midsized car. To make the cake even sweeter, more creature comforts and updated equipment were added. So it was appropriate to add a new and modern transmission at the time.

I think Hyundai was smart to only offer an automatic transmission. I will never understand why some manufacturers offer a manual shift transmission for a non high performance luxury car, who wants to shift gears anyway?

Hyundai Azera Transmissions for sale that are remanufactured according to factory specs. and abiding by strict manufacturing guidelines always outperform and outlast cheaper versions.

Another thing worth mentioning is that this is a front engine, front wheel drive car. We call it a transverse mounting system in the industry. To make it simpler, the engine and transmission are bolted together and mounted sideways under the hood, you may have noticed.

In reality, the technical name for a front wheel drive transmission is a transaxle. A transaxle combines all of the transmission portion, and differential portion in one lightweight aluminum casing. It saves a bunch of space and weight. 98% of the front wheel drive cars use a variation of this setup.

The transmission is called the ”Shifttronic” which is Hyundai’s version of a manumatic transmission. A manumatic transmission operates both as a conventional automatic transmission and manual transmission by allowing the driver to override the automatic mode by moving the shift lever into a second shift gate equipped with two positions, allowing for manual shifting or automatic shifting.

The transmission itself is of 5 or 6 forward gears plus another fuel saving feature that many people never realize it has because it is almost unnoticeable, it is called lockup torque converter. It has an electronically activated clutch inside the torque converter which acts as another forward gear thus saving more fuel on the highway and increasing engine life.

The fact is that this transmission is a fully computerized unit. It receives signals from various sensors mounted on the chassis and engine after they are processed by an on-board computer in real time.

If you need some help deciding which variant to choose, meaning a rebuilt transmission, a used transmission or a new crate transmission, Call one of our experts and allow us to educate you so you can make a great decision. Call 866-320-1182 right now. GotTransmissions.com



Toyota 4Runner Transmissions for Sale 2002 and Up

One of the best advancements in chassis design came during the 4th generation Toyota 4Runners, which ran from 2002 to 2009. Toyota started using automatic transmission models A750E and A750F. As a transmission mechanic, this was significant upgrade, it also reduced the amount of transmission failures, should you need a Toyota 4Runner Transmission for Sale 2002 and Up, call 866-320-1182 for immediate help.

A fair and ample description of said transmission is below for those interested in the function and theory of operation:
An A750E [for 2WD model] or A750F [for 4WD model] 5-speed Super Electronic Controlled Transmission is used. The only difference between the A750E and A750F is in the extension housing and output shaft. These automatic transmissions are equipped with multi-mode automatic transmission function.

These automatic transmissions are equipped with an ATF warmer as standard for cold climates. Some models are also equipped with an ATF cooler as an option to ensure high ATF cooling performance.

Either a column shift lever or floor shift lever is available depending on the seat type [bench type or separate type]. The ATF warmer, ATF cooler, column shift lever and floor shift lever are available as shown below. Multi-mode Automatic Transmission A multi-mode automatic transmission is designed to allow the driver to switch the gear ranges [a multi-mode transmission is not for manually selecting single gears]. After shifting the shift lever to the S mode position and moving the shift lever to the “+” position or to the “-” position, the driver can select the desired shift range.

Thus, the driver is able to shift gears with a manual-like feel. The torque converter has an electronic function called lock-up clutch control, thus allowing for improved fuel economy. Lock up is like having another forward gear, reducing engine wear and increasing fuel mileage.

This is a modern computerized high technology transmission for a real heavy duty workhorse.

Replacement Nissan Rogue Transmissions for Sale

Every time I go out , It never ceases to amaze me at how many new cars are on the road. Sometimes I think I’m in a new car dealership parking lot at the mall. I make it a point to take care of my vehicles and keep them, if any one of my vehicles needed a replacement transmission, that’s a no brainier for me.

I would fix the car. I don’t care if it’s a newer vehicle like the Nissan Rogue or my ’95 Buick Roadmaster, why would anyone choose a new car over a replacement transmission? I always wondered why, because the people who have a knee jerk reaction and buy a new car, generally don’t feel as fulfilled as the folks who put enough thought into it and come to the conclusion that a rebuilt transmission for a Nissan Rogue, or any car is a lot less expensive than a new car.

The Rogue uses a CVT transmission, which is an acronym for constant velocity transmission. It differs from conventional automatic transmissions entirely.

According to reports, the Rogue’s CVT offers better fuel economy, the combination of a CVT and a modern inline-4 cylinder engine offers excellent manners in traffic and plenty of power on the highway. As you accelerate the subtle difference between a conventional automatic and CVT is hardly noticeable as infinite gear ratio variations provide seamless shifts.

Replacement Nissan Rogue CVT transmissions for sale at GotTransmissions.com have been tested and certified to work right the first time. Call 866-320-1182 for detailed information right now.

Though there are several types of CVTs, most cars use a pair of variable-diameter pulleys, each shaped like a pair of opposing cones, with a metal belt or chain running between them. One pulley is connected to the engine (input shaft), the other to the drive wheels (output shaft). The halves of each pulley are moveable; as the pulley halves come closer together the belt is forced to ride higher on the pulley, effectively making the pulley’s diameter larger. Changing the diameter of the pulleys varies the transmission’s ratio (the number of times the output shaft revolves for each revolution of the engine), in the same way that a 10-speed bike routes the chain over larger or smaller gears to change the ratio. Making the input pulley smaller and the output pulley larger gives a low ratio (a large number of engine revolutions producing a small number of output revolutions) for better low-speed acceleration. As the car accelerates, the pulleys vary their diameter to lower the engine speed as car speed rises. This is the same thing a conventional automatic or manual transmission does, but while a conventional transmission changes the ratio in stages by shifting gears, the CVT continuously varies the ratio — hence its name. cited: http://cars.about.com

I don’t usually cite other sources, but the above description is perfect. CVT’s are not well know of, yet.

It’s well worth your while to call and speak with a qualified professional who has the time to listen to your problems and help you decide which transmission suits your best interests. Call GotTransmissions.com right now, you won’t believe how excellent our customer service is. 866-320-1182.



Kia Forte Koup Transmissions for Sale


The Kia Forte is a newer compact car with front wheel drive. Introduced in mid 2008. It is a compact car, using a front wheel drive arrangement. Five different models were offered to the public, and five different transmission/engine combinations were offered too.

One off the models is a hybrid car, called the Kia Forte LPI Hybrid, it uses a CVT [continuously variable transmission]. There is no simple way to explain how a CVT works. It is completely different than a conventional automatic transmission. It is preferred in hybrid cars because it is a light weight transmission and fits in tight places.

It sounds funny to say this, but CVT’s have been in use in large commercial equipment, tractors, lawnmowers and more for years, I mean this is an old design. For what ever reasons, it took a long time to produce technology to build a CVT that worked smoothly in a small car with reliability and good manners.

The rest of the lineup of transmissions consists of a 5 speed manual transmissions/gearboxes, a 6 speed manual unit, and a 4 speed and 6 speed automatic overdrive transmission/transaxle. It’s important to distinguish between a transaxle and straight up transmission. A transaxle actually houses the transmission and the differential assembly in the same casing. It save a bunch of weight and fits in smaller spaces.

The automatic transmissions use a feature called lockup, which is like an extra forward gear.

FYI: The front wheel drive system used by Kia is called a transverse mounting system. The engine and transmission sit east to west, or sideways under the hood of the car.

If you are stuck with a broken transmission and need some help figuring it out, take a minute and call GotTransmissions.com and speak with a living intelligent human being about a Kia Forte Transmissions for sale.
