Reman Subaru Transmission for Sale

When someone asks me how would you decide between a reman Subaru transmission for sale and another form of replacement transmission, I have to sit them down and explain what I’m going to say. For some cars, I recommend a reman [short for remanufactured] transmission over a used unit. To that point, we sell more reman Subaru transmissions than any other form.

Why, you ask me? Cars built like most Subaru models are hard to work on, that is the first thing. The transmission is very hard to remove and replace and a lot of time and labor is involved no matter what transmission you use to replace a broken transmission. So, a good part of the price of a re-manned unit, if you take it to a shop is the labor to remove and replace.

With that thought in mind, what if you buy a cheap used unit from the junk yard and spend say at least 500 bucks for the labor to have it installed, and it does not work or breaks down again in a few days? In that case, even if it has a warranty, who pays the labor to swap the bad replacement transmission? Well a Good company pays for the labor to swap out a defective replacement transmission. Remember that.

Another issue with Subaru transmissions is that they are quite sensitive. Being an economy car does not mean the transmission is not a precision piece of equipment. In fact in some cases the economy transmissions can be very hard to remanufacture properly. There are lot of tiny precision pieces inside the casing, a competent specialist is the only person who should work on these transmissions.

With the difficulty factor of removing and installing a transmission, and the uncompromising care required to remanufature this little jewel, it makes sense and saves big money to buy the best remanufactured transmission available. Eliminating the above two problems is the only way to find complete peace of mind.

It’d hard to put a dollar tag on peace of mind. One only needs to think of the frustration of breaking sown again to be reminded that the best remanufactured transmissions cost less in the long run. Call now and speak with a qualified expert on transmissions and let us sell you a remanufactured Subaru transmission. GotTransmissions.com.

Ford 5R110 Transmissions for sale

Ford 5R110 Transmissions for sale

Ford 5R110 Transmissions for sale


The Ford Torqueshift 5R100 is a rear wheel drive, five speed automatic overdrive transmission for heavy duty vehicles like the F-350 series trucks and larger trucks. Torqueshift is the trade-name for this particular transmission. Replacing the 4 speed automatic overdrive transmission in 2003, we are stocked up with Ford 5R100 transmissions for sale, crated and ready for shipment.

Used only behind the 6.0L diesel engines at first, Ford quickly expanded it’s applications to the medium duty truck line and to the large SUV’s. It actually has a hidden 6th forward speed for extreme cold weather when a low, low first gear is desirable due to excessive slipperiness of ice and snow. A granny gear of sorts.

Using what is termed adaptive shift functions, the computer and sensors watch the Torqueshift’s performance over its lifespan, and adjusts shift pressures in real time to assure consistent shift feel and compensate for wear. For ease of maintenance, the Torqueshift’s oil filter is a spin-off style, mounted on the passenger-side exterior of the transmission. Also the Torqueshift’s larger fluid lines and a larger transmission oil cooler help to assure cooler operating temperatures, even under the most demanding conditions.

Also equipped with a tow/haul mode button which changes the amount of line pressure when you pull a load. In turn, the line pressure increase makes the shifts more noticeable. As other Ford automatic transmissions have done in thee past, this one exceeded all expectations.

One of the main reasons for dealing with an experienced and reliable transmission supplier when you need a rebuilt Ford 5R100 transmission is that this is a complicated highly precise transmission. It uses a handful of solenoids internally, and receives and sends information in real time to the computers. So, only top transmission technicians have the credentials to competently rebuild them.

Spending less money on a rebuilt transmission is short sighted thinking. A lesser rebuilt transmission may not even cost less to buy. The money difference comes in after the warranty expires. An unscrupulously rebuilt transmission will outlast a poorly rebuilt unit, thus making it cost a lot less in the long run.

Call us now and find out why our Rebuilt Ford Transmissions outperform every expectation possible. And at a hard to refuse price. We can answer the hard questions and supply any tips that will make the process easier. GotTransmissions.com.

Chrysler 45RFE Transmissions for sale

Chrysler 45RFE Transmissions for sale

Chrysler 45RFE Transmissions for sale..100% Guaranteed.


Chrysler’s 45RFE automatic overdrive transmission is a fully computerized ”multi range” transmission. Using a sophisticated adaptive shifting control unit to optimize shifts and performance and derive the most performance and economy from one transmission. We have some rebuilt Chrysler 45RFE transmissions for sale crated and ready to ship now.

Historically, the 45RFE is a derivative of the original aluminum case Chrysler Torqueflight transmissions that were introduced in the early ’60’s. Seems wild, but the original unit, unknown at the time, was the perfect design to modify into an automatic, multi range transmission.

It is one of the best designs I have seen, using a known successful 3 speed automatic transmission and adding a bolt on overdrive section to the Torqueflight 727 [the original aluminum case Torqueflight] case.

Being a modern transmission it operates off of a complicated system of input and output sensors all over the vehicle, sending information to the computer, commanding the perfect shift for every driving circumstance. So if the engine or transmission light comes on have it checked out by a professional ASAP. Seriously.

Chrysler also has a neat feature called ”adaptive shifting”. What the purpose of it is to learn your driving habits, style and remember them. This makes for much better and more efficient shifting, producing better performance without wasting any gasoline or fuel. Some of the more expensive luxury sedans use adaptive shifting.

The bottom line is that it is a rugged and reliable unit with lots of versatility. Used primarily in the pickup truck lineup and large SUV’s.

Basically a trouble free transmission if you stick to factory maintenance procedures and factory transmission fluid to a tee, no cheating on the transmission fluid. Go buy it from the dealer and quit crying. It is saving you money.

Yet we sell a fair amount of 45RFE transmissions. The bulk of which are in commercial vehicles like the Dodge 3500 Ram pickup, so no telling how much abuse they are absorbing.

Solve your 45RFE transmission failure in the most economical way and buy a quality rebuilt transmission from GotTransmissions.com with all of the latest upgrades and the best parts available. Call now and speak with one of our educated sales members. We have your replacement transmission ready to ship now.

Porsche Boxster Automatic Transmission

Porsche Boxster Automatic Transmissions-Manumatic

Porsche Boxster Automatic Transmissions-Manumatic


The trade-name of the Porsche Boxster Automatic transmission is ‘Tiptronic’. It is not a type of transmission. We call the Tiptronic a ”manumatic” transmission type. Other manufacturers use manumatic transmissions too. People don’t really know what a manumatic is and make up a lot of fictitious things about manumatic transmissions. It is somewhat confusing. We happen to have a Porsche Boxster automatic transmission for sale, and I own a Porsche too [not a Boxster, a 1970 911S].

A manumatic transmission is really an automatic transmission with fancy, ”race bred” shifting options so you can use it fully automatically on the street, or you can control the transmission manually using the high technology shifter system, or do both depending on the situation.

The technology is complicated, but the idea is not. Generally speaking, manumatic transmissions, especially the Tiptronic S model, which was spiced up a bit over the straight up Tiptronic models used in the early Boxster also used an extremely complicated program in the main transmission computer. This is actually the brains of the whole setup.

The computer system ‘learns’ your driving style or habits on the fly from information collected as fast as a rocket ship and delivered to the computer from hundreds of inputs to make instant decisions on when and how to shift.

That is as complicated as I will get. Most Porsche owners that own a Porsche new enough to have a Tiptronic S transmission in it probably don’t care about the mechanical aspect as much as the driving aspect. Vintage Porsche owners care more about the technical details. Vintage owners have a different dynamic and budget to deal with.

When you own a car like a Boxster and something unexpected happens like a transmission failure, you should deal with a company that offers you the same paradigm. You expect quality products and extraordinary customer service when you own a Boxster.

Be treated the way you expect to be treated. And receive the product that meets the same level of precision as your car. Call one of our representatives and find out more about our full line of Porsche Boxster automatic transmissions, transmissions, used transmissions and new. Ready to ship within 24 hours to get you back on the road fast. GotTransmissions.com.

Spicer ES52-7B Transmissions for sale


The ES52-7B is a 7 speed manual transmission for large heavy duty trucks. It is for commercial purposes only. The Spicer ”ES” prefix stands for Easy Shift. Part of Dana Holding company [a supplier of axles, big rig highway transmissions and drive-train components], Spicer was incorporated in 1904 as Spicer Universal Joint Manufacturing Company by Clarence Spicer. In 1909 it was re-named Spicer Manufacturing Company. Every model Dana/ Spicer transmission is inventoried for super service, including a Spicer ES52-7B transmission for sale sitting in front of me.

Spicer builds extreme duty driveline components, not used anymore in light duty trucks, Chevrolet and GMC offered a Spicer transfer case in the 1966 GMC 1 ton four wheel drive pickup. I owned one. It was an overkill to say the least and was not used for more than two years by the light duty division of GM before they went to a smaller more economical setup.

I’m not an authority on the large commercial sized manual transmissions. It is more of an application problem. Manual transmissions all work about the same way and that I understand.

My suggestion is to call and speak with our Spicer transmission specialist and jaw with him for a while. If you own a Spicer transmission, I’m sure you know what you have and what you want. Call us and find out why we supply plenty of large fleets and many commercial operations with any type of transmission needed. Fast service is part of the deal. Call now and get your ride rolling.

Rebuilt Transfer Cases for Sale

Rebuilt Transfer Cases For Sale

Rebuilt Transfer Cases For Sale


The term transfer case does not only apply to four wheel drive trucks and SUV’s anymore. We have to think outside the box to imagine what other names and purposes transfer cases are used for and referred to as. Don’t be surprised if we ask a lot of questions when you call about rebuilt transfer cases for sale, we want to get it right the first time.

There are two common ways the “internal workings” in most transfer cases are driven. #1; Full gear drive transfer cases use a set of gears to drive the front and rear planetary gears, and on to the front and rear drive-shafts. These are generally independent mounted, commercial grade strong, heavy gear boxes that are used in large trucks, not used in automobiles and light trucks since the NP205.

Transfer cases which use a #2; chain to transfer power internally use a wide lap link drive chain to drive the planetaries and gears, as an alternative method to gear drive. Chain-driven transfer cases have several benefits; they are noticeably quieter, much smoother and lighter in weight than gear-driven ones. The chain driven transfer cases are the most popular by a long-shot and are used in almost all modern vehicles, such as compact trucks, full size trucks, Jeeps and SUVs [AWD].

It’s important to mention that All Wheel Drive [AWD] passenger cars, SUV’s and vans use a form of a transfer case. In reality it is pretty much the same system as a 4 wheel drive pickup with some refinements such as electronic computer controlled push-button or fully automatic operation for unnoticed operation and special mounting brackets to absorb vibration.

Very popular in hilly or snow covered areas.

Transfer cases can also be referred to as either “independent” or “married”. “Married” transfer cases are bolted directly to the back of the transmission with an adapter. Sometimes a “married” transfer case is an integral part of the transmission [AWD] and the two components share the same a common housing, commonly found in the Audi A8 AWD.

An “independent” transfer case is mounted completely separate from the transmission; the transfer case is connected to the transmission by a short drive-shaft, as opposed to being bolted to the transmission. Married transfer cases account for 90 % of modern cars, luxury cars, trucks and SUV’s. Independent transfer cases are used on very long wheelbase vehicles, such as commercial trucks, over road rigs, excavating equipment, farm equipment and military vehicles.

Searching for a rebuilt transfer case? Try calling our team of specialists. All you really need for an exact match is your registration which has the vehicle identification number [VIN] on it. With the VIN, we can sell you a top line rebuilt transfer case or AWD unit and get it right the first time. Call now and find out how affordable the best can be. GotTransmissions.com

Troubleshooting Car Transmission Problems

Troubleshooting car transmission problems

Troubleshooting car transmission problems


Leave troubleshooting car transmission problems for a specialist. Regardless of the year, from super high technology computerized transmissions to older fully hydraulic operated automatic transmissions. Even manual shift transmissions should be dealt with by a professional. I know for sure that some of the replacement transmissions we sell are due to the poor diagnostics of car transmission problems.

Several issues need to be addressed, for instance, asking inexperienced people about what is wrong with your transmission is a bad start, but a good way to waste time and money. I know it is very macho for home mechanics and non transmission mechanics to give out unsubstantiated advise, however transmissions are the least understood part of your car [including the electronic controls where applicable], that is why they are a specialty.

Realistically speaking, no one but a qualified transmission specialist has the knowledge and tools to diagnose a transmission problem. Diagnosis may be the hardest and most important part of the transmission business. I see a lot of people on forums asking technical and potentially expensive questions regarding repairs on expensive cars.

Imagine someone with no automotive experience, let alone transmission experience telling someone [in a forum] that they think a need a new computer will fix their car. And a new computer costs almost 1000 dollars. What if said person took the [expert] persons advise [who has no transmission experience] and bought a computer and it did not fix the problem? Yikes. Can’t return a used, opened box computer.

There is a lot of value in letting a professional diagnose the problem. Imagine in the above experience, if the car was diagnosed by a professional for about 75.00 dollars and the problem turned out to be a bad modulator, which costs about 100.00 dollars; parts and labor? Well, that would save a lot of money over trying to save money on a diagnosis.

There is a lot of value in using an honest and reliable transmission replacement company. That’s us, GotTransmissions.com. Just as with a quality diagnosis and knowing what is really wrong with your transmission, you need a replacement company that has your best interests in mind, selling you exactly what you need.

If you have a solid diagnosis and are shopping for replacement transmissions, our specialists are trained to ask all the right questions so we can educate and service you in a manner that allows you to buy the best replacement transmission for your needs and budget, saving you money and time.

Dodge Sprinter Transmissions For Sale

The Keys to Dodge Sprinter Transmissions for Sale

The Keys to Dodge Sprinter Transmissions for Sale


All Dodge Sprinters are manufactured with 5-speed automatic transmissions to take your family or load of valuables anywhere you want with full confidence in achieving maximum life and economy. Although, the Sprinter uses a Mercedes engine, the best information available suggests the US versions use Dodge transmissions [but the pictures are of Mercedes transmissions]. As surprising as that may sound, GotTransmissions keeps Dodge Sprinter Transmissions for sale, in inventory all the time.

It’s not that it is a bad transmission, it is more a matter of increasing popularity. Although the Dodge transmissions had their share of problems, many of the issues were simply a lack of maintenance and the knowledge that Chrysler products use a very brand specific automatic transmission fluid. [ATF]. That’s the simple reality, it is a very special fluid to say the least.

Gear shifts are are commanded along with torque converter clutch activity in unison by the electronically controlled computer system. The Touchshift function ensures that you have seamless control over your vehicle and enables you to drive comfortably under any operating conditions.

One of the best mysteries surrounding the Dodge Sprinter is who made the transmission? It uses a Mercedes engine and is of Mercedes heritage. Called the NAG1 automatic transmission, [as mentioned earlier], it uses an advanced electronically controlled computer system [with no less than 20 inputs] to communicate with the transmission and lock-up clutch in the torque converter. The transmission uses a conventional pump, drums and planetary gears.

NAG1 identifies a family of transmissions and means New Automatic Gearbox, generation 1.

Various marketing names are associated with the NAG1 family of transmissions, depending on the transmission variation and specific vehicle.

Searching for A Dodge Sprinter transmission [Mercedes]? My suggestion is to leave the demystifying part to the specialists at GotTransmissions.com, it is their job to make everything understandable. Only an educated consumer will make the best decision. So make sure you ask about our rebuilt Dodge Sprinter transmissions and our low mileage used transmissions. We have your transmission in stock ready to ship. Call Us Now.

Rebuilt Buick Transmissions

Dynaflow was the trademark name for the first type of automatic transmissions developed and built by General Motors’ Buick Motor Division starting in the late 1940s, to the mid ’60s. The Dynaflow automatic, which was introduced for the 1948 model year, only as an option on the Roadmaster models. We sell a lot of rebuilt Buick transmissions for every make and model, which you will find is a considerable amount of cars.

In 1953, Buick redesigned the Dynaflow, re-calling it the Twin Turbine Dynaflow. The Buick Dynaflow had an impact on American society, here are a few media references I found in Wiki:

* Dynaflow was most famously referred to in an episode of The Honeymooners called “The Deciding Vote” (which first aired on December 10, 1955). In it, Ed Norton (Art Carney) tries to explain the troubles with the vacuum cleaner purchased as a wedding anniversary gift by Ralph Kramden (Jackie Gleason) thus: “The armature sprocket is causing interference; which, in turn, causes the combustion line to interfere with the flow in the Dynaflow.” This was a subtle sponsor plug/inside joke, as Buick was the sponsor of the show in the 1955–56 season.
* Ray Charles’ second hit record, “It Should Have Been Me” (1954), uses the Dynaflow as a sign of wealth and class in the lyric, “…It should have been me, driving that Dynaflow!” The song was written by Memphis Curtis.
* Malvina Reynolds’ song, “The Day the Freeway Froze” (1959), mentions the Dynaflow in the lyric, “And a little VW superbug was winged by a Dynaflow.”

* Tony Soprano references “Dynaflows” while berating an aged Michele “Feech” La Manna in an episode (Season 5 Episode 4) of The Sopranos.
* In Hyannis, Massachusetts there is a street named Dynaflow Drive. It passes in front of a car dealership
* Boz Skaggs song Dynaflow from his Silk Degrees LP [Source=Wiki]

In 1964, the Dynaflow was discontinued in favor of the more efficient Super Turbine 300 two-speed and Super Turbine 400 three-speed transmissions, Super Turbine 400 , turbo 2004r, turbo 700r4, etc., thus becoming Buick’s trade name for the Turbo-Hydramatic.

And that is where we are now. The Turbo-Hydramatic or Turbo or Hydramatic name has stuck since then. As mentioned earlier, many different transmissions have been installed in the Buick lineup over many years, so listing everyone separately would be a waste of time.

My recommendation for replacement transmission purposes for your Buick is from our lineup of uncompromisingly well rebuilt Buick transmissions for sale. That is a suggestion only, the first thing to do is call one of our specialists and explain your transmission problem to them, allow GotTransmissions.com to provide a solid solution to fit your needs and budget.

Mitsubishi Montero Sport Used Transmission

The Mitsubishi R4A51 transmission is a fully computer controlled rear-drive transmission with a lock up torque converter. The R4A51 was only used in two wheel drive models. The V4A51 was only used in the Sport four-wheel-drive models. This particular Mitsubishi transmission was installed in said vehicles from 1999 to 2003 only, including the Mitsubishi Montero and Montero Sport SUVs which used the 3.0- or 3.5-liter SOHC [single overhead camshaft] engines. One of the most popular and cost effective replacement transmissions is a Mitsubishi Montero Sport used transmission, referred to as JDM.

JDM is an uncommon subject to most transmission buyers. However, JDM is also one of the most viable and cost effective replacement transmissions for those uninterested in a remanufactured transmission. JDM is an acronym for Japanese Domestic Market. Briefly, these are transmissions removed from cars in Japan that get turned in because the engine does not meet the ultra strict emission requirements.

Instead of fixing the cars engine [in Japan], it is more cost effective to buy a new car, in Japan. With this in mind, and the fact that the transmissions have less than 40,000 miles on them, shipping them to the United States and making sure they are examined and certified good to be sold, is how Japan disposes of them and makes a few bucks.

In America a car with 30 or 40 thousand miles on it is brand new [almost]. For what seems like a mere pittance compared to other replacement transmission options, one can buy a JDM used transmission and satisfy a serious dilemma with a very viable solution. I would definitely consider a JDM replacement transmission if I had a car with a Japanese transmission.

Of course we can locate and send a used transmission taken out of a car in America. Regardless of your decision, allow us to supply more information so you know all of your choices in the replacement transmission field. We have a free quote form available here, or please feel comfortable calling one of our team members and ask any questions that may need answering.
