The success of buying a rebuilt transmission is largely due to choosing the best parts to use. We have spoken about hard parts like the pump assembly and planetary gears, and we have spoken on soft parts, such as bands, seals, gaskets and o-rings. The quality of the parts used is as much part of the overall life of your freshly rebuilt transmission as the tools and labor put into it.
Supposing every thing was equal except the parts when a transmission is rebuilt, meaning the labor process and mechanic are the same and the machine work is on the money. In both cases the differences in lifespan of your rebuilt transmission might be 30,000 to 70,000 miles in the overall life of your transmissions. Assuming the transmission was installed properly and you use synthetic transmission fluid.
Do you think it is worth saving a few hundred bucks on parts at most, for losing of that much of the life of your investment in a transmission is rebuilt? It is not logical to think that way. I would rather buy one of the low mileage used transmissions than a poorly rebuilt transmission.
Part of a rebuilt transmission job is a rebuilt torque converter. If the rebuilt transmission you buy does not have a rebuilt torque converter, than the job is not complete, and start to run as fast as you can to a telephone and call 866-320-1182 and speak with on of the pros at GotTransmissions.com
At the end of the day, when you pick up your car, trust me, you will think you just bought a new car. You probably forgot how nice it drove while the transmission slowly deteriorated. With that in mind, you can sleep better knowing that you made a sold and smart decision by buying the best rebuilt transmission on the market, not the cheapest.
In reality the ‘cheapest’ transmission will cost more than the ‘best’ transmission, since the cheapest transmission will need replacing perhaps 2 or 3 times while the best unit will keep on ticking. Don’t forget to take good care of your rebuilt transmission, follow your maintenance suggestions in the owners manual.
