Most people don’t even think about the difficulty and art form of removing and installing a replacement transmission. The success of replacing a transmission can be compromised just as easily by an inexperienced installer as it can by purchasing less than perfect transmissions.
Replacing a transmission in your driveway can be a real challenge even for someone with experience. It’s almost impossible to do if you have a front wheel drive car. But the first thing I think about is safety. Even with an assistant, inexperienced home mechanics may want to consider paying a specialist to perform this activity.
Special equipment and procedures have to be performed before the fresh transmission is installed. The most important procedure to follow, which will determine success or failure is to flush out the transmission cooler system 100%. I know a lot of general repair shops that install transmissions without flushing the cooler. Never even heard of the procedure.
When you don’t flush a cooler, essentially a quart or so of dirty and heavily contaminated with metal and clutch materials ATF, (automatic transmission fluid), that is in the cooler portion, gets pushed right back into your surgically clean transmission. Causing an unfortunate failure to a new transmission.
There are plenty of other secrets to transmission installations as well, so seek professional help on this issue. That is why it is a specialty, you would not go to a walk in medical clinic if you needed specialty shoulder surgery, so it’s important to seek out the best transmission specialist to do the task.
