Is Transmission Replacement or Rebuilding the Right Choice for You?

When your vehicle’s transmission starts showing signs of wear or malfunction, it’s time to turn to trusted experts. Mister Transmission, a leader in the field, often encounters this dilemma with vehicle owners: Should they opt for Transmission Replacement or Rebuilding? Let’s explore both options to help you make an informed choice.

The Art Of Transmission Rebuilding At Mister Transmission

Rebuilding a transmission, a specialty of Mister Transmission involves taking it apart, inspecting each component, replacing worn or damaged parts, and then reassembling it. The aim is to restore the transmission to its best working condition.

Pros:

  • Often more cost effective than a full replacement.
  • Tailored to your vehicle’s specific requirements.
  • Environmentally conscious due to part reuse.

Cons:

  • Might take longer, depending on damage severity.
  • Not always possible if the damage is too extensive.

Transmission Replacement: A Fresh Start With Mister Transmission

Opting for a transmission replacement at Mister Transmission means substituting the faulty transmission with a new or refurbished unit. This could be a brand-new piece or a remanufactured one that meets original specifications.

Pros:

  • Often quicker than the rebuilding process.
  • Comes with a new warranty from Mister Transmission, ensuring peace of mind.
  • Suitable for extensively damaged transmissions.

Cons:

  • Can be pricier than rebuilding.
  • The new unit might not align with the vehicle’s unique wear patterns.

Factors To Consider: Mister Transmission’s Expert Advice

I had my 2007 Toyota Rav 4 transmission rebuilt almost 2 years ago. Decided to bring it back for a transmission fluid change and for another check before the warranty expires. What I didn’t tell them is that there’s already a leak (my neighbour told me). I’m giving this business a 5 star review because they are honest. They told me it had a leak and they had to replace the seal, and it was still under warranty. Wow! Thank you!!!

I have a 2015 Mazda 3 with automatic transmission. It is having jerking issue at 2nd gear when the car is cold. One of my known mechanic suggested Ken for transmission issues. I went there and parked my car overnight to make sure it is cold. In morning, Ken drove it and figure out instantly it was a computer mechanism trying to save fuel by engaging clutch and gear differently, which is normal and I should not spend any money on it. I liked Ken's experience and knowledge and his guidance which saved me going broke.

Had a leak from the pan and front seal on my transmission. Despite being busy these guys were able to seal up the pan within one day. No leaks from the pan. I decided to hold off on the main seal as it is a slow leak and I'll deal with it in the winter when the cars in storage. Thanks
