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

Several elements can influence your decision between transmission replacement and rebuilding:

Damage Degree: Minor issues might be best addressed with rebuilding, while severe damage could require replacement.

Budgetary Concerns: While rebuilding can be economical, replacement offers a brand-new start.

Warranty Aspects: Mister Transmission provides warranties, especially for new transmissions, offering added security.

Charlie Farquharson
Jamie and Stewart provide no nonsense service. They are personable, and able to explain transmission problems and solutions. They removed the failed manual transmission from my Fiat 500, stripped it down, declared it beyond repair. I found a used one with LKQ, got it to Alberta, and they inspected it, and refitted. They replaced other items that were suspect while they were working on the car. I phoned most transmission shops in Alberta, they either would NOT work on a Fiat 500 manual box, or had never touched one. Jamie had removed and worked on them in the UK, so experience rules. So Fiat 500 owners... use Red Deer Mister Transmission. Also if you have a weird European vehicle, see Jamie and Stewart....

Brought my ford explorer in for a free diagnostic. Sadly the transmission needs an overhaul but the quote from here compared to the dealership was much less, ford also charges for the diagnostic. Transmission issues I would recommend using a place like this who specialize with transmissions and the free diagnostic is a bonus.
