Our Transmission Rebuild Process

Cleaning

This is normally done on the hard parts that may be used in the re-assembly. Thorough cleaning is done on these parts to remove dust, grease, and any debris that might have infiltrated into the system.

Inspection

After disassembling the transmission and cleaning of the necessary parts, the mechanic does an overall check to affirm the re-use of the parts that have not been damaged.

Assembly

The transmission is now put back together and the mechanic has added any new updates to modify the transmission as requested by the customer.

Transmission Inspection Checklist

During a transmission rebuild the technician inspects every item related to the transmission.

Transfer Case

Check to determine if the seals or gaskets are damaged.

Control cables

Ensure that the throttle pressure is not broken. Also make sure that the shift cables are in the right condition.

Main Engine Rear Oil Seal

Confirm its condition to determine whether it is leaking or not. Leaking seals should be changed.

Drive Shaft

Inspect to ensure that the u-joints are in the correct shape. Also ensure that the yoke is not worn-out.

Transmission Mounts

Check to ensure that the mounts are not broken.

Transmission Assembly

Cleaning the Transmission Cooler

Before installing the rebuilt transmission, the technician should clean the automatic transmission cooler. This ensures that the debris that may be present is removed to avoid any harm to the newly rebuilt transmission.

Reinstallation of the transmission

This step will include adding specific fluid to the transmission. The fixed transmission parts are put together, and then a thorough inspection is done to ensure that they are properly fixed. A final quick test drive is performed, and any further adjustments are done at this point.

Quality Assurance Check

This is the final step, which involves checking for missing or loose bolts, correct fluid level, fluid leaks, and making sure that electrical harnesses are properly fastened. A final check is performed on the vehicle’s computer to ensure that there is proper coordination.

Transmission Replace or Rebuild

Sometimes a customer is at cross-roads on whether to go for transmission replacement or transmission rebuild. The decision of choosing between the two options lies on the damage that has been caused to the transmission. If there is too much damage, a technician may recommend a total replacement, which is a very costly process.

Transmission rebuild is recommended when a minimal number of parts need to be fixed to bring the transmission back to normal. It is a cost-friendly route as long as you find the best transmission mechanic to rightfully identify the parts that need to be fixed. This means that the parts that are in good condition will be left with a little maintenance performed on them, and the bad ones will be replaced.

I couldn’t be more grateful for Patrick and his crew at A-Affordable Transmission Center. After my clutch gave out in the middle of a busy intersection, I called Patrick, he immediately set me up with his tow guy and within an hour my Jeep was at his shop. They were able to take a look the next day, gave me all the details of what was needed, and had the work completed in two days. I was so impressed with the customer service and the work done. I have a great warranty on the work completed! Thank you Patrick and your crew!

At the time of this post it has been a week since my transmission has been fixed. The car is running as expected without issues. The service advisor, Mr. Patrick Shaver, did exactly what he said he would do. I would highly recommend this company.

Randy did an excellent job with helping me out financially when I just had my transmission rebuilt a year ago the warranty expired and he was here to save the day. Excellent work I hope this one last longer than three years the way the vehicle is performing. Thank you for all your help and understanding A Affordable Transmission Shop. The staff was also friendly and professional as well 20stars to all.

My son was having shifting issues with his car. I talked with some friends for any reliable, fair auto shops and A Affordable Transmission Center was recommended. I contacted them and was able to get in quickly for a diagnostic check. Issues were identified and fair price for repairs was quoted along with the timeframe for completion. Everything went smoothly and vehicle was repaired as promised on time. Very friendly staff, knowledgeable and quick to respond to communications. I highly recommend their services.

We brought my father’s truck in here, green ’98 Mazda truck, we made the mistake of taking it to a different shop first it was never right. Patrick and his team provided exceptional service! Great value for all the work they did! They even removed my dads rusted step rails at no extra charge! Patrick took they time and thoroughly explained to my dad the parts he replaced, and why they needed to be replaced. Highly recommend this shop! Thanks A-Affordable for getting us back on the road again!

One of the best auto shops I’ve ever been to. These guys rebuilt my transmission on a Ford Escape. I called 5 or 6 different shops comparing prices and Affordable had the best price in town. Every single person I spoke with over there was polite, respectful, and helpful. And the best thing, in my opinion, is that they actually answered the phone each time I called. And the one time they didn’t, the returned the call within a couple hours. That kind of prompt response is almost unheard of these days. I would highly recommend anyone check them out if you’re having car issues. Patrick, Ben, and Michelle were all awesome and very helpful. Thanks for getting my ride back on the road again!
