![]() ![]() This is where most misunderstandings are likely to take place. Hard parts can include anything from a solenoid to a complete transmission case. (2) Hard Parts: Any needed part not included in a rebuild kit. An automatic transmission rebuild kit contains all the parts that, by design are going to eventually wear out, and consist mainly of new clutches, bands, seals, gaskets, bushings, bearings and internal transmission sealing rings along with a new transmission filter. (1) Soft Parts: A complete Master Rebuild Kit (MRK). Internal Automatic Transmission Parts fall under two main categories, Soft Parts and Hard Parts. ![]() The Parts Needed To Consider An Automatic Transmission “Rebuilt” This includes checking for leaks, correct fluid level, loose or missing bolts, making sure electrical harnesses are securely fastened and a final check for any transmission related codes in the vehicles computer. QA Check: The final step, a quality assurance check should be performed after the test drive. Test Drive: A final test drive, adjustments and quick learn procedure if applicable (adapting the vehicles computer to the newly rebuilt transmission) are one of the last steps of the transmission installation. Installation also includes adding new vehicle specific transmission fluid. Installation: Re-installing the transmission along with any needed transmission related parts identified as bad in the above inspection, only If approved for replacement by the customer. The cooler can be packed with debris from the old transmission which can harm the newly rebuilt transmission. Transmission Cooler Cleaning: An automatic transmission cooler MUST be cleaned before installing the rebuilt transmission. Engine Rear Main Oil Seal – Leaking one piece seals can be changed with the transmission removed.Control Cables – frayed or broken throttle pressure and/or shift cables.Electrical System – Corrosion, shorts or bad connectors.Drive Shaft – Bad u-joints or worn yoke.CV Axles -Torn boots or worn out joints.Transmission Mounts – Broken or collapsed.The Flexplate – Cracks or missing / worn teeth.Inspection: Everything related to the transmission installation should be inspected at this point and should include items such as: ![]() Removal: Close attention to other non transmission parts should be taken when removing a transmission, collateral damage to other parts can occur without realizing it until the car is back on the road. A small mistake can damage the transmission or other components leading to a very expensive repair. Unlike performing a brake job or installing a radiator, installing today’s modern transmissions can be very complicated. Just like rebuilding a transmission, it is equally important that the transmission installation be performed by a technician experienced in installing transmissions. (2) The Labor To Remove And Re-Install The Transmission Also upgrades requested by the customer should be performed at this point. Assembly: Assembling a transmission not only means “putting it back together”, but also modifying the transmission with new updates to correct manufacturer specific problems. ![]()
