Want to learn how to rebuild a transmission? Our experts at European Exchange have some advice on how to rebuild a transmission.
Rebuilding your own transmission is not something you should do lightly because it is an incredibly complex piece of machinery, and doing it wrong can cause lasting damage to your vehicle. That said, if you have the right tools, patience and close attention to detail it’s a job you can do yourself with the right equipment. Consult with our transmission pros at European Exchange before you begin so that you can confirm that you have all the tools you need.
Keep in mind that your transmission includes dozens of parts that need to be identified and organized so that you can effectively reassemble your transmission later. Prepare a location for the parts in advance so that the parts can be properly sorted and labelled when you take the transmission apart. Losing parts or getting them confused is one of the easiest ways to make your rebuild a failure.
The first step to rebuild a transmission is to remove it from your vehicle. More than likely this means removing the entire engine block from your car so that you can remove the transmission. You will also most likely have to remove the torque converter and the oil pan.
Once your transmission is removed, disassembled and organized, it is time to begin cleaning the parts of your transmission that will be remaining and sorting in the new ones to replace the broken or worn out ones that will not. If you are unsure which parts need to be replaced, talk to one of our transmission experts at European Exchange. You can purchase replacement parts individually or you can purchase a transmission rebuild kit from .
Once you’ve cleaned your transmission and replaced the parts that need replacing, you will have to reassemble the transmission. This is where you will get into trouble if you haven’t properly organized your parts when you disassembled your transmission. One mistake here could be catastrophic, so it’s important to run a variety of tests to make sure your transmission is reassembled properly and that the parts you have put in place work. If you have any doubts about the effectiveness of your rebuild, don’t start your car, consult European Exchange to test it for you.
