What Parts Are Usually Replaced in a Transmission Rebuild?
Understanding which parts are typically replaced during a transmission rebuild can help vehicle owners grasp the extensive work involved in restoring their transmission's functionality. Here’s a closer look at the key components.
Commonly Replaced Components
During a transmission rebuild, several key components are commonly replaced to ensure the system operates effectively. These typically include clutches, which are crucial for engaging and disengaging gears; seals and gaskets, which prevent fluid leaks; and filters that help keep the transmission fluid clean. Additionally, bands, which help apply pressure to the clutches, are often replaced due to wear. If the torque converter is malfunctioning, it may also be replaced to enhance efficiency.

We prioritize replacing worn or damaged parts to restore your transmission to optimal performance, ensuring a smoother driving experience and prolonging the overall lifespan of your vehicle.
Additional Components and Quality Assurance
Beyond the standard replacements, some transmissions may require the replacement of more intricate components like solenoids, which control the flow of transmission fluid, or planetary gear sets, which are essential for gear shifting. Each vehicle's transmission system is unique, so the specific parts that need replacing can vary based on its condition and make. Technicians at Fix It Transmissions also pay close attention to the condition of the transmission housing, ensuring there are no cracks or severe wear that could affect performance.
