Your vehicle's transmission is a device that is connected to the back of the engine and sends power from the engine to the wheels. It allows you to easily shift your vehicle into drive, park, or reverse. Today's transmissions are made up of many components and systems that must work together fluently for your vehicle to operate properly. Components of your transmission include:
- Planetary Gear Sets
- Clutch Packs
- One-Way Clutch
- Bands
- Torque Converter
- Hydraulic System
- Oil Pump
- Valve Body
- Computer Controls
- Governor, Vacuum Modulator and Throttle Cable
- Seals and Gaskets
When your transmission is in needs of an overhaul, one option is to have it rebuilt. Your transmission will be completely removed from your vehicle. Once it is out and disassembled, each part is carefully inspected and cleaned, if necessary. Even when being rebuilt, certain parts may still need to be replaced after inspection. After the necessary parts are repaired or replaced, the transmission is reassembled and installed back into your vehicle.
