As a family owned and operated business, S-O-S Transmissions has worked on cars for more than 30 years. In that time, S-O-S Transmissions has faced a lot of questions about transmissions. Some of the most popular questions come from people in the Chicago area who are uncertain about the differences between rebuilt transmissions, re-manufactured transmissions, and used transmissions.
What Are Rebuilt Transmissions?
When you purchase a rebuilt transmission in Chicago, you are purchasing a part that has been completely reconditioned. This involves a thorough cleaning and inspection to detect any potentially broken or overly worn parts. When completing the rebuilt transmission process in Chicago, qualified mechanics look at parts to determine if they can be reused. This determination is based entirely upon the manufacturer’s definition of acceptable wear limits. Some rebuilt transmissions may come with a limited warranty.
What Are Used Transmissions?
Transmissions that are used typically come from vehicles that have been sitting in a junkyard. These types of transmissions may not even be cleaned before they are used. They are also not taken apart or inspected. Many people choose this type of transmission because it can be the cheapest option. But they have no way of knowing how much mileage has already been put on that transmission or the shape of the transmission as a whole.
What Are Re-manufactured Transmissions?
A re-manufactured transmission aims to make an old transmission as close to new as possible. The core materials are inspected and all the replacement parts are either new or re-qualified in order to meet specific standards. Core components in this case refer to valve body, converter, extension housing, pump, case, and many of the internal components. The transmission is also thoroughly tested to make sure it lives up to the original manufacturer’s production standards. Click here to know more about our services.
