While there are benefits to choosing a rebuilt manual transmission, there are also cases were remanufactured manual transmissions are an excellent choice. Talking to your transmission specialist is always a good place to start to learn the benefits of this choice over your other options.
In general, the more damage there is to your existing transmission the more beneficial remanufactured manual transmissions may be over rebuilt options. This is not always the case, especially with classic or collector vehicles where finding a remanufactured tranny may be a virtual impossibility at any price.
Later Model Cars and Trucks
If you have a high mileage later model car or truck going for remanufactured manual transmissions over rebuilding your existing transmission may be the best option. This is true because a remanufactured transmission is often out of a lower mileage vehicle or, if it isn’t, all the parts have been machined to like new condition. This is not always done in rebuilt trannys where the original parts may simply be cleaned and replaced.
Upgrades to Specifications
At specialty shops that offer remanufactured manual transmissions or automatic transmissions, all the most recent upgrades and recommendations by the manufacturers are followed with each transmission. This may not always be the case with a smaller transmission shop completing a rebuild.
In addition the warranty on any remanufactured transmissions will exceed that of a rebuilt transmission by years, always an important consideration for a newer vehicle or one with lower mileage. In fact, many company fleet cars and vehicles are fitted with these transmissions just for the warranty reasons.
Speed of Replacement
Another factor to consider is the speed which remanufactured manual transmissions can be replaced versus having them rebuilt. The rebuild process will take two to three days in most cases and if people need their vehicle this can be a problem.
To solve this issue a remanufactured transmission can be ordered, delivered and installed, typically within a day depending on the location of the transmission shop and the availability of technicians and shop space.
There are a lot of positives to choosing remanufactured manual transmissions over rebuilt or repaired options. Price is a big factor but so is the warranty and speed of the replacement. We carry an extensive inventory of remanufactured manual transmissions. To find out more go to Trannyman.net.
