What is a Transmission Overhaul?

Rebuild transmission

A transmission overhaul is the same as a transmission rebuild. It’s considered a major transmission repair. Rebuilding or overhauling a transmission requires removing and disassembling the entire transmission from your vehicle with every part being inspected for damage, need of repair or replacement, or need of cleaning. Eventually the transmission will need to be rebuilt if you keep your vehicle running long enough. The best cost-effective solution is a transmission overhaul if there is significant internal damage or wear to your

transmission.


Signs You Need a Transmission Overhaul

Most transmission repairs are considered relatively minor. These repairs consist of replacing clutches, flushing out old transmission fluid, replacing solenoid packs, or minor adjustments needing to be made. These minor transmission repairs can’t solve every problem involving your transmission. Some of the warning signs of major transmission trouble is:


Grinding Gears

Gears grinding sound like two metals grinding on each other and are the top sign of transmission issues. This could be a sign of low or no transmission fluid in the gears. Another cause of grinding gears is worn out gear teeth. If this is the case rebuilding the transmission should correct the problem.


Burning Smell

Smelling a burning odor could be a sign of a faulty transmission. This smell could indicate a problem with the transmission fluid overheating. To prevent the transmission unit from complete failure, this problem needs to be fixed immediately.


Unusual Sounds

If you notice strange noises coming from your vehicle’s transmission or odd sounds while shifting gears, these signs could point to a problem with your transmission. These sounds could be a humming, whining, or even a grinding noise. It is essential to have your

transmission inspected as soon as possible.


Transmission Fluid Leaking

A reddish fluid leaking from underneath your vehicle is a clear

indication of a transmission fluid leak. It is dangerous for a transmission to operate without adequate fluid. Without proper lubrication, the transmission moving parts will overheat and lead to significant damage to the transmission.
