Are rebuilt or reman transmissions OK?
A "reman" unit is generally, a transmission that has been reconditioned in a mass assembly line process as opposed to a custom rebuilding process. Quality of reman units varies greatly depending on which company remanufactured a given unit and what standards the remanufacturer sets for its company.
The decision of whether or not to use a reman or a custom unit has many variables.
- How do you use your vehicle?
- Is the transmission in your car a problematic type or a more simple type unit?
- How long do you plan to own the vehicle?
- Is your vehicle subjected to special driving conditions such as extreme weather, trailering, unusual mountainous or city use?
These and many more are circumstances that should be taken into consideration by you as a consumer and your qualified transmission diagnostic professional before a decision should be made as to whether to utilize a reman unit or a transmission rebuilt to your specific driving needs.
There is nothing wrong with having your transmission rebuilt — but only if you need to. Many shops as well as consumers jump to extremes and always expect the worst. Although having your transmission rebuilt is less expensive than a new one, it usually takes longer. Over half of the vehicles that come into Certified Transmission don't require a rebuilt transmission.
