Time, money, and a car you’re not ready to say goodbye to just yet. Rebuilding a transmission isn’t a simple process. When you don’t want to purchase a new vehicle, you must handle this intensive process with care.
Is all the time and effort worth it? Read about the factors that affect how long a rebuilt transmission lasts.
The Quality of the Transmission Rebuild
Using high-quality manual transmission replacement parts during a rebuild is the most effective way to make the transmission last. Taking shortcuts or trying to save money on cheap, low-quality parts will only shorten the vehicle’s lifespan.
Always put your best foot forward. Rebuilding a transmission is like installing a brand-new one in your car. If you were to buy that car off the lot, you’d hope the manufacturer used the highest-quality parts to create a smooth and safe drive on the road.
Transmission Maintenance
A car cannot run without frequent maintenance. Maintenance is exceptionally important for rebuilt transmissions!
It’s important to check and change the transmission fluid regularly. Check the status of the fluid every month. Once the vehicle reaches about 30,000 miles, the fluid needs replacing.
An overheated engine is the last thing you want to happen, so performing regular maintenance and checking the transmission fluid are incredibly important. Upkeep is a must when you want the vehicle to last for years.
The Style of Driving
Are you driving in big cities with ample traffic or mostly open roads and interstates? Driving on hills and rough terrain or smoothly paved roads? Your driving style with a rebuilt transmission is one factor that affects how long it lasts.
As you’re rebuilding a transmission, consider the vehicle’s purpose. The average expectancy of a rebuilt transmission lies between 30,000 to 50,000 miles. If you conduct proper maintenance and use high-quality parts, the lifespan can extend past 120,000 miles!
Excessive wear occurs when driving aggressively. The more power the transmission exerts, the shorter the car’s lifespan. When you establish the purpose of the vehicle during the rebuild, you can also determine how long the vehicle should last with the rebuilt transmission.
