The process of a transmission rebuild involves replacing or repairing the internal components of your transmission. This includes the clutch, seals, gaskets, bands, and transmission fluid. Your mechanic may replace the transmission completely or repair the existing one. In either case, the transmission will be fully inspected to identify any worn or damaged components that need to be replaced.

Several signs typically indicate that your transmission needs to be rebuilt. These include grinding or clunking noises when shifting gears, slipping or slipping gears, or leaking transmission fluid. Additionally, if your transmission is having trouble shifting gears or is not engaging properly, then it may need to be rebuilt.
