Transmission rebuilds in Plantation

Your own transmission comes back shifting like it should, with new parts where they count. We take it out, take it apart, find what failed and rebuild it with new soft parts, new seals and a new torque converter. If the diagnosis shows the problem is only fluid, a solenoid or a leak, we tell you that instead of selling you a rebuild.

What we do

Transmission rebuilds

  • Diagnose first with a scan, a road test, a lift inspection and a fluid check, so a rebuild is the right call
  • Remove the transmission, take it fully apart, then clean and inspect every part
  • Replace all the soft parts every time: friction clutches, bands, seals, gaskets and O-rings
  • Replace the hard parts that are worn or damaged, such as drums, gear sets, shafts or the pump
  • Install a new torque converter with every complete rebuild
  • Send you photos of the failed parts, and stop for your yes if the job changes once it is apart
  • Refill with the fluid your transmission calls for and run a relearn when your car needs one
  • Road test before you pick it up

How the price works

After the diagnosis, you get a written price for the complete rebuild before anything comes apart. Sales tax is on parts only, never labor. You pick the warranty length, 90 days, 1 year or 2 years, and the written price shows your choice. If we find something else inside, you get a photo and a separate price, and no is a normal answer.

Questions people ask

How long does a transmission rebuild take?
It depends on parts and on what we find once it is apart. A rebuild usually takes several days. You get the timeline in writing with the price, and we text you if it changes.
Why is a new torque converter part of every rebuild?
The converter connects the engine to the transmission. When a transmission fails, debris ends up inside the converter, and a converter cannot be opened and cleaned like the rest of the unit. Putting the old one back would send that debris right through your rebuilt transmission.
What are soft parts and hard parts?
Soft parts wear out with use: friction clutches, bands, seals, gaskets and O-rings. Hard parts are the metal pieces: gears, drums, shafts, the pump and the case. A complete rebuild replaces the soft parts every time, plus the hard parts that are worn or damaged.
Why does my car need a relearn after a rebuild?
Many newer cars have a transmission computer that learns how the clutches wear and adjusts the shifts to match. After a rebuild those old settings no longer fit, so a relearn lets the computer start fresh and the shifts feel right. We tell you up front if your car needs one.
Do you rebuild transmissions in trucks and luxury cars?
Yes. We rebuild automatics in cars, SUVs, pickups and vans, including luxury models. Text us the year, make and model and we tell you what to expect.
