What Is a Transmission Rebuild?
A transmission rebuild involves completely disassembling the transmission, inspecting every component, replacing worn parts, and then reassembling it to factory specs or better. It’s more in-depth than a repair, but far more affordable than full replacement — and it extends the life of your vehicle by tens of thousands of miles.
At Vedder’s, every rebuild includes:
- Full disassembly and inspection
- Cleaning of all internal components
- Replacement of worn or damaged clutches, seals, gaskets, and bearings
- Updated or upgraded hard parts (when needed)
- Reassembly with care and precision
- Testing and calibration before reinstalling
When Is a Rebuild the Right Choice?
You may need a transmission rebuild if you’re experiencing:
- Severe slipping between gears
- Grinding or clunking noises while shifting
- Delayed or erratic shifting
- Fluid that is dark, burnt, or leaking excessively
- Repeated minor failures that repairs haven’t resolved
In many cases, rebuilding your transmission can save you thousands compared to buying a new or remanufactured one — especially when the core housing is still in good shape.
