When your transmission begins to fail, you have a few options that you can consider: replace, repair, or rebuild. Depending on the condition and age of your transmissions, a repair might not be advisable since you will likely spend more in the long run compared to the cost of a rebuilt or new transmission.
When it comes to replacing or rebuilding Transmissions in GR, there are pros and cons to each choice. Here are some of the benefits of rebuilding your transmission over buying a replacement.
1. Less Time in the Shop: Having to go without a car for any length of time is a major inconvenience. When you have your transmission rebuilt as opposed to replaced, you can actually have your vehicle back much sooner (a few days or faster). If you want to get back on the road quicker, this is your fastest option.
2. Cost-Effective: Perhaps the biggest benefit of rebuilding transmissions is the fact that you can save hundreds to thousands of dollars compared to purchasing a refurbished or new transmission. In general, transmission rebuilds cost about half as much as full replacements. This is because rebuilds require fewer materials and are less labor intensive, both of which save you considerable amounts of money.
3. More Eco-Friendly: If caring for the environment is important to you, then you’ll be happy to learn that rebuilding transmissions are much more environmentally friendly than replacing them. That’s because a rebuild only requires the replacement of damaged and worn parts.
