An Overview

If you’re familiar with transmissions, great! If not, we’re happy to provide a brief overview that might prove useful as you navigate commercial vehicle repair. Your heavy-duty transmission is designed to haul a load. Even so, you can experience transmission trouble. Underlying factors include overheating, defect, traffic accident damage, failure to maintain the unit properly, and/or aging/wearing. You should observe new noises, high engine or transmission temperatures, and low transmission fluid levels. These are some typical early warning signs of the need for transmission repair. The most common repairs to these heavy-duty units include fluid/filter replacement, torque converter replacement, and rebuilding/replacing the transmission. Changing the fluid and filter as needed goes a long way toward protecting your heavy-duty unit. A sufficient amount of clean fluid will help cool the transmission and keep the gears properly lubricated. A failed torque converter has to be replaced to maintain the operability of your vehicle. This component is responsible for multiplying the force generated by the engine such that the vehicle can move with no physical exertion from the driver. If your transmission has failed, you’ll need either a rebuild or replacement, as it sounds. A rebuild exchanges non-working parts while other parts are cleaned and reinstalled. Seals are also replaced. A replacement entails putting in another new or refurbished unit. Although they occur less frequently, other potential repairs include clutch repair, o-ring replacement, replacement of bearings, and transfer case fixes.
