Our Transmission Rebuild Process

Every transmission overhaul follows a structured process:

Green industrial transmission

Full strip-down inspection to identify wear, damage and root cause of failure.

Inspection & Diagnosis

Gear tooth inspection, clutch pack measurement, bearing and seal evaluation, shaft and housing checks.

Measurement & Assessment

Replacement of worn bearings, seals, friction plates, clutch components and damaged gearing as required.

Component Replacement

Careful reassembly to manufacturer specifications with final testing to ensure correct operation.
 

We focus not only on repairing the failure, but also identifying contributing factors to prevent repeat issues.

Reassembly & Testing

When Should a Transmission Be Rebuilt?

Transmission rebuilds are recommended when:

Slipping clutches

Delayed or harsh engagement

Unusual noise or vibration

Oil contamination or metal particles

Loss of drive under load

Scheduled preventative maintenance intervals

Early intervention can significantly reduce long-term repair costs.
