Transmission Remove and Replace
Transmission Repair — Cheyenne, WY
When diagnosis shows the transmission really is finished — burned clutches, a wiped pump, hard parts in the pan — TDC handles the full remove-and-replace: sourcing a quality reman or used unit, replacing the converter and cooler flushing (skipping that step is how replacement transmissions die young), and doing the install with driveline angles and torque specs respected.
You'll get an honest conversation about options first: a reman with a warranty, a good used unit for an older truck, or a built performance transmission if the truck is tuned or tows heavy and the stock unit was never going to live anyway.
What's Included
- Honest reman vs. used vs. built discussion
- Torque converter replaced with the unit
- Cooler and lines flushed — non-negotiable
- Proper installation, fluid and relearn procedures
- Performance options for tuned diesels
Transmission Problems, Diagnosed Honestly
- Check the basics first
Fluid level, condition and smell, plus a scan for codes — a surprising number of 'dying transmissions' are none of the above.
- Road test and data
Shift points, slip, flare and hunt get verified on the road with live data watching line pressure and converter behavior.
- Diagnose before teardown
Electrical, hydraulic or mechanical gets determined before anyone talks rebuild money.
- Fix at the right level
Service, targeted repair, replacement or performance build — matched to the truck and your plans for it.
