Transmission SealsThe average transmission overhaul kit contains all of the sealing components you need to to rebuild a specific application: from o-rings to gaskets and steels to clutches. When you open up your kit, the sheer number of small parts inside can feel a bit overwhelming. Despite the organized packages and instructions inside to help you, it can be tough to know if you're missing a part until the unit is torn apart on your bench, effectively bringing your rebuild job to a stand still.

Using incomplete overhaul kits can only hold your business back from providing a exceptional customer experience (not to mention the headaches incomplete kits can cause your techs). In this post, we'll discuss the most significant benefits of using a guaranteed complete transmission overhaul kit that make it worth the investment.

Top 3 Benefits of Using a Complete Overhaul Kit

  1. Save time: When you have everything you need from the very start of your rebuild, you can get the job done quickly the very first time. With all the right parts at their fingertips, accounting for application variations and other installation challenges, your techs won't lose precious time sourcing the missing part or digging for makeshift seals around the shop.

  2. Transmission TechnicianIncrease profits: When a missing part slows down the progress of your current rebuild, your business is missing out on new paid work that could be taking its place in your shop. When you save time on your transmission rebuilds, it means your shop can undertake more work, bringing with it the financial benefits of a smooth, effective shop process. Additionally, when your kit is complete, you won't need to order any additional parts (which can come at higher costs when bought separately) to complete the rebuilds on your plate.

  3. Avoid stress: Your technicians have enough challenges to worry about without the added stress of contacting the kit manufacturer and asking for a missing part to be shipped out. That back and forth can eat up a lot of time, but also a lot of patience. The peace of mind that comes along with knowing all the right sealing components are included in the kit can raise motivation and morale in the shop. Having the right parts also makes every rebuild simple and straightforward to perform, even if it's the first time you've worked with a new application.

Complete Overhaul Kits are Backed by Industry Research

When you're ready to make the switch to using the most complete transmission overhaul kits in the aftermarket, choose a seal manufacturer with well-established experience in the industry. With this transmission experience comes the means to research what goes into the overhaul kit for every application in your shop (as well as many more that still have years to go on the road before a rebuild). Only the manufacturers with a transparent, multi-step research process can truly guarantee that their overhaul kits have every single part you need — and the best even improve upon the original equipment in the process. The true benefits of using complete overhaul kits in your shop boil down to increasing your productivity as a business, ensuring that every rebuild you send out the door was done simply and effectively.
