Remanufactured Automatic Transmissions: Performance You Can Count On

When it comes to your vehicle’s performance, few components are as critical as the transmission. It’s responsible for delivering power from the engine to the wheels, ensuring smooth gear shifts, fuel efficiency, and drivability. But what happens when it fails?

If your transmission is slipping, clunking, or simply won’t engage — you don’t need to panic or break the bank. A remanufactured automatic transmission from Gearhead Engines offers a reliable, cost-effective solution that gets you back on the road fast.

Why Choose a Remanufactured Transmission?

A remanufactured transmission isn’t just rebuilt — it’s completely disassembled, cleaned, inspected, and restored to OEM standards using brand-new or requalified components. This includes:

New gaskets, seals, clutches, and bands
Updated valve bodies and torque converters
Software or mechanical updates based on factory bulletins
Full-system testing before it ever leaves the shop

We don’t just fix what’s broken. We restore the entire unit so it performs like new — or better.
