Remanufactured Transmissions FAQ

Used

Used components are generally pulled directly from a junkyard vehicle and typically do not even receive a surface cleaning. Used transmissions are normally not disassembled, internally cleaned, or inspected. Used or junkyard components often have high mileage along with a poor history of maintenance – this can be a failure waiting to happen. Many used or junkyard components come from a vehicle that was involved in an accident. If this is the case, the transmission may have unseen damage.

Rebuilt

Rebuilding involves reconditioning by cleaning, inspecting and replacing broken or severely worn parts. Serviceable parts are generally reused within the manufacturer’s acceptable wear limits. Rebuilt components quality can vary widely and many rebuilt products come with only a short term warranty.

Remanufactured

To remanufacture is to make as closely to new as possible. All core material – case, extension housing, pump, valve body, converter and various internal components – are carefully inspected, checked against original equipment measured specifications for correct dimensional tolerances and precisely remanufactured to ensure proper operating pressures. Replacement parts are new or requalified to meet exacting standards and tolerances. Testing of the transmission is performed to manufacturer measured specifications as well as original production standards.

All JASPER remanufactured transmissions have a core and skid charge that is billed at the time of sale. When the core is returned, a JASPER Associate will review it and determine the amount to be credited back to the customer’s account. The core that is returned to us must be a like-for-like Make, Model and Type, but not a junkyard core. Cores must be returned drained of all fluids and oil, assembled and attached to the same undamaged skid or container in which your remanufactured transmission was shipped. Cores must be returned within 30 days of the delivery date in order to receive credit. The full core credit will be given unless certain damages and exceptions noted in our core policy are found.

The core policy on our reman transmissions varies according to a number of parameters. It is best to speak to one of our sales representatives for information as it relates to your specific transmission application.

Most of our transmissions will ship freight free, via our company owned over-the-road fleet, to one of our branch locations. Transmissions are then delivered to one of our installers in your area. There are times when freight charges apply. One of our Sales Representatives can provide specific information. Please call 800-827-7455.
