You might think shopping for a used transmission is as simple as finding one at a good price, buying it and having it installed. Clearly, that’s the way it should be but there are several important factors to consider for assuring a successful transmission replacement. 

First, it’s crucial that your used transmission comes from a reputable source, especially one that includes an acceptable warranty with the purchase. There are several reasons for this:

• Transmissions are large and heavy.
• They are relatively expensive to replace.
• Used transmissions can have internal damage you can’t see.
• You can’t drive without it one!
