What makes a remanufactured transmission a new transmission?
Remanufactured transmissions: Commonly referred to as a “reman”, remanufactured transmissions are considered as “new” because all the original equipment and components were worked on (replaced). Here, we compare these two common types of transmissions based on different factors: warranties, quality, turnaround time, etc.
Is there a warranty on a rebuilt transmission?
Rebuilt Transmissions Unlike reman transmissions, a rebuilt transmission typically comes with a 12-month/12,000 mile warranty. If you hit 12,000 miles (even if it has not been 12 months since you fixed the transmission), the warranty expires.
Which is more reliable a rebuilt transmission or a Reman transmission?
Reman transmissions are more reliable than rebuilt systems. The actual cost for a reman or rebuilt transmission differs by manufacturers/workshops. It takes longer to rebuild and reinstall a transmission into a vehicle, but reman systems are readied and shipped from the factory.
How much does it cost to rebuild a transmission?
The estimated cost of remanufactured transmissions ranges from $1300 – $3400, depending on the car model. Also, there are no surprise charges as pre-assembled components are built into the final pricing. In contrast, the cost for a rebuilt transmission can range from $1500 – $3500.
What’s the turnaround time for a remanufactured transmission?
Hence, the estimated turnaround time for remanufactured transmissions is arguably 48 hours (2 days). In contrast, rebuilt transmissions go through a time-consuming rebuild process. The faulty transmission is removed, gets disassembled, and then compatible parts are used to “rebuild” the system.

While buying a replacement remanufactured transmission has a fixed cost, the answer to the question of a rebuild cost is sometimes difficult to ascertain until the transmission is removed from the vehicle and inspected. However, we can provide you with some information that will give you a good idea of what to expect in terms of cost.
What’s the difference between a rebuilt transmission and a Reman transmission?
While a “rebuilt” transmission usually implies that only worn-out parts have been replaced, the process to remanufacture a transmission is typically much more thorough. Good reman transmissions have all new mechanical tolerances set to factory specifications, as well as like-new durability and quality.
Is there a warranty on a remanufactured transmission?
When you install a reman unit into a vehicle, your shop doesn’t carry the warranty; the part and supplier do. While the cost and responsibility for the reman unit’s warranty doesn’t belong to you, you might have to play middleman in warranty negotiations.
