How to Find Used Transmissions for Sale

How to Find Used Transmissions for Sale

by Trans Works / Wednesday, 11 June 2014 / Published in Transmission

When the transmission on your vehicle stops working, the least expensive option is to find some used transmissions for sale. As long as you can find a transmission that is in good shape, your vehicle should run for years to come on this used part. Make sure that the transmission that you find is in good condition before making the purchase, as you do not want to buy someone else’s problem. Your best option is to buy from a junk yard or a shop in your area that specializes in transmissions, since this gives you the best chance of finding one that still works.

Browse Your Area

Although it might seem like an outdated method, looking through the phone book is a great way to find used transmissions for sale. This is because all of the shops that work on transmissions in your city can be found in this one, convenient location. Then, all you have to do is start calling these shops until you find one that carries the type of transmission that you need. It might also be a good idea to research each shop online before making a commitment, just to make sure that you are dealing with a reputable company.

Check the Mileage

Unfortunately, some customers get so excited when they find a used transmission that will fit their vehicle that they forget to learn about the condition of the unit. Remember that the lower the mileage on a transmission, the more life it has left. While it is great if you can find a transmission at a low cost, it does not make much sense to purchase one that you will have to replace again very shortly. To get the mileage, you might have to ask for the VIN of the vehicle that the transmission came from and then ask for a verification report.

Trans Works Transmission is a Portage, Wisconsin based transmission shop that can get your car back out on the road in no time at all. For more information on the services that they can provide, visit the company’s website at https://trannyman.net/blog.
