Commercial Vehicle Transmission Replacement Service

What to Expect with Commercial Vehicle Transmission Replacement

The actual process of replacing a transmission in a commercial vehicle is no different than changing the transmission in a privately owned car. The difference is that commercial vehicles tend to be driven by multiple drivers with varied driving styles. It's also an unfortunate fact of life that commercial vehicles aren't always treated as well as people tend to take care of their own cars.

Further, commercial vehicles are used for work, often in bad conditions or while hauling or towing heavy loads. Because of these factors, the transmissions need to be rebuilt or replaced more often than might typically be expected, and replacement can be a better option to assure the vehicle continues to provide peak performance.

Regular Commercial Vehicle Transmission Maintenance

Transmissions have to be replaced because over time the gears wear down and don't make proper contact. Such a condition is exacerbated by towing or hauling heavy loads or by a driver who shifts a manual transmission.

If your transmission fluid isn't checked and kept at the proper levels, or if it isn't changed at appropriate times, that can cause further stress to the gears as metal flakes, grime, or condensation has a chance to build up in the fluid reservoir. Again, this is more of a consideration with commercial vehicles if the drivers don't realize the appropriate times for such maintenance routines.

What Happens if a Faulty Transmission Isn't Replaced

The first thing that happens when the transmission begins to go bad is it has trouble going into certain gears. That problem will eventually lead to drivers skipping gears with a manual transmission, or having to either manually shift or perhaps allow the vehicle to start rolling in neutral to put it into either drive or reverse with an automatic.

Not only such conditions unsafe but eventually, the transmission will become damaged to the point it doesn't work at all and the vehicle will not be drivable. Worse than the needed repairs is the fact having a commercial vehicle out of service can result in a loss of sales, or worse, a failure to deliver on time which can cause a loss of customer confidence in the company.
