At Nashville Performance, rebuilding transmissions is a complex process that requires precision and attention to detail. One critical aspect of this process is the filtration of transmission fluid. Proper filtration ensures the longevity and optimal performance of rebuilt transmissions.
Why Transmission Fluid Filtration Matters
Transmission fluid acts as a lubricant and coolant for the moving parts inside a transmission. During a rebuild, contaminated or degraded fluid can cause damage to new components, leading to early failure. Effective filtration removes debris, metal shavings, and other contaminants, protecting the transmission and extending its lifespan.
Key Benefits of Proper Filtration
- Enhanced Durability: Clean fluid reduces wear on internal components.
- Improved Performance: Smooth operation and better shifting.
- Cost Savings: Fewer repairs and longer intervals between rebuilds.
- Protection Against Contaminants: Removes particles that can cause damage.
Filtration Techniques Used at Nashville Performance
Nashville Performance employs advanced filtration methods during transmission rebuilds. These include high-quality filter media, magnetic filters to capture metal shavings, and multiple filtration stages to ensure the fluid is as clean as possible before reassembly.
Steps in the Filtration Process
- Drain old transmission fluid and remove the transmission pan.
- Inspect and replace the transmission filter with a high-quality replacement.
- Use specialized filtration equipment to clean the transmission fluid.
- Reassemble the transmission with freshly filtered fluid.
By prioritizing fluid cleanliness, Nashville Performance ensures that rebuilt transmissions operate reliably and efficiently. Proper filtration is not just a step; it’s a crucial investment in the durability of every transmission they service.
