Automatic transmission

What are the benefits of a Mercedes‑Benz Genuine Remanufactured automatic transmission?

The complete transmission is the time-saving repair option for automatic transmissions from Mercedes‑Benz. Rapid availability and extensive pre-assembly keep non-operational time as short as possible. A test rig process ensures that full functional safety is guaranteed under load and in various simulated driving situations. Thorough cleaning maintains a high standard of quality and longevity and ensures that no foreign objects damage the mechanical component parts.

How does an automatic transmission work?

Our automatic transmission for trucks is a fully automatic transmission. This means that the shifting strategies are designed to strike the best possible balance between comfort, speed and efficiency. The way in which the engine, clutch and transmission interact is configured to ensure that all gear changes take place as quickly as possible. Shifting between the gears is free of any juddering. If this is not the case, it is possible that there may be a mechanical/hydraulic fault or an error in the control electronics (shift valve, control unit). An automatic transmission for a truck usually comprises electronic sensors, a transmission control unit with up-to-date software and a complete wiring harness.

How do you identify a defect?

Over the years, a transmission may come to exhibit some of the following symptoms. If you notice any of these symptoms while driving, it is highly likely that you will need to have your transmission repaired:

• The transmission judders or slips while shifting
• Pulling away takes longer than usual
• The transmission shifts up and down in higher gears (fluctuating engine speed)
• The engine switches off when you stop at an intersection
• The transmission oil level is low
• The transmission makes noises

Mercedes‑Benz quality for your truck automatic transmission.

Before the fully automatic transmission is reinstalled, it is broken down into its separate parts and cleaned thoroughly. Wear parts are replaced and subjected to rigorous testing by trained professionals. The automatic transmission can then be reinstalled. Remanufacturing of an automatic transmission incorporates expertise in the latest series production methods from Mercedes‑Benz. A genuine remanufactured part is therefore comparable to the equivalent new part in terms of quality and functionality. Not only that, but you will also be sparing both the environment and your wallet by using resources smartly and economically.
