What to know when considering a transmission rebuild?
The clutch engages or disengages the powertrain from turning the drive shaft. This allows the driver to shift gears before disengaging the clutch to allow forward motion to continue. Remanufactured parts are used parts that have been completely torn down and rebuilt. Any worn or damaged parts are replaced.
Can a transmission be repaired without dropping the car?
Some parts of your transmission can be repaired without dropping it out of your vehicle, but not all parts are as easily accessible. If a component needs repair that cannot be accessed from the vehicle’s underside, the transmission will need to be removed. Some damage goes beyond the repair of a single component, however.

Becoming familiar and aware of the feel of your clutch and transmission will help prevent costly repairs in the future.
What happens if one clutch in a clutch pack goes bad?
When the debris starts going around, it will damage other soft parts in the process. Soft parts also tend to wear at about the same pace (within the same group). So, not just one clutch in the clutch pack will go bad, but the entire group of them will go bad.
