When your Kia transmission fails, replacing the entire vehicle isn’t your only option. A remanufactured Kia transmission offers the same performance, reliability, and smooth shifting as a brand-new unit — at a fraction of the cost.
Unlike used or recycled transmissions, remanufactured units are completely rebuilt, tested under OEM standards, and backed by warranty for long-term confidence.
Whether you drive a Kia Optima, Sorento, Forte, Soul, Sportage, Rio, Telluride, or Stinger, a remanufactured transmission restores factory-grade performance and helps you avoid costly dealership replacements.
A true remanufactured transmission is more than a repair — it’s a complete rebuild. Every component is cleaned, inspected, measured, and reassembled with new or reconditioned OEM-quality parts.
Key components replaced or rebuilt include:
Every transmission is dyno-tested, pressure-tested, and electronically calibrated before leaving the facility to ensure flawless performance under real-world conditions.
Feature | Remanufactured Transmission | Used Transmission | Rebuilt Transmission |
|---|---|---|---|
Testing | Dyno & road-tested | None | Limited |
Warranty | Up to 5 years | None | 30–90 days |
New Parts | All wear parts replaced | None | Partial |
Fitment | VIN-matched | Unverified | Varies |
Reliability | Like-new | Unknown | Inconsistent |
