Core Charge and Exchange Explained:
Please understand that we MUST have your transmission core. NO TRANSMISSIONS WILL BE SHIPPED BEFORE WE RECEIVE AND INSPECT YOUR CORE. Without good cores, rebuilt parts will not be put back into circulation. Please do your part to keep our cars going for years to come!
All transmission cores must be deemed rebuildable by the transmission builder. Broken or damaged components on a transmission will reduce or, in some cases, void your core refund. The biggest problem we find nowadays is water had, or has been, in the transmission. When water and gear oil mix, it becomes acidic and will eat holes through a magnesium transmission case!! Water also rusts the gears, bearings, and components inside the transmission. If your core transmission had or has water inside it, the chances are good that the core is worthless.
Due to the impossibility of purchasing parts to rebuild the 1966 and older 6-volt transmissions, we can NO LONGER accept 6-volt transmission cores. It is not just that the bell housing is smaller, it is that these transmissions also require different bearings and synchro’s that are no longer available.
Important: All transmission cores must be like for like. In other words, we cannot give you full credit for a swing axle transmission when you ordered an IRS transmission. There are some exceptions, so if unsure, PLEASE CALL FIRST before ordering. Any transmission that has not been drained of gear oil before being returned will incur a disposal fee of $25.00.
