Our Technical Processes

Customers need to know our professional competences. This section describes them.

Cleaning

When the transmission unit arrives it is disassembled and cleaned, removing all contaminants that result in premature wear to gears, bearings, shafts and other components such as the valve body. We wash individual components by hand. Every part is inspected and surfaces are polished to extend their life expectency.

Torque converters

Remanufacturing transmission units includes remanufacturing torque converters. At RECRO this includes cleaning, inspecting and replacing washers, spacers, springs, rollers and lock-ups. The turbine fins are also inspected during the remanufacturing process as well as retightening and welding. Hubs are also carefully inspected and replaced where necessary. We also ensure that we pressure test converters, then dynamically balance them to eliminate vibration that could cause noise, leaks or transmission damage. This process is a practical demonstration of our goal of providing gold medal solutions.

Valve bodies

The valve bodies are disassembled, cleaned and reconditioned by our team of skilled technicians. All components of the valve body are inspected for wear and the valve body is re-configured to fit and seal perfectly with the transmission case.

The valve bodies are vacuum tested for leaks and then placed on a test bench which simulates vehicle operation. The vehicle speed and driver behaviour are varied hydraulically. The test locates cracks and imperfections precisely and verifies accurate shift points.

Transmission inspection

We test transmission performance at the assembly point to ensure its correct operation before additional assembly and testing is performed. We apply pressurized fluids and special fixtures to test circuit leakage.

Transmission assembly

RECRO guarantees that remanufactured transmission units contain new and certificated parts. This ensures consistent performance and long life. Naturally, our skilled technicians assure potential owners of “quality through technology”.

Transmission testing

RECROguarantees that every remanufactured transmission system is dynamometer tested with recorded inspections to shift patterns and shift pressures. A stall test, fluid leak test, a lockup test and park test are performed. Tests are made at varying RPM's and at full and closed throttle positions. Standard transmissions are tested at the test bench for effective gear engagement as well as gear and bearing noise and proper engagement of the shift rails into the detents. Unlike other remanufacturing companies, RECRO not only uses ready-made solutions provided by test bench producers. We also constantly develop software to improve test accuracy and adapt the test bench to the newest automatic transmission requirements.

RECRO remanufactures transmissions for Commercial Transport and Heavy -Duty or Off-Highway Vehicles as well as  transmissions for Agricultural Machinery. We provide services for ZF, Voith DIWA, Allison, DANA Spicer ,Clark , Hitachi, Terex, CAT, Volvo-CE, Komatsu equipment.

Complete rebuild and overhaul services are available including a pick-up, remanufacturing and returning your transmission.

Feel free to contact us with your requirements, or any questions you may have.

Transfer case is a part of the drivetrain of four-wheel-drive, all-wheel-drive, and other multiple powered axle vehicles. The transfer case transfers power from the transmission to the front and rear axles by means of drive shafts. It also synchronizes the difference between the rotation of the front and rear wheels, and may contain one or more sets of low range gears for off-road use.

In the remanufacturing process of transfer-case, we completely disassemble and clean it from debris. After, we carefully inspect a body case for cracks and make inspection of all internal parts. Our standard process includes change of bearings, sealings, gears, and if necessary, chain and worn out hard-parts.  After remanufacturing a transfer-case is filled with a new fluid and tested for leakage.

The differential is the part of your vehicle's drivetrain that enables your left and right wheels to turn at different speeds when making turns. The differential is positioned between two wheels and attached to each wheel by an axle shaft.

Recro remanufactures a complete line of Rear Axle Assemblies and Differentials for most of passenger cars as well as commercial and industrial vehicles.     

In the remanufacturing process, we completely disassemble and clean it from debris, do inspection, change bearing kit, sealing kit, adjust bearing and gearing, also we fill with a new differential fluid.
