Car Transmission Warranty
What is a car transmission warranty?
A car transmission warranty is a contract between you and the manufacturer that covers the cost of repairing or replacing your transmission if it fails during the warranty period. Most transmission warranties last for 5 years or 60,000 miles, but some warranties may be longer or shorter.
What does a car transmission warranty cover?
A car transmission warranty typically covers the following components:
- Transmission case
- Gears
- Bearings
- Seals
- Gaskets
Some warranties may also cover the cost of labor to repair or replace the transmission.
What does a car transmission warranty not cover?
A car transmission warranty typically does not cover the following:
- Damage caused by abuse or neglect
- Damage caused by an accident
- Damage caused by modifications to the transmission
- Damage caused by wear and tear
How do I file a car transmission warranty claim?
To file a car transmission warranty claim, you will need to contact the manufacturer. You will need to provide the manufacturer with the following information:
- Your name
- Your address
- Your phone number
- Your VIN
- The date the transmission failed
- A description of the problem
The manufacturer will then review your claim and determine whether it is covered under the warranty. If the claim is covered, the manufacturer will repair or replace the transmission at no cost to you.
What should I do if my car transmission warranty expires?
If your car transmission warranty expires, you will be responsible for the cost of repairing or replacing the transmission. However, you may be able to purchase an extended warranty that will cover the transmission for an additional period of time.
Extended car transmission warranties
Extended car transmission warranties are available for purchase from the manufacturer or from third-party providers. Extended warranties typically last for 1 year or 12,000 miles, but some warranties may be longer or shorter. Extended warranties may cover the cost of repairing or replacing the transmission, as well as the cost of labor.
Whether or not an extended car transmission warranty is worth the cost depends on a number of factors, including the age and condition of your car, your driving habits, and the cost of the warranty. If you are considering purchasing an extended warranty, be sure to read the terms and conditions carefully before you make a decision.
