When it's time to replace your 02M VW transmission, it's important to choose the best available option. The remanufactured 02M transmission for sale here at Reman-Transmission offers the best balance between affordability and reliability. It is not only more budget friendly than a new one, but may actually be better. That’s because our remanufacturers correct any known factory defects during the remanufacturing process.
Remanufacturing is more extensive than just rebuilding. In remanufacturing, every part inside the bell housing is either replaced or remachined. This allows all of the parts to wear evenly and avoids putting unnecessary stress on old components.
Meanwhile, rebuilding only replaces failed parts, while leaving other old components as-is. This leads to a less reliable result compared to remanufacturing because the untouched old parts will wear differently than the new ones.
Buying a used transmission that hasn’t been reworked is the cheapest way to get your car rolling, but this has some drawbacks. The main one is that nothing has been done to bring new life to the old parts, so it's hard to gauge how long a used transmission will last. Even here at Reman-Transmission, the warranty on a used transmission is far shorter than the one on a remanufactured gearbox.
Choosing a new transmission may seem like the safest bet, especially considering that it's the most expensive option, but that isn’t always the case. A new one still has all of its factory defects and poor engineering decisions untouched. With the 02M, that means you can expect problems with the shift forks, some of which were made with soft brass; the synchros; and the input shaft bearing. Problems like these will have been fixed in a remanufactured transmission from Reman-Transmission.
At Reman-Transmission, we stand behind the transmissions we sell. Each remanufactured unit is warranted for up to 36 months with unlimited mileage. We do also offer used transmissions for those who need to get their car moving as quickly as possible. Used versions are warranted for up to 6 months or 6,000 miles.
Each transmission is thoroughly inspected and tested before it gets shipped to you. You can rest assured that there will be no bad surprises when you order from us.
Shipping is surprisingly affordable considering the size and weight of a transmission. We only charge $398 to send your transmission to a commercial location, such as your preferred auto shop. If you would like your transmission to be shipped to your home, it's just $99 more.
