FROM THE CEO
Dont Be a
Victim
ver the past year, Ive made a

concerted effort to avoid negative influences. Ive stopped
watching political shows, I dont get
involved in political discussions, and
I try to avoid people who spend their
time complaining.
And with good reason: I was
becoming increasingly disturbed by
current events and the economy. As a
result, I found it harder and harder to
stay positive and focused.
There was bad news everywhere
you turned: The country was falling
apart, the economy stinks, and theres
misery as far as the eye can see.
I wrote about this last January and
of my decision to avoid negative influences. Rather than spend time listening
to the news or my favorite political
shows, I now spend that time with my
family and my hobbies. Its a decision
I dont regret.
It was tough at first; Id made a
habit of watching certain shows in the
evening and, like any habit, the first
few weeks were difficult. Now I dont
even think about it.
I no longer focus on all the bad
things going on around me; instead, I
concentrate on effective ways to avoid
them, move past them, and even benefit
as a result of them. Just look around
and listen to the language of people
bogged down by victimhood; its
becoming a growing trend and its
spreading everywhere.
Signed onto a bad loan? Its the
fault of predatory lenders. Someone
didnt get that promotion they were
looking for? Its discrimination.
Business not doing well? Let's blame it
on reman companies. We even see it in
the NFL locker rooms.
2
1fm ceo114.indd 2
Not to say
there arent
bad
things
going on, or
people looking to take
advantage
of you; there
are, and thats
something
you need to
watch out for.
And its
certainly not to suggest that the commoditization of transmission repair
hasnt made it a challenge to run a
transmission shop; it has. But while
everyone is faced with these challenges, plenty of shops are doing well; some
are doing extremely well, in spite of the
challenges.
So what is it about those shops that
makes them successful while others are
struggling? In looking back over the
shop profiles for the last few years, one
thing stood out that they all had in common: A great attitude. No matter how
many obstacles they face, they make
it a point to face them with a can-do
attitude.
Theyve chosen not to be victims:
Instead, theyve managed to focus on
the customer by providing exceptional
service. Many have found they dont
need to expand into general repair to
stay in business. They can focus on
what they love doing: transmission
repair.
Its not that they arent facing the
same difficulties as the rest of the
industry. Theyre just more determined
to succeed.
One of the ways that many of the
more successful shops have chosen to
by Dennis Madden
members.atra.com
face the new paradigm is to refocus

on wholesale work; reaching out to
general repair shops that offer transmission repair in their area. For them,
its become a great way to expand their
businesses, while maintaining their
focus on transmission repair.
Thats why this years Whats
Working study is going to reach out to
the general repair industry. Were going
to find out what theyre looking for
when it comes to wholesale transmissions. And were going to analyze that
data, and use it to help ATRA Members
evaluate whether theres room for them
to expand into the wholesale market.
As we move into 2014, make the
decision to stay positive and focused.
Just like anything else, it gets easier
with practice. And, once you get past
those negative thoughts, its harder to
see yourself as a victim. Suddenly, a
world of possibilities opens up for you.
And that study on general repair
shops? Well share that with you this
October at ATRAs Powertrain Expo.
I look forward to seeing you there; I
positively cant wait!

Resetting Shift Adapts: Myth or Must?
THE WORD ON THE STREET
Resetting Shift
Adapts:
by Mike Souza
members.atra.com
Myth or Must?
Figure 1
hether youre installing a

remanufactured transmission, rebuilding the original unit, or just changing the valve
body, you need to reset the shift adapts
on most vehicles in todays market. If
the aftermarket scan tool youre using
doesnt have the capability to reset
adapts, you may have to tow the vehicle
to the nearest dealer for the reset procedure even if your shop is 300 miles
away.
In some cases, if the transmission
isnt shifting too aggressively (which
could damage internal parts) or isnt
4tech114.indd 4
slipping (which would damage the new

clutches), you may be able to drive
the vehicle to the dealership or shop
equipped to reset the shift adapts.
One of the most important issues,
too often overlooked, is the need to
clear all codes in most modules. Any
codes that affect engine load signals
must be cleared before resetting shift
adapts.
In addition, engine and transmission temperatures must be at operating
temperature in most vehicles. Many vehicles can be drive-learned, but do so
with caution: It may damage the new
clutches. If its possible to drive the

transmission through all the gears on
a lift before taking the vehicle on the
road, do it. This is similar to what most
shops did on the early Chrysler A604
transaxles.
Some vehicles antilock brake
(ABS) or traction control systems
(TCS) may not allow you to drive the
vehicle on the lift. Those systems require all four wheels to be turning at
the same time. In those instances, drive
the vehicle at light throttle through all
the shifts at least ve to ten times before relearning shift adapts at a medium
1/7/14 9:43 AM
Figure 2
or heavy throttle. Its also important to

perform an engagement relearn.
Shift adapt resets have been around
before 1996, or pre-OBD-II compliant vehicles. One example is an OBDI type vehicle such as a 1994 Chevy
pickup with a 4L60E transmission. We
had one of these come in with the 2-4
band burnt to a crisp and the reverse
input drum completely distorted (hourglassed).
After installing a rebuilt transmission, the 1-2 shift was extremely harsh;
somewhat brutal. It would relearn on
its own, but the time it would take was
uncertain. If given back to the customer
before the relearn was complete, you
can be sure thered have been a complaint.
Most scan tools had a functional
test section (gure 1) to reset the shift
adapts to factory settings. The vehicle
still had to be driven to relearn the
shifts, but the shifts wouldnt be so brutal.
There was a term used in transmission shops called brain deading
the computer. You simply removed the
battery cables and clamped or taped
them together for several minutes, then
turned on a few electrical items, such as
the radio, windshield wipers, or headlights. This process would discharge
all the capacitors in the computer that
were holding power for memory. After
4tech114.indd 5
turning all the items off, youd reconnect the battery and basic factory shift
adapts were reset.
A great example of this type of
reset is a 1994 Ford Taurus that came
into our shop. The vehicle complaint
was it shifted late. I drove the vehicle
and found that it was shifting from 1st
to 3rd and then to 4th. The scan data revealed the computer was commanding
this shift pattern. The transmission uid
was extremely burnt and contaminated.
After sitting on the lift for a couple
days with the battery disconnected during the rebuild and install, it shifted the
same way. We disconnected the battery for a few minutes while I pressed
the brake pedal. The transmission then
shifted through all the gears properly.
The reason for the odd shift pattern was Fords failsafe function called
FMEM Failure Management Effects
Mode. The rst time the transmission
slipped going into 2nd gear, the computer raised the pressure during the
shift into 2nd gear by 33%. If 2nd gear
continues to slip, the computer strategy
raises the pressure 33%, up to 3 times;
if it still slips, the computer eliminates
the shift altogether.
On some later vehicles, performing
the brain-dead procedure can cause the
computer to lose key memory, so the
engine wont start. If the local dealer
doesnt have off-board ashing capa-
bilities, the vehicle would have to be

towed to them to be ashed through the
data link connector (DLC). Thats why
using the function test feature from a
capable scan tool is smarter than using
the brain-dead technique.
Lets go over a few examples of
some later model reset procedures.
Some vehicles are quite simple while
others require a capable scan tool. The
rst example of a simple reset that
doesnt require a scan tool reset function is the Aisin TL80-SN transmission
(gure 2).
The Aisin TL80-SN is an 8-speed,
rear wheel drive transmission, found in
the 2014 Cadillac CTS.
Youll need to perform a self-learn
procedure after any of these repairs:
transmission replacement
transmission internal service or
repair
valve body repair, cleaning, or
replacement
torque converter replacement
TCM replacement
TCM software/calibration update
Any service or repair in response
to transmission DTCs.
Self Learn Procedure
You must meet these conditions

before performing the self-learn
procedure:
Perform
any
adjustments,
5
1/7/14 9:43 AM
programming, or setup procedures required when removing or

replacing a component or module.
Clear the TCM of all DTCs.
Make sure the transmission fluid
is at the correct level.
Verify with a scan tool that
transmission fluid temperature is
at least 65C (about 150F).
Once youve verified these
conditions, youre ready to perform the
self-learn procedure:
1. Move the shift lever from neutral
to drive and back to neutral.
Perform this procedure five times,
pausing for five seconds between
each neutral-to-drive-to-neutral
position cycle.
2. With the engine running, move the
shift lever from neutral to reverse
and back to neutral. Perform this
procedure five times, pausing
for five seconds between each
neutral-to-reverse-to-neutral
position cycle.
NOTE: Steps 3, 4, 5, and 6 require
driving the vehicle. Never use
manual gear function to perform
these steps.
3. With the engine running, move the
shift lever into drive.
4. Accelerate the vehicle at light
throttle (scan tool throttle position
between 15%-25%) to 73 km/h
(45 MPH), then decelerate to
a complete stop. Perform this
procedure five times.
5. Accelerate the vehicle at medium
throttle (TP 45%-55%) to 73
km/h (45 MPH), then decelerate
to a stop. Repeat this procedure 5
times.
6. Accelerate the vehicle at heavy
throttle (TP greater than 70%)
to 72 km/h (45 MPH), then
decelerate to a stop. Repeat this
procedure five times.
7. Turn the ignition off for at least two
minutes.
Thats all there is to it; youve performed the self-learn procedure, so the
transmission should be shifting properly.
This next example is for late model
Kias; it requires a capable scan tool.
The adaptive values must also be relearned by following steps 2 and 3 after
resetting (figure 3). Use the scan tool to
6

Some Toyotas may require a scan

tool to perform an adapts reset similar
to Kias, using one of two procedures.
The chart (figure 4) shows which
years require procedure 1 using a
capable scan tool. This procedure is
shown in figure 5. Vehicles that dont
require a scan tool for procedure 2 is
shown in figure 6.
Heres how to perform procedure 2:
1. Disconnect the negative battery
cable for 5 minutes.
2. Reconnect battery cable.
3. Start the engine and warm it up
to normal operating temperatures
before test-driving.
4. Perform a thorough test drive, with
several light-throttle accelerations
from a stop, until its shifting
properly.

Thats all there is to it.

No doubt about it: Resetting shift
adapts is no myth; its a must. Its one
that can have a dramatic effect on
your transmission repairs. Failure to
reset adapts can reduce the life of your
rebuilds
and
cause
customer
complaints. And in many cases, the
procedure isnt all that much more
involved than a thorough road test!

s more CVTs are being used

today we need to keep up with
the technology. The Subaru
Lineartronic CVT will be showing up
at your shop soon. Getting familiar with
this transmission and its controls is the
first step to a successful repair.
In this article youll learn about
the transmission sensors and locations;
how to operate and test the sensors; and
how to test the inhibitor switch, line
pressure, and transfer case clutch pressure. Figure 1 provides a reference to
the major components.
On top of the transmission are two
main electrical connections. Subaru
calls the black connector the T3/B12
connector; it contains wires for the
inhibitor switch and the primary speed
sensor.
Subaru calls the gray
connector the T4/B11 connector; it contains wires for
seven transmission solenoids,
the transmission temperature
sensor, front wheel speed
sensor, secondary speed sensor, secondary pressure sensor, and the sensor grounds.
These connectors are easy to
reach while performing your
electrical tests.
The passenger side of
this transmission is where
most of the sensors are located (figure 2). The primary
pulley speed sensor is located
below the main connectors on top of the
transmission. The primary pulley speed

sensor is a three-wire Hall Effect sensor

that creates a signal based on the speed
of the primary reduction gear.

delivers a signal
based on the pressure in the secondary circuit; think of
secondary pressure
as line pressure.
The
inhibitor switch is on the
manual shaft. To
remove this switch
you have to knock
out a roll pin and
remove the shift
lever. This is easier
said than done.
The inhibitor
switch is the basic
range switch for telling the TCM what
gear the transmission is in. It also allows the engine to
start in park and neutral and controls
the backup lights.
On the drivers side of the transmission there are just two sensors and
a ground wire (figure 3). At the rear of
the transmission on the tail housing you
have the front wheel speed sensor. Yes,
the front wheel speed sensor is on the
rear tail housing, which is a long way
from front wheels.
The front wheel speed sensor creates a signal from the outside of transfer
case clutch drum. The transfer case
clutch drum is powered by the forward
or reverse clutch assembly and also
powers the transfer gear to the front
differential. The front differential powers the front wheels. This is a confusing
way of doing things, but in the transmission trade thats normal.
Under the sound shield in the
middle of transmission is the secondary speed sensor. The secondary speed
sensor creates a signal based on the
secondary reduction driven gear, which
is in the case and powered by the secondary pulley assembly.
Take particular notice of the ground
location. This wire provides ground
for the three speed sensors, inhibitor
switch, and one of the grounds for the
transmission control module.
The three speed sensors on this unit
are all three-wire, Hall Effect sensors.
They receive system positive voltage
from the shutdown relay and ground.
The third wire is the signal wire to the
transmission control module. The sig12
1jarad 114.indd 12
Figure 3
nal wire (center terminal) will produce

a five-volt digital signal if the sensor is
operating correctly.
In-car testing of the inhibitor
switch is easiest at the T3 black connector on top of bellhousing. This connector is in the middle of the main harness.
Use figure 4 as a guide for testing the
inhibitor switch in the car. This is T3
pin out view.
Figure 5 shows the pin location of
the range sensor for bench testing.
Figure 6 identifies the wires and
terminals at each connector.
The last piece of information you
need to test the inhibitor switch is
shown in figure 7.
Now lets test the inhibitor switch
at the T3 black connector. Set your
meter to check continuity and check
for continuity between the terminals
shown: (see chart below)

You should have 2.5k ohms at 68F

(20C) and 330 ohms at 176F (80C).
You can also check the solenoids
resistances at the T4 connector. Figure
9 provides all the solenoid values
and pin numbers to check; all of the
solenoids are normally grounded to
the case, so just check the resistance
between the terminal listed and a good
chassis ground.
Pressure testing this unit requires
a special fitting (14mm x 1.5mm) and
gauge set. This transmission creates
high pressures; close to 1000 PSI. You
need a gauge or pressure transducer that
can handle those pressures and deliver
the pressure readings accurately.
Subaru offers its own pressure
gauge and fitting tools:

Double Duty Dodge Diesel: The 68RFE P0871 Overdrive Clutch Failure
A SHIFTING BUSINESS
Double Duty Dodge Diesel:
The 68RFE P0871

Overdrive Clutch
Failure
by Mark Puccinelli
members.atra.com
Figure 1
n 2007, Dodge introduced the

68RFE in the 3500-series truck
equipped with the 6.7 Cummins
diesel engine. This transmission is the
heavy duty, 6-speed version of the
45RFE transmission introduced back
in 1999.
Whats interesting about this powertrain combination is that these trucks
are truly used as work vehicles. On
the other hand, the 2500 series trucks
are equipped with the 5.9 diesel and
the 48RE transmissions are more often
16
1mark114.indd 16
used as hotrods and dragsters.

In case you were wondering, RFE
stands for Rear Drive Fully Electronic.
In the 3500D series, the 68RFE
transmission is exposed to a harsher
working environment than a 45RFE
in a 1500 series truck. The harsher
working environment has created some
unique problems with the 68RFE that
are rarely seen with the 45RFE.
Common Problems
Here are some of the more com-
mon 68RFE complaints:

DTC P0871 when hot
Repeated overdrive clutch failure
Binds in 3rd gear when hot. This
condition is often confused with a
bindup on the 3-4 shift
What weve discovered is that all
three of these conditions can relate to
the same basic failure. Heres why:
Code P0871 indicates an overdrive fluid pressure switch rationality
fault. What this means in simple terms
is, when the overdrive fluid pressure

switch should be open, its closed; or

when its supposed to be closed, its
open (figure 1). This code can be set by
either an electric or hydraulic problem.
Electrical P0871
Each clutch in the solenoid pack

has its own fluid pressure switch, just
like a 604.
All of the pressure switches receive
a reference voltage signal from the
TCM. As long as the overdrive fluid
pressure switch is open, the reference
voltage will remain high; that is, itll
stay at reference voltage level.
When the switch closes, it grounds
the circuit. The voltage pulls down to
zero volts. If the overdrive pressure
switch circuit shorts to ground, the
TCM will see the overdrive switch as
closed; if it hasnt commanded 4th gear
yet, the TCM will set the code.
Code P0871 usually sets when
the overdrive switch circuit voltage
remains at zero volts in 1st through 3rd
gears. This usually indicates a valve
body problem.
Cut the overdrive

pressure switch
circuit wire:
pin 16 at the
transmission
connector
Figure 2
Hydraulic P0871
If a crossleak develops in the valve

body and closes the overdrive pressure
switch, the reference voltage will again
drop to zero volts.
The question becomes how to
determine whether the code was set
electrically or hydraulically. Both problems an electrical short in the overdrive switch circuit or a valve body
crossleak that closes the switch will
pull the reference voltage to zero volts.
The TCM cant determine which
condition caused the problem. It only
sees that the overdrive switch voltage
is zero when it should be at reference
voltage, so it sets the code.
Diagnostics and Road

Testing
Check your scan tool for event

data. If the data shows that the code
sets in 1st through 3rd gear, then most
likely the code is being generated by a
valve body problem. If the event data
isnt available, youll need to road test
the truck to duplicate the code setting
condition.
Remember the code definition:
the overdrive pressure switch is
closed in any gear other than 4th,
18
1mark114.indd 18
Figure 3
or its open in 4th gear.
Road Test Method 1
Monitor the overdrive pressure

switch PID only, using data stream
select mode. This means the only PID
the scan tool is looking at is the overdrive pressure switch. If the switch
closes in 1st3rd, it indicates a valve
body problem. See road test method 2
to confirm your findings.
Road Test Method 2
Cut the overdrive pressure switch

circuit wire: pin 16 at the transmission
connector (figure 2). This eliminates
the possibility of a shorted circuit causing the code to set.

Since youve taken the circuit out
of the equation by cutting the wire,
if the code sets while in 1st through
3rd gears, the TCM has to be at fault.
Always recheck the TCM event data on
your scan tool to make sure the code
didnt set while in 4th gear. If the transmission shifts into 4th with this wire cut
the P0871 will set on the 3-4 command;
thats normal, because the circuit cant
pull down the way it should in 4th gear.
Road Test Method 3
Install the oil pressure test pan,

Miller 1456-6, and attach a 100-PSI
gauge or transducer to the overdrive
clutch port. If you dont have the test
pan, make a trip to your local hardware
store and pick up some 1/16 pipe
thread brass fittings for 1/8 plastic
tubing. You can run the gauge tubing or
the wiring for a transducer out the filler
tube (figure 3).
Road test and monitor the pressure
in the overdrive circuit. While the transmission is in 1st through 3rd gears, the
overdrive clutch circuit should remain
at 0 PSI. If you see pressure on the
overdrive clutch circuit while the transmission is in 1st through 3rd gears, the
code is being set hydraulically.
The majority of P0871 problems
occur when the switch is closed hydraulically in 3rd gear: a valve body problem.
Valve Body Problems
A worn #4 checkball will feed line

pressure in the overdrive circuit.
Wear in the solenoid switch valve
bore can cause P0871 to set by
feeding the overdrive circuit and
closing the switch. There are
aftermarket repair kits available
to fix this (figure 4).
While there are other possible
valve body problems that can set code
P0871, they havent been resolved yet.
If the code still sets after repairing the
switch valve bore, the only other solution available is to replace the valve

body with a new one. Dodge sells a

replacement valve body with the solenoid pack for $479.
If the overdrive pressure switch is
closing from a valve body problem, the
pressure will also apply the overdrive
clutch when its supposed to be off.
This will cause a bindup in 3rd gear and
cause the clutch to drag and burn out.
68RFE vs. 45RFE Work

Environment
Vehicles equipped with a 68RFE

are generally being used as work
trucks. They pull large trailers all the
time, while the 1500 series truck with
a 45RFE may pull the family ski boat
once a month. A transmission thats

subjected to constant high line pressure, high torque demands, and repeat
hot-cold temperature cycles is going
succumb to metallurgic fatigue. This
is why the 68RFE is showing up with
problems that 45RFEs rarely exhibit.
The RFE series transmission is a
well-built unit. As with any transmission repair, paying attention to the
details before, during, and after the
repair is the key to the customers and
your success.

What's That
Sucking Sound?
by Steve Garrett
members.atra.com
ot too many years ago a

mount was simply a mount.
It was made of rubber and,
if it wasnt broken or collapsed, it
was thought to be good. In our everchanging industry, mount technology
has changed just like other vehicle systems. Today you can find four different
mount technologies in use:
Mechanical
mounts
conventional molded rubber

interlaid with metal strips.
Hydraulic mounts fluid filled
for dampening.
Electronic an electric motor
controls dampening noise or
vibration. This design measures
the vibration frequency and
amplitude of the vibration.
The mount is then signaled to
develop a movement 180 out of
phase, effectively cancelling the
vibration.
Some electronic mounts, such as
those developed by Delphi, use
a technology known as Magneto
Rheological fluid. This design
uses a fluid with tiny particles of
iron suspended in it. By sending
current through the fluid, the
iron particles line up, effectively
changing the mounts fluid
viscosity/dampening.
Vacuum typically fluid filled,
controlled by vacuum and an
22
1garrett 114.indd 22
Figure 1
electronic control system.

The advent of the vacuumcontrolled mount is really nothing
new, but does raise a lot of questions
when you find a couple of vacuum
lines connected to the mount. Honda,
Toyota, and GM are just some of the
manufacturers that use this design
mount.
The advantage of a controlled
engine mount, including vacuumcontrolled it they can adjust to accommodate a wide range of vibrations.
A standard mount will dampen the
effects of specific frequencies, yet
transfer frequencies outside its
design range; causing vibrations that

passengers can feel. The controlled
mount varies its frequency dampening
throughout the entire range of the
engine. Issues such as fluid leaks, rough
engine idle, misfire, harsh transmission
engagement and knock/clunk on the
shift are just some of the symptoms that
you may run across.
Most vacuum mounts on the
market today operate in a similar
manner, so lets take a detailed look at
one of the systems. To understand the
operation of the mount, lets look at the
2014 Cadillac ATS (figure 1), which
uses vacuum-controlled engine mounts
1/7/14 11:27 AM
Vacuum controls a
pair of diaphragms
within the mount,
which control fluid
channeling. Vacuum
to the mount is
turned on or off to
control fluid flow
within the mount.
on the 2.0L (RPO LTG) turbo and the
2.5L (RPO LCV) engines. The system
consists of:
Fluid-filled (glycol) mounts
with various built-in orifices
that regulate mount dampening.
By controlling which passages
the fluid travels through, the
dampening rate of the mount will
vary. Fluid is forced through the
different channels by the main
rubber element located on top of
the mount. The idle path and the
bounce fluid paths control mount
movement and dampening.
Vacuum controls a pair of
diaphragms within the mount,
which control fluid channeling.
Vacuum to the mount is turned on
or off to control fluid flow within
the mount. Each mount has two
vacuum ports: The port with the
larger opening in the mount body
is the bounce port; the port with
the smaller opening is the idle
port.
Solenoids control the vacuum
supply to the mounts. Two
solenoids are used: one controls
the bounce port while the other
controls the idle port. Both
solenoids are On/Off design,
which means the solenoid can
apply vacuum to the port or allow
atmospheric pressure to vent
the port. The solenoid electrical
connectors are part of the vacuum
system, so a vacuum leak in the
electrical connector can cause
problems with the mounts
operation.

Vacuum supply to each mount port will vary depending on the operating mode
Figure 2
A vacuum reservoir supplies

engine vacuum to the solenoids,
while vacuum lines, a filter, and
a check valve are used to connect
the system.
The FPCM (Fuel Pump Control
Module) is used on this application
to control the operation of the
vacuum solenoids.
The Cadillac vacuum mount system uses three operating modes:
1. Idle Vehicle speed less than
9 MPH (14 km/h); engine speed
above 300 RPM.
2. Drive-Away Vehicle speed
965 MPH (14105 km/h) or VSS
above 85 MPH (137 km/h). If a
fault is detected in the mount system, the control unit will default
to Drive-Away mode.
3. SRS (Smooth Ride Shake State)
Vehicle speed between 65-85
MPH (105137 km/h).
Vacuum supply to each mount port
will vary depending on the operating
mode: (see chart above)
Testing and Diagnosis
Diagnosis of the system is fairly

straightforward. Inspect the system for
any evidence of glycol in the lines or
other areas of the system. If glycol
is present, the mount is leaking and
must be replaced. Inspect the lines and
connectors for evidence of damage or
deterioration.
Your scan tool, vacuum gauge, and
a hand vacuum pump are the tools you
need to diagnose a vacuum-controlled
mount. The scan tool will allow you
to turn the solenoids on and off as part
of its output override functions. The

vacuum gauge will allow you to measure the vacuum available in different
parts of the system, while the hand
vacuum pump lets you test the system
and mounts for leaks.
If you decide to use the engines
vacuum supply, the engine will need
to be running. By monitoring the vacuum available at the mount ports with
your vacuum gauge, vacuum should be
available and then vented at the mount
or solenoid as you cycle the solenoids
on and off with your scan tool.
If the vacuum supply doesnt
appear to be working properly, you
can use your hand vacuum pump to
isolate the problem area. If vacuum
is available at the mount, you can use
your hand vacuum pump to check the
integrity of the mount.
On some vacuum mount systems,
you may be able to use a smoke machine
to locate leaks in the system. GM warns
against this practice: Theyre concerned
with over-pressurizing the system, as
it was designed to hold vacuum; not
pressure.
Well, as you can see, the vacuum
mounts that are coming into your shops
really arent that big a deal. A little
time, a little understanding, and some
basic equipment, and you can diagnose
just about anything that hits your door.
The only challenge here is to explain
to the customer why the mount costs
so much.
Until next time remember By failing to prepare, youre preparing to fail.

STREET SMART
Stop that
Dipstick!
O
nce upon a time, transmission maintenance included

periodically checking the
transmission fluid level by pulling a
metal dipstick from a tube alongside
the engine.
Well, those days are rapidly coming to an end. Most new vehicles are
doing away with transmission dipsticks
and easily accessible tubes for adding
fluid to your cars transmission.
Have you ever wondered why?
Was it the price of the stick and tube?
Was it to prevent you from taking care
of your car and forcing you to bring
it back to the dealer? A lot of people
think so.
Heres the real reason for the
change: vehicle owners can damage
transmissions by overfilling or using
the wrong fluid. How many times have
you heard this? I checked my transmission fluid and it was a quart low, so
I added a quart and now I have a leak.
Most backyard mechanics dont
realize that the difference between the
add mark to the full mark is only 1
pint. So, if you check the transmission
fluid when its cold, itll be at the add
mark; this is normal. If you recheck it
hot, itll read full.
But if you added a quart when
you checked it cold, the transmission
will be a quart overfilled. When the
transmission gets hot the level rises and

reaches the moving parts in the transmission. This aerates the oil, allowing
it to expand even more.
This is where the problem starts:
the expanded transmission fluid starts
blowing out the vent. If youre lucky,
all you end up with is a mess, but if the
fluid leaks onto the exhaust it can catch
fire! Just by adding too much transmission fluid.
Transmission fluid isnt a generic
item any more. Manufacturers are using
fluids with specific formulas to provide
the precise match for lubricating and
operating the internal components of
todays transmissions. Using the wrong
fluid can cause a variety of problems:
harsh shifts, slide-bumps, shudder during converter clutch lockup it can
even cause the transmission to fail long

before the cars warranty expires.
Manufacturers generally dont like
replacing transmissions under warranty.
Its expensive. But proving the owner
damaged the transmission and voided
the warranty by using the wrong fluid is
difficult and often more expensive than
replacing the transmission.
Thats why manufacturers are making it difficult to service transmissions:
to protect themselves. Theyre extending recommended service intervals and,
in some cases, are offering prepaid
maintenance when you buy a new car.
Lets take a look at whats involved
in servicing the transmission on a 2008

Fluid should dribble out the overflow tube.
If no fluid comes out, add fluid
through the refill hole until it
starts to dribble out the overflow
tube.
If fluid runs out, let it continue to
drain until its just a trickle.
Reinstall the overflow plug and
the refill plug.
Shut the engine off.
Remove the pin from the thermostat.
Make sure the thermostat shaft is
protruding from the hole of the
cap (figure 2).
Make sure theres no ATF leaking
from the cap hole.
Job complete! As you can see, this

is no job for the do-it-yourselfer.
Transmission fluids still break
down. Transmissions still develop leaks
and they still need to be serviced.
Failure to maintain a transmission
through routine service will shorten the

transmission life.
But from the manufacturers point
of view, a transmission that fails outside warranty isnt their problem. And
since most people who purchase new
cars dont keep them longer than five
years, they probably wont have to do
anything other than routine maintenance.
So what should you do?
Experienced mechanics change the
transmission fluid on their vehicles
every 40,000 to 50,000 miles. They
want their vehicles to last and they
understand the importance of maintenance.
If your customer plans on keeping
his car for 200,000 miles, recommend
that he allow you to change the transmission fluid level occasionally, and to
check the level between changes.
Its no longer a simple matter of
lifting the hood and pulling out the dipstick to check the fluid level on newer
style transmissions. Its an involved
process that demands the professionals
touch.
Thats where you come in. Fluid
level is still critical to your customers
and their cars. You have the equipment
and the know-how to perform those
checks reliably.
And thats not just smart thats
street smart!

Soap Operas
Arent Only on TV
by Thom Tschetter
p Your Business is an exclusive GEARS Magazine

feature in which Ill share
details about real customer disputes
that Ive helped settle through mediation and arbitration.
This is a story worthy of being
a script for a television soap opera.
Below are the details obtained from
statements by the parties and from an
expert witness.
The Details
1. The customer left her 2001 Chevy

S-10 with a 4L60E at a shop for a
diagnostic evaluation. The truck
had about 70,000 miles on the
odometer, and she claimed the
transmission had been serviced
at 50,000.
2. Her problem was no reverse. She

said she lost reverse when backing out of the garage that morning.
3. The road test revealed no reverse
engagement; there were no abnormal noises and it worked fine in
all forward ranges. The fluid was
clean, clear, and had no odor.
4. The service writer advised the
customer that the problem was
inside the transmission and that
the shops recommendation was
to rebuild the unit.
5. The price quoted was for a soft
parts overhaul, a torque converter,
and an allowance of up to $200
for hard parts, fluids, supplies,
and miscellaneous. It also included a 3 year, 36,000 mile warranty.
6. The customer authorized the job,

the work was completed within
the estimated price, and the customer picked up her truck two
days later.
So wheres the soap opera?
Well, as Paul Harvey used to say,
And now, the rest of the story.
Behind the Scenes
The service writer and the shop

owner were at odds over the recommendation, and, apparently, they often
exchanged words over other similar
situations.
The service writer believed that
certain types of damage on lower mileage units should be corrected by what
he called a point-of-failure repair. In
this case, he thought the shop should

have offered to replace the sun shell

and reseal the transmission to correct
the problem.
He was okay with offering the
rebuild as an alternative, but strongly
felt the shop should at least offer the
repair option. He argued that hed previously worked at a shop that did these
types of repairs and had fewer problems
than they did with rebuilds.
The shop owner countered that
there was too much risk in doing the
repair. His belief was, If anything goes

wrong with a unit after we work on it,
were going to get the blame and have
to take care of it, and we dont make
enough on the repair to cover the risk.
He justified his position with the fact
that the shop warranted the rebuild for 3
years or 36,000 miles, and the customer
did, in fact, get a rebuild.
A few weeks later, a similar dispute resulted in the shop owner firing
the service writer.
The Plot Thickens
Unbeknownst to the shop owner,

shortly after the job was done, the service writer began a romantic relationship with the 2001 Chevy S10s owner.
Youve probably already guessed
what happened next: The customer
filed a complain stating that the shop
performed unnecessary work on her
transmission. She was seeking a full
refund. The shop refused, stating that
the work was clearly needed as the

truck had no reverse and the problem

was internal. The parties ultimately
agreed to have the dispute arbitrated
through the BBB.
The arbitration process includes
written statements from both parties,
submission of supporting documentation, written affidavits from industry
experts, and notification that either
party may bring witnesses to testify at
the hearing.
At the hearing, when the service
writer (now boyfriend) walked in, it
was as though all the air was sucked out
of the room at least on the side where
the shop owner was seated. The shop
owner claimed he felt ambushed, but he
wanted the case heard and decided, so
the hearing proceeded.
The basic points 16, itemized earlier, were never disputed. However, the
behind-the-scenes details were offered
up and debated during the service writers testimony and cross-examination
by the shop owner.
They both stuck to their beliefs
neither of them budged or softened.
The shop owner finally threw up his
hands and stated, I rest my case!
This is why were here today. Ill go
with whatever the arbitrator decides.
(Actually a moot point, since the parties
signed a statement agreeing to abide
by the arbitrators decision before the
hearing began.) He was clearly frustrated and felt ambushed.
Three Questions
Here are three questions for you to

consider before I reveal the results of
this case.
1. Do you feel the shop did anything
wrong?
2. How do you feel about point-offailure repairs?
3. What would you have decided
if you were the arbitrator in this
case?
My Thoughts
This is a sensitive subject. There

are valid arguments to support both
sides of the issue. At the end of the day,
I believe that, while a shop owner has
the right to set the shops policy regarding point-of-failure repairs, I more fully
believe that complete disclosure rules
the day.
32
The Decision and

Reasons
In this case, I ruled in favor of the
shop for the following reasons, in no
particular order of importance:
This was more of a continuation of the philosophical dispute
between the shop owner and service writer than a legal dispute.
The fact that the customer and
fired service writer were romantically involved gave rise to possible conflict of interest and prejudicial testimony.
They both stuck

to their beliefs
neither of them
budged or softened.
The shop owner
finally threw up his
hands and stated,
I rest my case!
There was no evidence presented
that the work performed wasnt
needed. (If there had been, the
ruling would likely have been
different.)
There was no evidence presented
that the work wasnt performed.
(If there had been, again, the
ruling would likely have been
different.)
The shop performed the repairs it
agreed to at the agreed price.
What Can We Learn?
I chose this particular case because

it highlights a gray area that shops
frequently face. At my shops, we used
to call these types of repairs targeted
repairs. We performed hundreds of targeted repairs over the years with very
few complications.
Heres how we handled them.
1. We never offered a targeted repair
if there were any doubts as to
it providing a successful, lasting
repair.
2. When applicable, we fully disclosed that there were alternatives

to solving the problem.
3. We explained the pros and cons
of each alternative and, as appropriate, emphasized that the most
complete solution was a rebuild.
(It was amazing how many customers would choose the rebuild
even with a less-expensive alternative.)
4. We got top dollar for our targeted
repairs. We felt justified in charging for the value of our knowledge that the targeted repair could
resolve the problem.
5. We provided a warranty that
described the targeted repair and
clearly stated that it only covered
the parts and labor provided.
6. Our warranty stated that if the
repair failed or the transmission
developed other problems during
the first 90 days or 4000 miles,
wed apply 100% of the price paid
toward the subsequent repairs,
if performed at our shop. And,
after the initial warranty time and
mileage, we would apply 50% of
the price paid toward subsequent
work, if performed at our shop.
By following these steps, we controlled our financial exposure, and we
were able to retain lasting customer
relationships.
When it comes to gray area decisions, I like to apply one of my favorite quotes by Norman Vincent Peale:
Theres no right way to do a wrong
thing.

ence jumped up and started screaming.

No, he wasnt angry at me, but he sure
was angry because he had just finished spending over $200,000 yes,
you read that correctly! on Yellow
Pages print ads for his shops and towing business (figures 1 & 2).
Heres Whats Important
Studies show that the one device

most people carry around with them
and engage with at least 15 hours or
more a day is their mobile device.
Before we go on let me explain that a
mobile device can be a tablet like an
iPad or a smart phone like the Droid
or iPhone.
But you not only need to be able
to be found on mobile devices, you
also need to be easy to connect with.
All of these facts point to your need for

having a mobile web site that allows
customers to connect with you.
Google predicts that, this year,
searches for businesses on mobile
devices will overtake those on computers and desktops. That simply means
people will be searching on their
mobile phones for your business; its up
to you to make sure you can be found.
Whether you personally like that fact or
not doesnt matter.
Heres an example: Look at this
service stations web site before they
were mobile-optimized and after (figure 3).
Do you see the difference? Its
important to remember that, when consumers search for you on their mobile
devices, theyre looking to take an
Figure 3
action. In fact, over 80% of searches on

mobile devices are for local businesses
and often result in a visit or sale within
24 hours.
Customers can now just click a
button and the phone will dial the business.
They can schedule an appointment.
They can hit the address and it
will integrate with their mobile
navigator.
They can get coupons.
They can even refer a friend or
relative to your shop.
Is Anyone Really
Searching for Me?
These screen shots (Figures 4

and 5) are from a tool from Google that
Figure 4
36
1/7/14 2:08 PM
teckpak fitzall.indd 2
8/30/13 12:59 AM
allows you to see what terms people

are searching for, what devices they
are searching on, and how many people
each month are searching. This can
provide us with a very clear picture of
where we need to be found.
This shot was taken over a year
ago; at that time there were 3000
monthly searches for AUTO REPAIR
TAMPA on desktops and laptops, and
900 on mobile devices (phones and
tablets). The mobile number is growing
each and every day. In fact, as of today,
that number is over 1500.
That means half of all searches are
now on mobile devices and growing
larger daily.
Does This Work?

Why Should I Care?
Dont you hate it when a salesperson calls or visits you and promises
you the world? They have the cure for
your business problems and promise
to show you the best way to get new
customers fast.
Well its time to hold them accountable. The simple way to do this is
by knowing the ROI Return On
Investment. The best way to accomplish that is to track the number of
visitors youre getting to your ads, or in

this case your mobile web site.
More importantly, people searching on their mobile devices are buyers!
If you arent easy to get in touch with,
theyll simply go to your competitor.
Recent statistics tell us that 90%
of all web sites arent currently mobile
optimized. Is yours one of the 90%?
Some Simple Math
We know that searches are happening on mobile devices. We know that

people searching on mobile devices
tend to be action takers looking to connect and not just shoppers.
We know that this shop had 87
visitors. Finally, if this shops average
ticket is $300 per transaction and they
were only able to serve 10% of their
visitors, optimizing for mobile devices
would add $2500 to the shops bottom
line in just 30 days!
Contrast this with most Yellow
Pages or newspaper ads, radio, TV or
other marketing services, and you can
see the difference. Instead of just hoping the ad is working, you can be sure
whether the money youve invested is
producing a return or not.
Take a minute right now: Go to
your cell phone and type in your web
site address. Look for the link that
allows you to see what your customers see when they search for you on
their mobile devices. Are you easy to
connect to? If your answer is no, this
may be the one thing you can easily
fix and see an immediate return in new
business.

I Have A Dream,
Too for Your
Business
M
any years ago, the world was

inspired by Dr. Martin Luther
Kings I Have a Dream
speech. As I reflected on how powerful
that short message has been, it stimulated my own thinking about how the
business world, and specifically the
automotive aftermarket, could use a
new dream. Consider the following for
your own shop or enterprise.
I have a dream that someday there
will be a world where:
People always keep their word
and can be trusted.
Things are done right, the first
time.
Technicians and clerks follow
through to completion.
People dont leave things undone.
People say what they mean,
instead of what they think you
want to hear.
People are courteous and
respectful to each other.
Work is always completed on
time.
People show up on time.
People truly listen and pay
attention.
Managers genuinely do the right

Workers take care of their tools

People take pride in their work
and their behavior.
People apologize sincerely.
People admit their mistakes and
then make them right.

Do it right, the first time!

People say thank you when
they should.
Nobody tolerates bad behavior or
poor performance.
People keep accurate records.
People use language correctly.
I could go on, but I think you get
the point. Now imagine with me what
your world would be like if the above
were normal. If that were the case:
We wouldnt need locks. A servicerelated phone call would take 1/8 the
time it takes now. Files would be easy
to locate and theyd be accurate and
complete.
People would look forward to
working with each other. Customers
would want to come see you and they
wouldnt withhold information from
you nor try to trick you into lower pricing. Youd always know exactly where
you stand with everyone.
Do-overs wouldnt exist. Insurance
rates would drop profoundly. Extended
warranties would cost less and be less
likely to be needed. Tools and equipment would last longer without repair.
Sales would be easy and honest.
Inventory losses and pilferage would
no longer exist. Products would be
reliable and so would service. And you
wouldnt have to check to make sure
things got done correctly and on time.
The cost of a do-over isnt just
a small, marginal expense. It costs the
time, talent, and resources to do it the
first time and then costs the same

again for the re-do, plus the lost productivity and opportunity while you
were repeating the actions instead of
doing something new and valuable.
It also costs your reputation and
affects your feelings, and bad feelings
affect work quality and the attitudes of
others. Yikes! This is getting expensive.
A re-do costs many times more than
doing something once.
So when you see a sign that says,
Do it right, the first time! Take it
seriously as a way for you to help make
this world better for yourself and the
rest of us. I have a dream that this could
happen. Will you help make it true?
Whats the first thing youll do?
How about a quick all-hands staff
meeting to read and discuss this article?
Then make a list of the things everyone
and each one can do. Next, manage that
list until it becomes your new normal.
And lets work together to keep the
dream alive and build a better normal
for all of us: Send your ideas to GEARS
so we can share them with others.

North Texas Transmission;

Arlington, Texas;
A Family Tradition for over 34 Years
North Texas Transmission, and yes, thats AT&T Stadium in the background, home of the Dallas Cowboys.
lot of transmission shops are

family oriented: owned and
operated by several members
and even several generations of
the same family. This is often deliberate, to share the responsibility and
security of a family business.
Nowhere is this consideration for
family more evident than a shop in the
great state of Texas; north Texas, to be
specific. In fact, thats the name of the
shop: North Texas Transmission, in
Arlington, Texas.
The shops owner is Richard
Maddux; his wife, Sheila, handles the
office and provides customer service.
Their son, Dustin, is the shop manager.
And Richards father, Fred, helps out,

driving cars and running errands as

needed. Three generations all working
under one roof.
Of course, not everyone in the shop
is family. Theres Curtis Furguson, who,
according to Richard, is my right hand
man; hes been with me for 15 years.
He can do it all he has experience
with high end European cars, doing
electrical diagnosis and repairs.
Then to round out the shop, theres
J.T. Cox and Jesus Holguin, who handle the shops R&R work.
The History
Richard opened North Texas

Transmission in 1990; 23 years ago.
But their story begins even earlier:
Richards father owned a transmission shop Able Transmissions, in
Fort Worth, which he opened in 1979.
Unlike so many other guys whose dad
owned a shop, Richard never really got
involved in the business while he was
young.
I was going to take a year off
before going to college, but my Dad
said, Instead of sitting around, come
work for me for a year. Ill give you a
set of tools and teach you how to R&R
a transmission. At least youll learn
something you can use to earn a living.
That was 32 years ago.
Richard found his niche working
in the transmission repair business.
He continued working for his father.
Within a few months I was tearing
down units and cleaning parts; within
six months I was rebuilding 350s. I
was building maybe 10 transmissions
a week. He was still working there
when his father decided to sell Able
Transmissions in 1987.
Six months later I was offered a
job running a new shop in Arlington,
says Richard. I worked for that shop
for year. But the shop didnt meet his
expectations for integrity. So I took
$500 from my personal savings and put
a deposit on a building and opened my
own shop.
My new career as a shop owner
started with me working as many as
seven days a week, doing whatever
needed to be done pulling units
while lying on my back, rebuilding, and
so on. The location was great so I really
didnt need to advertise; work just came
in and we grew through word of mouth.
GEARS December 2013
Curtis Furguson has been with North Texas Transmission for 15 years.
Dustin, the shop manager, scanning for trouble codes.
After about three months I hired

my first employee. Thats when I realized that I still had a lot to learn about
running a business. I saw an advertisement for a management course;
between that and the subsequent ATRA
management seminars, we grew into a
successful business.
And were continuing to grow,
thanks to support from ESI, ProfitBoost,
and of course ATRA and its Whats
Working program.
In fact, a couple years ago they
moved into a new, larger building
from 2500 sq-ft to 5000 sq-ft about
a block from the old shops location.

The new shop is right near several
major Dallas stadiums, including the
Cowboys and the Rangers. Sometimes
they rent our parking lot for the games;
thats how close we are.
While Richard doesnt thing having the stadiums nearby had a direct
effect on his business, theres no doubt
that it brings more customers past his
shop. And they really cleaned up the
neighborhood when they built the new
stadium, he says. Its had a good
effect on Arlington, thats for sure!

North Texas Transmission
A birds eye view of inside North Texas Transmissions shop.
Business Model
While many shops today are

expanding into general repairs, North
Texas Transmissions remains a powertrain specialist: They service transmissions, transfer cases, differentials, and
axles. And they stay pretty busy most
of the time.
They usually rebuild their own
units, but they will use remans when
necessary. And these days theyre using
more remans than ever before. We
probably buy one or two remans every
month, Richard says.
When do they choose a reman?
When were backed up and need to
get the cars turned. We dont have the
luxury of having three or four rebuilders on hand, and its getting harder and
harder to find qualified help.
I know the arguments against
using remans, but when the work starts
backing up, you have to take care of the
customer. And remans can be a good
way to do that.
Where do they get their work?
I do transmission work for the nearby CarMax, including their warranty
work. Most of the rest of our work is
retail. We get a lot of referrals.
There are other transmission
shops within walking distance, but
48
I dont consider them competition. I

think we separate ourselves with our
commitment to honesty and integrity.
Thats what our shop is all about. Our
philosophy is that we never sell anything that doesnt need to be sold.
And when it comes to serving their
customers, Richard says that I take the
money out of consideration. If we dont
sell the job for the right price or theres
an issue with the repair, it doesnt
matter: We make sure the cars right,
regardless of the profit.
That philosophy seems to have
paid off pretty well: Weve been in
business for 23 years now, and in that
time Ive never had a Better Business
Bureau complaint and Ive never been
to court, he says proudly.
Im not saying we dont have
complaints; we do everyone does.
But Ive learned how to deal with
them how to make problems go
away. And its easier than fighting
about something we can fix. Thats how
we built our business.
In fact, they never even bothered to
advertise their shop until recently. My
son, Dustin, joined the shop about five
years ago, and since then weve started
to try to re-grow the shop. Before that
we never did any real advertising; it

was all word of mouth. The web site is
new www.ntxtransmission.com
and weve gotten onboard with ESI to
help build the business.
We have a FaceBook page, but
thats all were doing with social media
for right now.
Dustin went to Baylor University
where he earned a business degree.
Hes a scratch golfer, and its become
a running joke: I ask him what he
learned in college and he says how to
play golf!
But theres little doubt that
Dustins business degree is a valuable
asset for running a transmission shop.
Thats really the whole premise behind
the Whats Working program: teaching
shop owners to work on their business;
not in it.
Im glad hes here, because hes
really sharp on computers and he knows
cars. Hes done some R&R work and
repairs, but hes really focused on finding the information we need to fix cars.
Its amazing how good hes become.
To hear Richard tell it, the web site
is all the advertising they do. It took
a bit of coaxing to discover they also
serve their community when possible.
GEARS December 2013
1/7/14 3:16 PM
Were involved in the community,

through the Elks Lodge, the church, and
a nearby shelter for battered women.
We try to take care of their cars when
they have a problem; well get a call
that someone needs something, and
well take care of it.
What does he mean by take care?
He wasnt very forthcoming with that,
but when pressed it turns out that their
shop will often fix the cars without
charging anything at all. Funny how it
never seemed to occur to him that he
could consider that advertising. It was
just something they do; thats all.
Why ATRA?
North Texas Transmission became

an ATRA Member when Richard
opened the shop back in 1990. The reason? Great technical support.
There were no schools to go to
back then; technical information was
handed down from older, more experienced rebuilders.
But transmissions were beginning
to change, and the need for technical
support was growing daily. ATRA could
provide that support. And, according to
Richard, that support is still ATRAs
most valuable asset one they depend
on regularly.
What about the Golden Rule
Warranty? According to Richard, hes
only taken advantage of ATRAs warranty once; hes honored it more for
other shops than hes ever needed it
himself.
But he still considers ATRA membership a worthwhile investment, particularly for their training programs:
He usually tries to get to Expo and
takes a few of his staff. His technicians
go to the technical seminars while
he and Dustin attend the management
program. And he always tries to send at
least one or two guys to local seminars.
Free Time
No one wants to fix cars all the

time, and Richards no exception. He
likes to devote some of his free time to
his grandchildren: Richard and Sheilas
daughter, Crystal Delahoz, has two
daughters, Mia Grace, 7; and Ellie, 2.
And now theres a third grandchild: Dustin and his wife, Heather,
had a boy born last Friday (November
15)! says proud grandpa Richard. His

name is Holt.
So what else does Richard do when
hes not fixing cars? For one thing, he
and his father built a street rod out of
a 1940 Chevy coupe, and he has a 39
Chevy thats sitting here, waiting to be
built one day.
He also has a motorcycle a
1989 Harley that he and a friend
tore down to its frame and completely
rebuilt. He loves to take it on the road
whenever he has a chance.
We usually try to ride to Austin
once year (about 200 miles away). I
used to make the rallies, but I havent
had time for them in a while. We put
about a thousand miles or so on the
bikes every year.
And he holds a blue belt in

Brazilian ju jutsu. He studies under
Carlos Machato; an ex world masters
champion and a pioneer in Brazilian
ju jitsu in the U.S. So Richard may
not be the best person to mess with.
(Could that be why hes never had a
complaint?)
North Texas Transmissions a
family shop with a tradition of serving the public. Maybe its not surprising that theyre doing so well. Maybe
theyre just another example of whats
working in todays transmission repair
market.

I
really dont like New Years resolutions. If youre going to resolve

to do something then just do it; if
not, dont.
Having said that, I do believe that
the beginning of each year provides an
excellent opportunity to evaluate where
you are and where youd like to be,
both from a personal and professional
standpoint. In business, youre either
moving forward or falling behind:
theres no standing still.
So, whats your plan to keep your
business moving forward this year? I
hope it includes training.
I believe one of the biggest obstacles to success we face as an industry is
the failure to recognize the importance
of continual training, mainly from the
management side of the shop.
Thats not generally the case on the
technical issues, because technology is
forever changing: To be profitable, you
have to keep up with the latest fixes and
updates on the newer transmissions.
But training shouldnt be relegated
to just one aspect of your organization.
Technical training is important, but so
is management training.
Because its not whether you know
something; its how well you know it.
If you came up in this business
from the technical side, think back to
the first transmission you rebuilt successfully. Say you built a THM 350,
installed it, and it worked flawlessly.
From then on you considered yourself a rebuilder but how good of a
rebuilder were you back then?
To become a master at anything
takes time, experience, and focus on
what you seek to master. And yes, it
takes training continuous training in
50
1bland-Just Do It.indd 50
your field of expertise.

Its no different in the management
area of your business either. Personal
development, attitude, and sales skills
are all enhanced when you continually
hone each discipline to mastery.
The Pathway to Mastery

is Repetition
I believe theres no better management training in our industry than the

program we offer at our annual Expos.
World-class speakers, real-world topics, and like-minded attendees are just
part of what makes management training at Expo a must for shop owners and
their management teams.
The only problem with Expo is it
only happens once a year. Its been said
that you only retain and use about 15%
of the information you learn in classroom training. The audio files for each
session help, but only if you use them
on a regular and consistent basis.
For any training to have a real
impact it has to be internalized. That is,
it needs to be repeated, applied consistently, tested, and tracked.
Repetition is key.
At ATRA weve been looking for
a way to do just that, to create a virtual training system where shop owners
and managers could access world class
management training at the click of a
button 24/7, 365 days a year.
We found that such a system
already exists and it aligns perfectly
with what weve discovered in our
Whats Working study; namely the five
recurring traits of all successful shop
owners and how, with this training,
everyone can hone each of those traits
to a mastery level.

Our People
A&A Midwest: Your Comprehensive Resource

A&A Midwest is a comprehensive source for cores, recycling and auto wrecking services,
along with transmission hard parts and engine parts under our TransmissionQuest and
EngineQuest divisions. A&A Midwest has been family owned and operated since 1949 and
continues to be known for its outstanding customer service and high degree of integrity.
TransmissionQuest: Our Mission is Your Transmission
Bill Stolberg
President & COO
(800) 826-7403, Ext. 302
wds@aamidwest.com
A&A Midwest launched TransmissionQuest (TQ) in 2011 with a full-line of thoroughly

inspected transmission hard parts. Coverage includes domestic, import, CVT/hybrid,
6-speed, ZF, Mercedes, Aisin Warner, Honda, Acura and many other hard-to-find, late-model
applications. TQ offers a complete teardown and inspection of internal hard parts to ensure
that every component is rebuildable. This is backed by TQs sister company, A&A Midwest
Cores, with over 25,000 automatic and standard transmission and transfer case cores in stock.
A&A Midwest Cores

A&A Midwest Cores is a leading core supplier to transmission and engine remanufacturers,
providing expertise to customers on whether new, remanufactured or reclaimed will work
best for the transmission or engine project they are working on.
Salvage, Scrap Metal and More!

In addition to its TQ division and cores business, A&A Midwest (formerly AAEQ), operates
A&A Midwest Auto Wrecking, a major automotive salvage business in Blue Island, Ill. that
dismantles vehicles and exports complete engine, drive train systems and body components
to developing countries. A&A Midwests engine parts division, EngineQuest (EQ), stocks
hard-to-find new, remanufactured and reclaimed engine parts, specializing in stock and
performance cylinder heads. From our Las Vegas headquarters, A&A Midwest Recycling pays
top dollar for scrap metal.
The Proper Handling of Cores

A&A Midwest has learned through experience that the proper handling of automotive
cores, particularly transmissions and engines, must be done carefully to ensure their future
usefulness. The goal of A&A Midwest is to provide customers with the cleanest, usable parts.
A&A Midwest takes special care in accepting, handling, processing, storing and shipping
engine and transmission cores and their components.

Domestic and Foreign Torque Converters
Consolidated Vehicle Converters (CVC) offers a complete line of
torque converters for domestic and foreign vehicles including
industrial, heavy duty and racing applications. Allison relined
dampers also available.
Company Profile
CVC, a family owned and operated entity, was formed through
a clear understanding of our customers needs and expectations.
Our commitment to good, old-fashioned quality and service has
been and continues to be our sole operating philosophy.
Our company provides customers with the highest quality
torque converters on the market today. We have incorporated
many unique engineering advancements into our rebuilding
processes, therefore ensuring the longevity of our units. This
allows us to eliminate several OE design deficiencies. Most
recently, we purchased a second state-of-the-art sand blasting
system that provides us with the ability to preserve the integrity
and original design of most OE components. Additionally, we
recently updated or replaced all of our Hines computerized
balancers and we are awaiting delivery of an Ultra HighSpeed/High Accuracy Laser Displacement Sensor which will be
employed to check Impeller Hub dimensions and/or wear.
CVC is also firmly committed to employee training and
manufacturing process improvements. These quality programs
assure our customers of high level converter output, all the time,
every time.
Our Distributors
We are pleased, proud and fortunate to be represented by a
group of distributors who are clearly the most knowledgeable
professionals in the industry.

Serious Towing and Hauling Demands

a
Engineered Solution
Profile
Loved by Driver's Ed instructors worldwide, Gearbox Group
produces the parts that are making manual transmissions
obsolete. Whether car or SUV, tractor or dump truck, bus or
cement mixer, if it has an automated or synchronized
transmission, you can bet Gearbox Group was responsible for the
missing pedal. Under the Raybestos, Steel Parts and Allomatic
brands, Gearbox designs, manufactures and distributes a
diversified portfolio of transmission, wet brake and steering
componenets, with a focus on friction and reaction clutch plates
that facilitate automated gear changes. Gearbox Group is a
market leader known for innovation, quality and reliability that
supplies the world's foremost aftermarket distributors, automotive
OEMs, Tier I Auto and industrial suppliers and heavy-duty
transmission manufacturers. The Gearbox team is building a
leading platform in the automated trasmission and wet braking
niche.
History
On March 5, 2012, Monomoy Capital Partners, L.P., a New York
private equity fund focused on value investment and business
improvement, acquired the stock of Raybestos Powertrain, LLC and
combined them with Steel Parts Manufacturing, Inc. to form a global
growing transmission component platform. The combined business
goes to market under the Raybestos, Allomatic and Steel Parts brand
names, but Gearbox is the corporate name under which these brands
reside.
Product Lines
The combination of Raybestos Powertrain, Allomatic and Steel Parts,
has created a leading supplier to automotive and heavy-duty vehicle
customers in both the aftermarket and OEM channels. Complementing
Raybestos friction clutch plates, Steel Parts manufactures the mating
non-friction clutch plates for OEM transmissions and provides highvolume stamping and value-added processing capabilities to the
platform. Gearbox Group manufactures and/or supplies OE
transmission friction clutch plates; flex, semi-rigid and ridgid bands;
steel reaction plates; torque converter friction material, plates and
products; transmission sump, valve body and cooler in-line filters;
and various service items for domestic and foreign transmissions.

the Aordable solution to

Your Valve body Problems
About us Valve Body Xpress was
born as an idea over a dining room
table more than 10 years ago. As
owners of a transmission shop,
we knew all too well the choice
transmission shops were forced to

make: Do we buy expensive new
valve bodies from a dealer or take
a gamble on used valve bodies
from a junkyard? The first option
was too expensive, and the second
just too risky. So it became our
goal to offer transmission shops
an alternative a remanufactured
valve body that cost much less
than one from a dealer and was
guaranteed to work.
And so VBX became the first
company dedicated exclusively
to providing the industry with an
affordable, alternative, guaranteed
valve body product. Today VBX
features a fully staffed research
and development center, with a
customer support team that is

second to none. Our entire staff
is fully committed to solving our
customers valve body needs
professionally, expertly, and costefficiently. We are ATSG members
and ATRA supplier members.
About our Products At VBX,
we remanufacture valve bodies.
Thats all we do, and weve been
doing it since 2002, so were very
good at it. Take a look for yourself.
Our extensive product catalog
written in laymens terms
is available on our website,
www.vbxus.com.
Our remanufactured valve bodies

are individually tested and
calibrated to ensure peak
performance. All solenoids are
either new OEM or individually
tested for integrity and efficiency.
In addition to multiple industry

updates and Precision gaskets,

we use our own exclusive VBXtra
updates to guarantee that our

highest quality product.

Ewell Dickerson, April 16, 1940November 15, 2013

Ewell Dickerson, owner of Dunn
Transmissions in Tyler, Texas, passed
away November 15, 2013, after a
lengthy illness. He was a longtime
ATRA Member; one of the first shop
owners to join the newly incorporated
Association. Over the years he served
on ATRAs board of directors and was a
past president of the Association.
But that simple description doesnt
begin to cover who Ewell was as a person. GEARS Managing Editor Rodger
Bland probably put it as succinctly as
possible: He was the epitome of the
ATRA Good-guy. And theres little
doubt that he lived his life as a good
and decent man, who devoted his life
to helping others.
An active member of the Marvin
United Methodist Church, Ewell took
a leadership role in Marvin Menders; a
missions group dedicated to providing
home repairs and construction for those
in need. He looked forward to Marvins
annual mission week every year, and
delighted in teaching others how to
build and repair.
Theresa Hawkins is the office
and financial manager for Dunn
Transmissions, and a member of the
Dickerson family. She knew Ewell
forever, and worked with him in
the Marvins Menders program. She
remembers how accepting he was to
work with women in the program.
He was meticulous in his work,
says Theresa. He measured to the nth;
he wanted things to fit perfectly. And
he was always excited to work with
new people to teach. I learned how to
measure from him. And when he passed
away, I asked for his measuring tape,
because it meant a lot to me.
Ewell was also active in the
Masonic Lodge and was a member of
the Rose Festival Strutters; a group of
volunteers who help plan and implement the Tyler Rose Festival every year.
And he was a member of Civitan; an
110
1PINS 114 jeantt.indd 110
association of local civic groups dedicated to helping people in their own

communities.
Heres what ATRA CEO Dennis
Madden had to say about Ewell: I first
met Ewell in 1990; Id see him regularly when we did seminars in the Dallas
area. He was one of the nicest, kindest,
most gentle men Id ever met a very
giving person who never expected anything in return.
He always knew your name,
greeted you with a warm smile and a
handshake he took a personal interest
in the people he met. Hell be missed.
Ewell is survived by Sue, his wife
of 54 years; daughter Donna Phillips
(Clint); daughter Diane Hawkins
(Terry); and son David (Stacy); five
grandchildren: Melissa Lee (Chris),
Nicole Collins (Joel), James Phillips,
Mia and Anna Dickerson; and four

great-granddaughters: Ryan, Reagan,
Amelia Lee, and Elenore Collins; as
well as many brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews.
Ewell retired several years ago;
Dunn Transmissions is still operating
under the supervision Ewells nephew,
General Manager Roscoe Dickerson.
And it still operates under the philosophy of honesty and integrity that Ewell
lived by.
Even after retirement Ewell would
come to ATRAs EXPO to see old
friends and make new ones. Many
people still have the small Yellow Rose
of Texas he would hand out to friends
at the show for their EXPO memento
collection.
And thats a legacy that any of us
would be proud to leave behind.
