Transmission Digest last visited
BorgWarner’s Transmission Aftermarket
Team. In February, in a Chicago-area suburb,
that aftermarket team hosted a visit both to the
Addison Distribution Center and the
BorgWarner Bellwood Manufacturing facility.
While those facilities are most familiar to read-
ers of Transmission Digest, they are part of a
larger and global BorgWarner operation that
encompasses 58 locations in 19 countries.

Diagnostics/Testing 2
Ever since electrical components arrived on
the scene, the ability to test them has, at times,
been a challenge, including transmission stuff.
Simple solenoids, sensors and pressure switches
were no big thing to test. Take a little bit of volt-
age/current, add in a ground and combine it
with air pressure and voilà, test completed.
As components became more complex, such
as PWM or linear solenoids, so did the ability to
test them. Pulse electrical signals and special
body manifolds for air passages became the
norm. Changes, however, were hard to keep up
with.
Mechatronics has added yet another wrinkle
on certain applications due to solenoids and sen-
sors being incorporated into the same frame-
work with the TCM, such as GM. The 6L80 and
6T40/6T70 TEHCM units are made to limit ac-
3
cessibility of the components. There is hope
though. Kent-Moore (Bosch) developed a testing
kit that contains a solenoid plate with air fittings,
gauge and harness which connect to the vehicle’s
system and TEHCM (Figure 2). Using the vehi-
cle, TCM and solenoid functions can be per-
formed. Kent-Moore also has a signal generator
to simulate input/output speed signals if needed
(Figure 3). It beats spending over $500 needless-
ly for a replacement. There are three solenoid
testing kits in addition to a signal generator:
DT-47825 6L80
DT-47825-100 6T70 (same plate –

different cable)
DT-48616 6T40
J-38522 Various (signal generator)

Over the years, vehicle-system testing has
been accomplished with hand-held Scanners
such as the Snap-On Scanner and Vetronix
(Bosch) Tech II as well as others. Due to the
changing systems and protocols, especially CAN
and global architectures, it is increasingly diffi-
cult for tester companies to respond, which is
why diagnosis/testing is going web based.
Mechatronic transmissions pose even a greater
challenge with the internal TCM being a road
block to simple procedures. Experts in the diag-
nostic-equipment field have been working on
this issue for some time now and one such com-
pany is Blue Reach Automation. Side stepping

your pricing is right? Are you los-

mentioned, all I can do is tell you
how I do it. I’m sure the other nine

but we will proceed without them
anyway.
When I first enter a shop and
before I start selling, I like to look
at past individual sales amounts
for the past year to get an under-
standing of the previous pricing
policy. The next step is to find out
what the market will bear in that
area. When I get into the shop and
start selling, I make a list of trans-
mission types. I call the dealership
on each transmission type as they
come in and get a price before I
work up my cost. The dealerships
will set what the market will bear
in any area I am working in.
Within a month or two, I have the
list up to date with the most com-

lately the main cause I have been finding is in the vehi-

The protective OEM harness sheath is often deterio-
rated, and/or missing. The exposed wires typically dis-
play crumbling insulation that is flaking off of the
copper wire. This usually happens right at the case
connector itself, and extends several inches above it.
Various circuits then short together as hard codes, or
intermittent codes if they don’t make solid connection

rebuilding transmissions, there’s little
time to stop and ponder things. When it’s
time to put an automatic unit on the bench to
give it new life, most call their specialty

Transmission kits are at the center of the spe-

powertrain aftermarket as a distinct seg-
ment. The complexity of kits that must be
updated with each component change OE
engineers make to a transmission is a spe-
cialty.
In our annual surveys, we’ve found that
shops make purchasing decisions based on
kit preferences. In other words, it often is the
base overhaul kit (along with preferences for
frictions) that determines which area distrib-

Beyond the E-zee shift technolo-

more sophisticated software to help
with Mechatronic applications,
which is why BlueReach released the

One eMail Only
Once Every Month
Companies often release two, three or even a half-dozen
new kits, parts or tools in a single month. Even with the
magazine’s expanded Powertrain Products section,
we often are behind by a month or two.
The free e-Powertrain Products bulletin comes
in addition to your monthly Transmission Digest magazine.
Email subscribers to the e-Powertrain Products service
receive one (and only one) eMail a month with
expanded coverage of the latest products to be released.
Nearly all of these products will eventually appear in the
magazine, but when you need to find a new aftermarket
gear set for a rebuild that’s in the shop, it’s better to
know today rather than next month.

TECH/TALK READERS KNOW THE ANSWERS ALREADY!
Timely
Transmission Tech/Talk delivers answers and updates
for an unending variety of transmission systems.
Answers for the units you’re just starting to see and
updates for transmissions that you’ve been seeing
for years. Hydraulics, electronics, mechatronics and
more.
Concise
Transmission Tech/Talk is not a textbook nor a ram-
bling collection of long-winded articles. Tech/Talk is
for transmission professionals who need current
information that doesn’t take all day to read. The
“Complaint - Cause - Correction” format has made
Tech/Talk a favorite of the transmission repair pro-
fessional for many years.
Affordable
Transmission Tech/Talk newsletter is an unbelievable
bargain. There’s nothing else to purchase and no
membership required. Sign up today and begin
receiving eight fact-filled pages every month for just
$89 in the U.S. (slightly higher for non-domestic
