OVERVIEW

The core criteria below have been redesigned to be more user-friendly to our customers: in normal circumstances, we have eliminated internal charge backs for all on-highway models! We believe that this will allow you to conduct your business more proficiently and allow you to provide faster service to your customers or to your own fleet. Should you have any questions, please contact us for help.

 

CORE INTEGRITY

         Cores must not have been previously disassembled. Cores that have been disassembled will be subject to an evaluation fee of 10% of the original core charge. Missing/damaged parts will be charged.

         All transmission components must be present (e.g. torque converter, housings, retarder, output shaft, oil pan/control module, etc.). Missing components will be charged.

         Both input and output must be free turning (not freewheeling). Cores that are not free turning or cores that are freewheeling will be subject to internal evaluation and charges.

 

CORE VINTAGE

         Transmissions are exchanged on a like for like basis. Cores that do not match the components (physical, hydraulic, and electronic) of the original purchased transmission will be subject to charges up to the full core charge.

 

EXTERNAL INSPECTION

         All cores must be drained of fluids and plugged to prevent leakage.

         Close visual inspection of all the external housings will be conducted. The visual inspection will include all: housings, oil pan/control module, threaded ports/holes, mounting surfaces and the like. Broken, cracked, crushed, corroded, etc. housings and components will be charged.

         Damage from freight will be the responsibility of the shipper.

         All support/ancillary equipment and packaging must be removed. We assume no responsibility for parts such as brackets, fittings, flanges/yokes, p.t.o.s, studs, solenoids, shift levers, etc. left on cores. Failure to remove such equipment will result in a labor charge.

 

V SERIES CORES

         All V-drive transmissions with damaged bevel gears, flywheel, right angle drive, and/or case damage are considered non-rebuildable cores and will receive no credit. The customer may supply another core or good replacements for the damaged parts in order to have core credit consideration.

 

OFF HIGHWAY CORES

         All transmissions designated off highway must undergo a fully disassembled inspection.

         All shafts, housings, and updates are not considered in standard overhaul price and will be charged if they do not meet our quality standards.

         Flywheel damage on 5000/6000 series transmissions with remote front drive is unacceptable for full core credit. Flywheel replacement cost will be charged.

 

OTHER

         We reserve the right to refuse any core that does not meet the criteria described previously or for any other reason is not in the best interest of our company.

         A customer request for tear down report that does not involve warranty will result in a fee to the customer for this service.

         All cores received that do not meet our core criteria may be eligible for partial credit and/or at the request of the customer: disposed to scrap or returned (disassembled) at customer’s expense.

         Cores must be returned within 90 days to receive full core credit consideration.

         Customers who ship cores freight collect will have those charges billed back to them unless prior arrangements have been made with our personnel to accommodate incoming freight.
