Automatic Transmission Test Unit HT-2000

Test equipment for the Automatic industry has advanced significantly in recent years, and since modern vehicles are fully electronic and complex systems, we use only the latest diagnostic equipment. See below some tools and modification undertaken by Signature Transmissions.

Automatic Transmission Test Unit HT-2000 The portable Hydra-Test HT-2000 unit allows the operator to test the hydraulic integrity of the individual components in the automatic transmission unit. With a simple connection, clutch and band operation can be diagnosed.

Bench testing the transmission unit can save valuable time by reducing unnecessary installation and removal of the automatic gearbox from the vehicle. A test plate is attached to the transmission. Then using the flow meter, the operator performs a test to indicate the amount of leakage at the piston or servo seals. A pass/fail condition can be determined.

Modifying & improving Valve body performance

Sonnax Zip Kits address the root cause of transmission failure by sealing critical pressure losses in the valve body.

These kits utilise uniquely designed parts to restore hydraulic pressure often lost due to worn components.

At Signature, 80% of rebuilds include Zip Kits or oversized valves to combat the abrasive wear caused by debris particles.

Technicians use specialised air decay testers and vacuum testing to verify bore tolerances and solenoid seat conditions.

These diagnostic methods provide precise data to ensure every valve body is restored to peak performance.

What customers say about STL...

Rated 5 out of 5

I found the STL team including Martin and Simon to be very professional and informative. Having just brought a car with what i thought was a noisy wheel bearing they soon diagnosed a rear diff issue. Within 2 days they had the car in, fixed and returned to me. I would recommend STL for their service and expert knowledge which i have found second to non. Many thanks guys.

Rated 5 out of 5

Very impressed with the service. Vehicle came back immaculate, hand washed as well, so no scratches from cheap car washes. Good turn around time considering some parts came from the states.

Vehicle had been in with two other garages (so called specialists) that couldn't fault the vehicle. Signature said they might need the vehicle for a few days to get the fault to occur. it did once, but knew what the fault would be instantly. Fine job Lads Thank you!! Definitely recommend.
