Friday, October 16th, 2009JASPER Conducts Transmission Submersion Testing
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009
Have you ever had one of those pesky leaks on a transmission that you just can’t seem to find? Jasper Engines & Transmissions has created a transmission submersion test to check assembled units for leaks before they are dynamometer tested.
“This procedure was initially developed to check JASPER transmissions for the United States Postal Service,” said Craig Leuck, JASPER Transmission Division Manager. “We developed an internal linkage system for their transmissions and needed a way to check these units for leaks.”
When the remanufactured transmission is assembled, Associates seal off all external ports and seals, then inject five pounds of air through the dipstick hole of the transmission. The unit is then submerged in a large tank of water and the Associate checks for air bubbles escaping from the transmission. Units will not be dynamometer tested until they pass this crucial test.
“We’ve found this to be a great way of improving the quality of our transmissions to the customer,” says Leuck. “If five pounds of air can detect an external leak, we can eliminate the chance of transmission fluid finding the same leak.”
JASPER currently dunk tests rear wheel-drive Ford & Chrysler transmissions, along with front wheel-drive GM, the 4L80E and 700R4 postal transmissions. Added Leuck, “The goal is to have the ability to dunk test all light-duty transmissions.”

JASPER Adds Authentic Touch to Custom Engine & Transmission Remanufacturing
Friday, July 24th, 2009Jasper Engines & Transmissions has a remanufacturing program geared toward customers with a restoration project, or looking for something extra when they get their engine or transmission remanufactured.
In addition to its current product line, the JASPER Authentic Custom Drivetrains division specializes in remanufacturing engines and transmissions that are currently no longer offered, or have been turned away in the past because they did not fit into a production remanufacturing system.
“If you look at the popularity of television shows that highlight vehicle restoration, there’s a huge market of people out there restoring the older model vehicle they have setting in their garage,” says Alex Ernst, JASPER Authentic Group Leader. “One type of client that would benefit from our division, for instance, is the individual restoring a ‘69 Corvette that is wanting his or her serial numbers to match, and wants their engine to be hand-built by experienced professionals.”
“With JASPER Authentic Custom Drivetrains, we spend extra time remanufacturing an engine,” Ernst added. “We give the customer that hands-on, hand-built treatment that our target customer base is looking for.”
In addition, JASPER Authentic Custom Drivetrains provides some extras for the enthusiast. “Customers can opt to have their engine dynamometer tested in addition to the live-run test we perform on most applications,” said Ernst. “And we can provide the customer with documentation of the remanufacturing process. With a login name and password, they will be able to go to our web site and check the daily progress of their engine or transmission.”
The JASPER Authentic Custom Drivetrains also provides a binder and CD with pictures & specifications so the customer can archive for their own records or use it to authenticate their unit as they show their vehicle.”
