Editorial

I
share a bit of news with you
this month that troubles me
greatly. This magazine’s long-
time editor, Gary Sifford, is suffer-
ing health issues. He left the
company to concentrate on those
issues late last year. While we ex-
pect to name a replacement for him
in the next few weeks, we know
that his shoes are not easily filled.
Gary Sifford
A couple of glaring errors that
Gary would have caught in a sec-
ond were made in this column last
month. In discussing the passing of
Eugene Johnston, there was a sen-
tence where his last name was mis-
spelled and in which his twin
brother, Brian, was identified as Gary Sifford
Brain. My apologies to the Editor

 A higher level.

That’s what you get with Ford gas engines

and transmissions.
A higher build level means you’re getting engine and transmission assemblies built to the exacting specifications of
Ford Motor Company. So you not only get the quality build you expect in an assembly from Ford, but also one that’s built
by using parts that keep it specific to year, make and model as well as emissions calibrations.

3-Year/Unlimited-Mile Warranty – No Commercial Exceptions

Ford gasoline engines and transmissions are covered by a three-year/unlimited-mile warranty.* All warranties are backed
by Ford Motor Company. They’re also supported by more than 3,000 Ford and Lincoln Dealerships nationwide as well as
at their originating place of service.

Plus, unlike some competitors, this warranty is good for fleet vehicles. That means you get the same advantages
and coverage for commercial use, no exceptions.

For technical questions, contact the Ford Powertrain Assistance Center at 1-800-392-7946 or visit FordParts.com.
*See dealer for limited-warranty details. Remanufactured diesel engines are covered by a two-year/unlimited-mile warranty.

aftermarket in presenting a true
buyer’s guide that includes prod-
uct categories cross-referenced to
the companies that supply them.
An automatic transmission is
more complex than an alternator
so there’s a lot of detail to cover.
The cross-referenced listings span
40 broad categories and total 400
individual products. This list con-
tinues to grow each year. As has
been the case for 30 years, the
Transmission Digest Buyer’s Guide
remains the definitive powertrain
industry guide.
We have made the effort to in-
sure that the information con-
tained within this issue is both
current and accurate. We have in-
formation on roughly twice as
many companies as are published
here; however, without current
confirmation of that information,
we don’t feel comfortable publish-
ing it. Those companies that do not
respond to our request for confir-
mation or updating of information
were not included.
In rare instances we will report
on a company for which we have
less than full, current year infor-
mation. All of the information
reported is no older than about
12 months. Any information not
confirmed/updated in the past
90 days has been noted with the
asterisk symbol (*) as well.
All of us at Transmission Digest
are proud to have created this
Guide and the companion Industry
Directory, a supplier address,
e-mail and phone book for finding
supply sources in the powertrain
aftermarket.
The companion directory con-
tains several pages summarizing
the results of our annual survey of
readers. The charts and graphs
present a snapshot of certain
trends and habits with regards to
shops. Sometimes, however, it is
good to look beyond the raw num-

bers and allow for the emergence
of long-term trends.
We all realize that there has
been a monumental shift in the
business since we first published
our survey results in 1985. At that
point in time there were shops so
busy that they accepted only do-
mestic automatic units; OE war-
ranties were blissfully short and
credit and financing were details
handled at the bank.
Today’s shop that subscribes to
Transmission Digest for all intents is
a general repair facility that is dif-
ferentiated from the general repair
shops in its neighborhood in only
two or three specific, yet important
ways. There is at that shop the ex-
pertise to correctly diagnose pow-
ertrain complaints; there is the
ability to address those complaints
via rebuilding or installing and
there is knowledge of where to ac-
quire the parts and supplies need-
ed for a successful job. It is our
goal that this annual issue to be-
come an important part of that
knowledge.
Acknowledging all the digital,
CANBUS, 10-speed, hybrid, DCT
evolution of technology, we re-
main the industry we have always
been. We’re the people who, from
parts manufacturers to part-time
R&R technicians, return a working
vehicle to a driver day in and day
out. It’s the powertrain industry
and we continue to love it.
Finally, we can share a smile
with our readers. We received this
photo from Eric at Best Buy
Transmission in San Rafael, Calif.
The guys in that shop have certain-
ly gone creative with the fabrica-
tion of the combination magazine
rack and toilet paper holder. We
surmise from Eric’s note that the
magazine is placed where it is be-
cause everybody in the shop
spends time reading it and that its
placement is not a comment on the
quality of the magazine’s content
nor of MOPAR’s Lou Mancini, a
true gentleman and technical
scholar who appears on its cover.
Speaking of MOPAR and its
parent company, another name
change has taken place there. Fiat
Chrysler Automobiles is now the
official moniker for what we’ve
been calling Chrysler Group, LLC.

TECHNICAL TRAINING Technically Speaking

• Author: Mike Riley, Technical Editor

• Subject Matter: O.D. Sun Gear Design

• Unit: E4OD/5R110W

(Avoid a Square Peg in a Round Hole)

W
ho knew back in 1989 when 1
the E4OD was launched E4OD/4R100/5R110W
what the time-frame foot-
print would be or how many changes
would occur, let alone that it would
grow into a five-speed automatic?
For the repair industry, the big
RWD family of transmissions has
been pretty profitable due to failures,
but at times somewhat troublesome
due to rebuilding issues and compo-
nent upgrades. Some upgrades have
been fairly straightforward and inex-
pensive while others were more com-
plex and costly. The four-speeds
certainly had modifications and up- O.D. sun gear
grades; however, those models pale Coast clutch drum
in comparison to the five-speeds.
Although basic architecture is the
same between four- and five-speed
units, component interchangeability is 2 E4OD 5R110W 5R110W
limited between the models. One small E4OD 4R100 03-06 07-up
item did migrate over to the five-speed
transmission, although with a couple
of tweaks beyond the E4OD.
The E4OD, 4R100 and 5R110W OD
(overdrive) sun gear has always been
attached to the coast clutch drum, ei-
ther by a spline slip-fit or press-fit de-
sign (Figure 1).
The first design OD sun gear that
went into the 1989 E4OD had teeth
that were the same diameter and style
from one end of the gear to the other.
The gear included a rounded backup snap ring for 3 E4OD
positioning in the coast drum as well as a bore bush- 4R100 5R110W
ing for support on the input shaft. The gear was a
slip-fit into the drum. The coast drum was cast iron.
By 1998, Ford decided to give the E4OD a facelift
by releasing the 4R100. Although some changes did
occur to the E4OD, the 4R100 consisted of several
upgrades that would not interchange with the earli-
er models. One change was to the coast clutch drum,
which was no longer cast iron, but steel (GROB). In
addition to the material change was the OD sun-gear

spline design. The bore of the drum was changed as 4

was the sun-gear tooth design. The area of the teeth OWC splines
that mesh with the drum were more blunt than on
the E4OD sun gear, creating a step in the gear. The
new design was a press-fit as well.
Ford designed the new sun to work with both
cast and steel drums. The E4OD sun gear (part
#E9TZ-7D063B) became NLA and was superseded
by the 4R100 gear (part #F81Z-7D063AA). When
using the new gear in a steel drum, merely press it
in. When using the gear in a cast drum however, a
square-cut snap ring must also be used for back-up.
Including 5R110W models, there are now four
types of OD sun gears (Figure 2). The cast drum
E4OD coast drum
sun-gear is on the left with uniform teeth and a
rounded snap-ring. Next to that gear is the combo
cast/steel drum design with blunt teeth and
square-cut snap ring to use with a cast drum type.
5 OWC inner race
The two gears on the right are the 03-06 and 07-up
5R110W sun gears.
Due to pump and coast drum design changes,
the 03-06 5R110W sun gear is slightly different from
the 4R100 gear. The coast drum bushing position is
different on 5R110W models than E4OD/4R100 and
the sun gear no longer uses a bushing. The bore of
the gear was reduced accordingly (Figure 3). The
early 5R110W gear (part #3C3Z-7D063AA) is also
NLA due to design changes in 2007. An entire up-
date package now is available to retro to 2003. If a
gear is needed for 03-06, the 4R100 gear can be used
by removing the bushing.
The 2007 upgrade involves the entire overdrive 4R100 coast drum
planet set and coast clutch assembly, including the
sun-gear tooth count. Previous sun gears had 38
teeth whereas 2007-up gears have 41. In addition, 6 Diode design
there is a slight diameter difference between the
types (approximately .025). Ensure that you choose
the correct gear before pressing into the drum or
damage will occur. The 41-tooth gear part number
is 7C3Z-7D063C.
All coast clutch drums contained the overdrive
OWC (One Way Clutch) rather than a sprag, roller
clutch or diode. The E4OD cast drum had inner race
splines for the entire OWC assembly (Figure 4). The
sun gear fit cannot be too tight or the cast drum
could crack.
In addition to the 4R100 drum being steel, the
OWC design was also changed so that the inner
race is now part of the drum (Figure 5). The modifi- 5R110W coast drum
cation also meant that the sun gear can have a high-
er press fit.
The 5R110W coast clutch drum has undergone sev- previous 38 splines so always count the splines before
eral changes and is much different from E4OD/4R100 interchanging. The 2007-up drum may have gas or
drums. The OWC is a mechanical diode which has diesel stamped into the front of the drum. The drums

Transmission Digest
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
subscribers).

Tr a n s m i s s i o n
Special Offer

B USINESS TRAINING It’s Your Business
•Author: Terry Greenhut, Business Editor
•Subject Matter: Management
•Issue: Reading For Retirement
THE MOVE FROM
M
oving is never easy, espe-
cially when it’s halfway
across the country to a
place you’ve only visited a couple
of times. Uprooting your family
and changing your lifestyle from
one that you’ve known for most or
all of your life can be traumatizing.
I’ve always prided myself in being
adaptable and I’m sure I’ll get used
to my new surroundings quickly
but that wasn’t nearly my biggest
problem with this move.
A little background: For years I
had been telling my wife that I
wanted to move south when we
eventually retired or backed off
our busy work schedule, but
whenever I mentioned Florida she
said, “No way would I ever live
there. It’s way too hot and humid.”
Then a few years ago, our one and
only daughter married a boy from
the Tampa Bay area and last year
had a baby. Ever since it has been
my wife’s mission to get us moved
to Florida.
Is moving to Florida a bad
thing? Not at all when you consid-
er that the cost of living is so much
lower and the winters are so much
warmer – especially after putting
in 25 of those winters standing at a
workbench on a cold concrete floor
rebuilding transmissions when the
temperature outside was below
freezing and inside wasn’t much
warmer. It’s just that it’s all new.
The prospect of leaving behind
everything that you’re familiar
with – the friends you may never
see again, your favorite places to
March 2015
eat and shop, the good doctors it
has taken you years to find and of
course, your favorite golf courses –
is daunting. Sure, you can and will
find replacements for most of those
things but it will take a while.
Being in the transmission busi-
ness you know that things just
don’t usually go exactly according
to plan and this move was no ex-
ception. As time went by it just be-
came more and more difficult.
It started out innocently enough
when I flew down from New York
last February thinking I would just
take a look around to see what was
available and how I liked the area.
I wasn’t planning to buy anything
right then. Heck, my wife wasn’t
even with me to look at houses, but
my daughter talked me into going
around with her realtor just to take
a look. By the end of the only day
we went looking I had found a
beautiful house that had just come
on the market that day, with sever-
al more bedrooms than I wanted, a
much bigger piece of land than I
needed and a higher price than I
wanted to pay. After sending my
wife the video I took and getting
her approval, I made an offer, as
did two other people who had
looked at it the same day. So much
for getting a steal of a price. I was
in a bidding war that I wound up
winning by paying two thousand
over the asking price instead of the
$20,000 underbid I had first sub-
mitted.
Did I pay too much for the
house? It didn’t seem so at the
time, comparing it with New York
pricing, but now that I have had to
replace some major systems over
the past year that cost thousands, I
think I might have.
The previous owners, it seems,
did a really good job of covering
up the fact that the air condition-
ing and the pool pump and salt-
water generator were on their last
legs. They pulled a sneaky trick.
Rather than replacing the worn out
systems, they bought a one-year
warranty for about $400 to give the
new owners confidence that they
wouldn’t have out-of-pocket ex-
penses. It covers most of the
home’s systems with a $75 de-
ductible per new claim but if the
repair costs more than the old ap-
pliance or system is worth they
pro-rate it and write a settlement
check leaving the new homeowner
to figure out what to do next. So, of
course, those systems weren’t re-
pairable, hence the thousands of
dollars to replace them.
My next challenge, now that I
owned the Florida hacienda, was
to sell the New York house. The re-
altor, who had resold seventeen of
the ninety four homes in my devel-
opment, told me it would sell in no
time. No time turned out to be nine
months. Her estimate as to what
my house was worth was based on
a market that had changed dramat-
ically in the past year. It was also
based on so-called comparables
that had renovated kitchens and
baths (which mine didn’t). So we
continues next page
41
It’s Your Business
had to get more realistic with the
price and wait for a buyer who fell
in love with it and was willing to
make the necessary renovations
themselves.
A word to the wise: Don’t re-
model if you think you are going
to sell. Redoing kitchens and bath-
rooms are projects for people who
are going to live in a house for
several more years. If you plan to
put the house on the market, you
have no idea what your potential
buyers will or won’t like about
what you’ve done. You could easi-
ly spend $100,000 or more (not to
mention six months of inconven-
ience) updating everything just to
have potential buyers come
through and tell you how much
they don’t like your choices. You’d
be better off knocking $50,000 off
the price and advertising it as a
fixer-upper. No stress, no mess.
The people who bought our house
are right now in the process of
gutting and completely redoing it,
so I’m glad I didn’t renovate.
Another tip: When you put
your house up for sale, if you can
afford to, move out of it. Clean it,
paint it, have a professional stage
it, and leave. If you don’t, every
day that it’s on the market you
will have to leave the house in the
morning looking like nobody lives
in it and that gets old real quick.
Your stuff will be mostly packed
away and you’ll feel like you’re
living in a hotel so you might as
well go live in one. At least they’ll
clean your room for you every
day. I even had to send the dog
down to Florida early because, al-
though potential buyers might as-
sume that you have one, they
don’t want to see it or any evi-
dence that one ever lived there.
Next on the challenge list was
the move itself. Hiring a moving
company, unless you have a whole
lot of money to burn, is not a fun
experience. Even though we had
sold most of our furniture, be-
cause during the time we were
waiting to sell our house we just
about outfitted the new one com-
42
pletely, we still had a sizable num-
ber of boxes and other odds and
ends that had to go. The estimates
from the moving companies were
not at all precise. The numbers
ranged anywhere from $8,000 to
$14,000 depending on weight. The
catch is that they couldn’t weigh
your stuff at the time of the esti-
mate. They have to wait until it’s
on the tractor trailer and then
drive it to a scale somewhere to
weigh the whole thing. By then
you are committed to anything
they tell you. Sounds like an open
ended R.D.I. doesn’t it? Not want-
ing to do that, I got a firm price
from a company that charges a flat
rate to fill up a 26-foot straight
moving van and take it where you
want to go. So for $6,200 I thought
I was all set.
Moving day came. It was the
usual chaos but we had to add the
fact that all of our stuff didn’t fit
on the truck. I didn’t think it was
going to be a problem and neither
did the movers. After all, it was
mostly boxes. Well, it turns out
there were many more boxes than
we thought. My next alternative
was to rent another truck for the
overage and drive it down myself.
Since I was going to rent a car
trailer and tow my wife’s car
down with my Jeep Grand
Cherokee I thought I might as well
hook it to the back of the rental
truck and take it down on this
trip, then fly back to New York
and drive down again with her.
Another few thousand wasted
dollars and we’d be on our way.
Not quite.
Driving to my house to load up
my wife’s car I noticed in my rear
view mirror that the trailer was
wobbling down the road. Arriving
at home I checked the wheels and
sure enough, one was loose; not
lug-nut loose but wheel-bearing
loose. I called the company. They
towed it away to fix, but couldn’t.
Although the bearing is a common
part, the spindle that needed to be
replaced along with it, isn’t. Now
they had to find me another trail-
er; hard to do when all the one-
way rentals are heading south this
time of year. It took an extra day
but they found one.
So now I’m ready to go, or am
I? On a final walk through I went
downstairs and flushed the base-
ment toilet only to see water com-
ing up through the drain in the
shower next to it. The house drain,
which had never clogged in the 22
years we lived there, decided to
do so today. So now it’s a $300
plumbing bill on the way out the
door. I guess it was the house’s
way of giving me a raspberry.
Now for what I like to call “The
final insult.” I saw my neighbor
out in front of his house so I decid-
ed to go say my final goodbye to
him. He was staring at my Jeep
which was parked at the curb be-
hind me. All of a sudden he said,
“What the heck happened to your
Jeep?” I turned around to see both
doors on the passenger side
smashed in. He said, “Yeah, I no-
ticed it yesterday. I thought you
knew.”
I guess I didn’t have any reason
to be on the right side of the car in
the past few days. I don’t have a
clue when or how it got hit. All I
knew was that I wasn’t going to
drive it to Florida like that. I don’t
know any body and fender guys
down there but I do know that I
have a great one in New York. I
drove it over there. “John, you
gotta help me,” I said. “This car
has to leave for Florida next
Monday or Tuesday at the latest.”
When he finished laughing he
said, “I don’t think so. It needs
two new doors and the pillar
straightened, not to mention paint
and transferring all the parts from
the old doors. This is normally
about a three-week job but I’ll see
what I can do.” He ordered the
parts that day. The adjuster came
the next morning and approved
the $6,200 repair and, believe it or
not, by the following Tuesday af-
ternoon the car was ready.
Meanwhile, I drove the truck
down, towing the other car. I
Transmission Digest
showed up at the same time the
moving truck did. It seems they
were delayed a couple of days
when their truck broke down in
Georgia. In fact, the truck that
was outside my house wasn’t the
same one that left New York. The
company sent an empty to where
the other one broke down and
transferred the load. Talking to
the driver I found out that he
subsequently got a $1,000 ticket
for being overweight at a weigh
station in Northern Florida. He
was not happy.
I flew back to New York on
Sunday. Since the car wouldn’t be
ready until Tuesday we stayed at
a hotel and proceeded to eat at all
of our favorite restaurants over
the next couple of days figuring
we may never have that chance
again. At least that was good.
Wednesday afternoon we left.
Friday night we arrived. No more
drama, thank goodness. Now all I
have to do is pay all the credit
card bills as they come in.
Was it worth it? I didn’t think
so at the time, but now as I am
writing this article it’s 25 degrees
and snowing in New York. I may
not be totally happy in Florida
yet but I’m getting there. TD

cover, but it was a
first for me.
Our journey began
with a 2007 Mercury
Mountaineer 4.6L
with a 6R60 transmis-
sion. This vehicle had
just had a remanufac-
tured transmission in-
stalled at the shop of
one of our wholesale
customers. This unit
requires the TCM
(Transmission Control
Module) to be pro-
grammed, as it was

44 Transmission Digest
the first place. I learned that the
vehicle was originally towed in
with a no movement concern. I
asked them if there were any codes
stored in the system at that time.
The tech advised that codes were
pulled, but he did not write them
down. From what he recalled, they
might have been “U” series codes
along with some transmission-re-
lated codes.
Armed with this new informa-
tion and assuming that these codes
were in the system prior to the
transmission failure, it was time to
start doing some voltage checks on
the high speed CAN wires con-
necting the modules. I won’t get
into the specifics regarding CAN
voltages, but I knew I was looking
for 2.5V to 3.5V on the CAN high
line and 1.5V to 2.5V on CAN low
line, and that these voltages need
to mirror each other. As luck
March 2015
would have it, the shop I was
working with did have a late-
model scan tool with scope func-
tion. I sent them a copy of the
waveform and what it should look
like in regards to voltage pattern
(Figure 1), and told them that the
easiest place to check CAN voltage
is right at the DLC.
A short while later I got a call
back from the tech saying that he
must be doing something wrong,
because the waveform and volt-
ages they were coming up with
were nowhere close to what the
sample waveform was showing. In
fact, the voltages were spiking off
the screen. They took a cellphone
photo and sent it to me. The pic-
ture did not come out well enough
for me to put in this article, but
from what I could tell, he was
right; the voltages were all over the
place. Refer to Figure 1 and visual-

ize it with voltage spikes going off
the screen. That’s what theirs
looked like.
I did confirm that they were
checking the correct pins at the
DLC. Typically when we have “U”
series communication codes the
problem usually is a no-voltage sit-
uation, but this case was complete-
ly the opposite. Regardless, we had
enough evidence that voltage was
more likely the cause of the com-
munication issue. We now had to
figure out what was causing this
type of voltage to be induced into
the CAN wiring circuit.
Based on the earlier wiring re-
sistance checks we had performed,
I did not think we had a problem
with the CAN wiring being short-
ed to other wires in the harness,
but rather induced voltage into the
circuit, similar to what you would

see when there was a bad alterna-
tor causing higher than normal
voltages in the TPS (Throttle
Position Sensor) and/or speed sen-
sor circuit.
CAN signal wires are a twisted
pair of wires much like speed sen-
sor wiring, but unlike speed sensor
wiring, the CAN wires are un-
shielded. Obviously, the first thing
I had them check was charging
system voltage, which they ad-
vised was within spec. I started to
sense this was not going to be an
easy over-the-phone diagnosis. I
asked if there was anything else in
particular about the vehicle, such
as engine issues, etc. Knowing that
we could still communicate with
the PCM, I thought that maybe,
just maybe, it might give us a clue.
We knew it had to be something
2 an engine misfire code for #1 cylin-
3 U1900, although the U1900 code was not consis-
46
that was carrying a higher voltage;
therefore, what about the ignition
system? The tech mentioned that
he did not think the engine was
idling very well, but not bad
enough to give it much thought.
This vehicle uses a COP (Coil
On Plug) ignition system, and
therefore has no plug wires to in-
terfere with the signal, but we still
had individual coils on each cylin-
der. As I stated earlier, when the
vehicle was originally checked out,
it had other codes stored but the
tech didn’t write them down. With
having no misfire codes stored at
this time, I had the tech hook scan
tool back up and go into mode 6
data, hoping this would shed some
light on any misfire activity. Sure
enough, cylinder #4 had current
misfire activity with no misfire ac-
tivity on any of the other cylin-
ders. Could it be that a bad coil
was causing these voltage spikes?
The COP coils in this Ford ap-
plication are all identical; the tech
removed the #4 coil and swapped
it with the #1 coil. Both coils are on
the right-hand bank of the engine,
with #1 at the front of the engine,
and #4 in the last position on the
right bank. The codes were cleared
from both modules and the vehicle
restarted. The tech left the scanner
in scope mode and with the engine
running, he noticed right away
that the CAN signal looked much
like the sample signal that I had
sent him. After about a minute of
run time, the wrench light came
back on. We now had a good CAN
signal, but why was the light on?
When he again checked the
code status, the communication
codes were gone but we now had
der. This concluded that the coil
was in fact defective, so the tech
replaced it. This corrected all code
issues and he was able to complete
the TCM programming process.
The wiring harness that the CAN
wires are housed in run very close
to (if not right on top of) coil #4 at
the back of the engine (Figures 2
and 3). TD
Since the writing of this article, our warranty techs
have come across this problem on several occa-
sions. In all of these cases the coils were swapped
and the communications codes went away. Oddly
enough, the codes that were set in each of these
situations stayed very consistent, with U0101 and
tent as to which module it was stored in.
Therefore, the next time you encounter CAN com-
munication codes, don’t overlook the NOT so
obvious. And don’t be afraid to use mode 6 data
during your diagnostic approach. It’s a great tool
for situations like this.

B USINESS TRAINING A. Little Help
•Author: Art Little
•Subject Matter: Management
Telephone Procedure
Do’s and Don’ts
I
began investigating how to maximize leads in
today’s shops last year by interviewing some on-
line lead experts, since that is where all the leads
are nowadays. The common opinion in their line of
work was that they would be a lot more successful if
the managers in our industry knew how to answer
the phone properly and convert their leads into jobs.
I know there is a lot of truth in that because I have lis-
tened to recordings of my managers and when I saw
them next, it was all I could do to keep my hands off
their throats; however, there are a lot of managers out
there in our industry who are trained on proper tele-
phone procedure and know how to set a lead. The
lead guys like them. Good salesmen make them look
good. But, on the other hand, a good lead guy can
make a salesman look good too.
Logically, the trick would be to get the good lead
guy and the good salesman together, I guess. That
being said, this month my investigation into maxi-
mizing leads takes me back to the manager answer-
ing the phone again. I thought I had just about beat
all the hair off of that dog in my other articles on tele-
phone policies and procedures, but it doesn’t look
like we have solved the problem (at least according to
the lead experts). So to all the managers out there, in
an effort to make you look like rock stars to your cus-
tomers and, in return, make the lead experts look like
rock stars to the shop owners, I will offer up my list
of the 10 top dos and don’ts when it comes to answer-
ing the phone at a transmission shop.
DO’s
1. Get organized and be ready to sell.
Before you start, you might make a list of reasons
why customers would want to come to your shop in-
stead of your competitors’. What makes your shop
special? Don’t brag on yourself. Brag on your techs
and the shop. Find a place to sell. Choose areas away
from customers to do your selling. Go in your office
to sell and shut the door when possible to avoid dis-
tractions. Use a telephone procedure pad to read the
track and rebuttals and write down the customer in-
March 2015
formation. Set a pad next to every phone and make
those your secondary sales areas. Have a pen at every
station and one in your pocket. Immediately after you
hang up the phone, take the information you have
written on the telephone procedure pad and record
the lead into your lead flow system at the shop under
the follow-up category.
2. Let the customer vent.
Ask them questions like, “Exactly what is the vehi-
cle doing?”, “How long has it been doing that?”,
“Does this happen once in awhile or all the time?”
and “Is there any noise?” Then let them tell their
story. They need to tell someone and get it out. It
helps to slow the customer down and it gives you a
chance to find out how you can serve them best.
3. Minimize the problem and create an urgency.
The fact is, you don’t know if they have a transmis-
sion problem and neither do they, and if they do have
a problem, it could be inside or outside the transmis-
sion. Tell them not to worry about it too much until
you get the results of the diagnosis. It could be some-
thing simple to fix. Be positive, minimize their prob-
lem, stress the importance of proper diagnostics and
point out the fact that you are saving them $200 off
what the dealer charges for diagnostics. Create an ur-
gency to bring the vehicle in before it gets worse.
4. Close the appointment.
There comes a time when you have asked the right
questions and the customer has answered them. Now
it is time to set an appointment. Ask if now or 2 p.m.
would be better. Why? Because you are assuming the
customer is going to make an appointment, now it is
just a matter of when. Make it personal. Make the cus-
tomer feel like you care about them and their prob-
lem. Tell them that you are going to take a drive
together when they get there and they can show you
what the problem is and you will have a solution
when you finish the diagnosis. Treat them like family.
Erase their fear and make them want to come to you
for their solution.

A. Little Help
5. Avoid distractions.
When you are selling on the phone, everyone in the
shop should keep distractions away from you. You
should designate a second employee to answer the
phone and take messages after the third ring anytime
you are selling. Stay on the lead until you set the lead
and do not get distracted.
DON’Ts
1. Don’t let the customer control you.
You don’t have a chance if you do not take control
of the customer when they call. Use the telephone pro-
cedure to guide and control the sale. We are not parts
salesmen at their disposal. The fact is, “How much?”
is the only question they know to ask when they call.
That is why we have our questions to ask. Be patient
and answer the customer politely, without giving a
price if you can, and learn to rely on your telephone
procedure to get your leads in. It is your best bet.
2. Don’t let the phone ring off the wall.
The manager should always answer the phone be-
fore the third ring is over. If the manager does not an-
swer the phone, there should be a designated back-up
for the third to the fourth ring, then, after the fourth
ring, everybody answers the phone as fast as they can.
If the manager is away from the shop, the designated
second answers the phone and only takes messages
for the manager. The second does not talk to cus-
tomers about their repairs. Instead, they tell the cus-
tomer that they have to get back to work and will give
the manager the message.
3. Don’t shoot from the hip.
If you haven’t been trained on proper telephone
procedure, you and your shop are at a distinct disad-
vantage. Fact: It is easier to sell with a telephone pro-
cedure than it is to shoot from the hip. Find and use a
telephone procedure that you like, or write your own,
just say the same thing every time. It is a no brainer.
Quit working so hard.
4. Don’t waste time on the phone.
Figure out your priorities. If you are talking on the
phone with anyone other than a customer and the
phone rings, put them on hold. It may be a new lead.
You are not making any money when you are talking
to the parts salesman. Leave conversations with your
friends and relatives at home. You need to be focused
when the phone rings and be able to make them want
to bring their problem to you. If you and your wife are
having a problem, the customer’s problem doesn’t
seem so important. Stay focused and be ready when
the money line rings.
5. Don’t price over the phone – unless...
The idea is to make the customer understand that
48
he doesn’t need a price right now. He needs a proper
diagnosis and yours is free. It is the same diagnosis
the dealership charges $200 for and you are able to
work him in right away. Get the customer to like you
and trust you and want to bring his problem to you.
Work on that in your own way on the phone and
don’t give a price without a complete diagnosis in
your hands, unless....
Did you ever meet a salesman who didn’t have one
more thing for you to consider before you said no?
Well, here it is. You can tell the price shopper that, “As
a manager, I cannot give you a price. I can only sched-
ule a free diagnosis. Would you like to speak to the
owner?” This sales procedure establishes a front-line
with the manager and a safety net with the shop
owner and transfers control of the sale to the owner
before the lead is lost. The shop owner should try to
set the appointment again but, if he can’t, he can give
a price or make a “special deal” for them.
Understand that it is not to anyone’s advantage to
quote prices over the phone without even knowing
what color the vehicle is. That can create a list of prob-
lems for you and the customer. We only do it to satisfy
customer pressure to know some kind of a price be-
fore they will schedule an appointment with us. So
the plan is to try to explain why they need a diagnosis
instead of a price first and stick with that, unless...
you think you are going to lose the lead. Then, let the
owner quote a price, only if he has to in order to save
the lead. Also, another advantage is that the customer
is more likely to come in if he gets a “special” quote
from the owner. This telephone sales procedure lets us
enjoy the best of both worlds and maximize every
lead.
6. Don’t be lazy.
Get a different attitude about Internet shoppers. A
lead is a lead to a real salesman. It is just an opportu-
nity to make a sale. Some are better than others. Have
a good attitude. Call back your Internet form submis-
sions ASAP. Record every lead. Categorize the leads.
Record the results of every conversation. Follow up
with form submissions, no-shows and FTAs. It is the
lead expert’s responsibility to make the phone ring. It
is our responsibility to turn it into a sale.
Okay, maybe that is 11 Dos and Don’ts, but I had to
get “Don’t be lazy” in there somewhere. Here is my
advice to you. DO your best to get better every day
and DON’T give up. Be patient with yourself, each
other and the customers. Make that your goal and you
will do fine. It takes time and effort to become great;
however, that is just a list of the dos and don’ts of an-
swering the telephone. That should help, but it is not
going to be enough in today’s shop. It is only the be-
ginning. There has to be an affordable plan of action
that will quickly increase lead count, maximize lead
conversion and track the new leads and new profits.
Transmission Digest
Plan of Action
Fast, Easy and Low-Cost Leads
The first part of my plan is to make it easy to get
low-cost Internet leads. The good news is that there
are plenty of low-cost leads! You just have to be set
up to pay for and receive them.
Free Training
The next part of the plan is training. I would like
to thank those of you who signed up for the produc-
tion management training in February at the
Transteam website. It has been a dream of mine for
a long time. The online class was a great success. All
students finished the training and passed their certi-
fication test. There were no quitters. They were all
climbers and they each received a Production
Management Certificate to hang on their wall at the
shop. Congratulations to the first class of 2015. No
more Hotel Hell!
I have been inspired by your response to the first
round of online classes, so I am putting together a
training and certification class for telephone proce-
dure now. I am collaborating with the number-one
lead expert in the industry, Corey Turner at
DriveTrain Technology, now to create a great online
learning experience. We should be finished by the
time you read this. Come to the Transteam website
and sign up for the training. It is free again this
month to Transmission Digest readers. Just go to
http://web.transteam.com/training/ and enter the
code TDtrain4free when you register for online
training.
Formula to Maximize Leads
Easy-to-get cost-effective Internet leads + free on-
line telephone training = More $$$.
As industry salesmen, let’s all work together as a
team to maximize the leads at our shops by taking
the time to get some formal online training and
learn the proper telephone procedure, because
Together Everyone Achieves More as a team. Online
lead programs will make the phone ring and online
training will give us an easy way to improve our
telephone skills and techniques. The training should
give us the tools and techniques we need to show
the lead experts what we are made of and, while we
are at it, put a little extra cash in our own pockets.
Now that we have the right formula. Do take action.

B USINESS TRAINING Reman U
• Author: Megan Pierce
• Subject Matter: Hiring
• Issue: Getting New Employees Up and Running
7 Ways to Onboard a Rockstar
W
hen you hire a new guy or
gal, your job isn’t done
when they walk in the door.
In fact, it’s just starting.
A few weeks ago, Ben joined our
Customer Loyalty Team. It’s been
about a year since adding anyone
new, so our onboarding process was
due for revamping.
So how do we ensure the newest
person on our sales crew is ready to
be a rockstar for our customers? Here
are 7 ways:
Make the newbie feel at ease.
Their first day, week, month…
well, it can all be intimidating if the
entire team isn’t welcoming. The
quicker you make them feel like a part
of the team, the quicker they will get
into the groove.
Have a point person to facilitate training.
I’ve been that lucky person for Ben.
I say lucky because I truly enjoy help-
ing schedule his training activities.
Find a member of your team willing
to share the resources needed to be
successful from day one.
Be clear about expectations.
Your newest hire needs to know
March 2015
what you gauge as success. Create a
plan that helps your employee fulfill
expectations and share it with them.
Be clear about their current training
program and upcoming learning op-
portunities.
Carve out one-on-one time.
Give your new employee time to
shadow major areas of your business.
Showing them a full picture of how
you do business and where they fit in
helps them grasp your vision for the
company – and their place in it.
Involve your entire team.
Ben started his sales team training
by shadowing our seasoned reps and
taking notes. He then jumped in and
worked the keyboard while the veter-
ans continued to talk to customers.
And just recently, he took over both
controls with a seasoned rep listening
in. When the whole team is involved
in showing the ropes, everyone is in-
vested in the learning process.
Create an environment where questions
are encouraged.
You want your newest addition to
thrive in their position. Feeling com-
fortable asking questions of you and
Circle No. 12 on Reader Card
the rest of the team prepares them to
help your customers all on their own.
Offer an environment that encour-
ages open conversation.
Check in often.
When you’re actively involved,
you can gauge a new person’s
progress and ask for feedback. The
training experience is incredibly
valuable in helping improve the
process for the next new hire.
Likewise, it’s crucial to provide open
feedback about where your newbie
excels and where they can improve.
Early next week, Ben’s training
wheels are coming off. Does he per-
fectly know the complexities of build-
ing a six-speed? No, but I can
guarantee that he has a full under-
standing of helping our customers in
the best way possible. If he doesn’t
know an answer, he will work his tail
off to get it. To me, that’s an onboard-
ing success story. TD
