Engines:
All engines are stamped and have a heat tab installed which has a center that will melt if the temperature exceeds 255 to 260 Fahrenheit. If this heat tab is melted the warranty is void. If your original engine failed due to overheating, Elgin Super Auto Parts strongly recommends that you remedy what caused it to fail, so that future engines will not be ruined. Engine assemblies are sold as an Engine Block and Cylinder Head(s) only. All bolted on accessories are left on the Engine Block for the possible customer convenience and are to be used at the purchaser’s option only and are not warranted. We recommend that you refer to the vehicle manufacturers procedures before installing the engine.
TRANSMISSION:
Some automatic cars are equipped with a transmission computer. If your car has one you should have it reset to remove any fault codes from the previous defective transmission. The following pre-installation maintenance must be performed to validate this warranty: Properly align torque converter. If the torque converter is not aligned properly it will damage the transmission immediately and void this warranty. Flush the transmission cooling lines & transmission cooler (usually integrated with radiator) to get metal shavings from previous bad transmission out of system. Check the transmission cooling lines for kinks or leaks. Transmissions may have the filter removed to insure that a new one is installed. Failure to install a NEW transmission filter will void this warranty. We recommend that you refer to the vehicle manufacturers procedures before installing the transmission. On manual transmissions the warranty is 30 days from the purchase date and will only cover the bearings and synchronizers only. We do not warranty broken gears.
Important:
Any warranty claim must be assigned a Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RMA#) ANY merchandise shipped back to Elgin Super Auto Parts Inc., without a visible RMA# will not be accepted.
