Warranty & Policies

Warranty

American Industrial Transmission, Inc. will repair or replace any transmission should the workmanship prove defective within the first six (6) months or 1500 hours of normal use. Fluid leaks are covered for the first 3 months only. All warranty determinations will be made solely by AIT. We promise to administer all warranties in a fair and reputable manner.

Negligence, misuse, accident, abuse, or misapplication will void warranty coverage.

The customer is responsible for contacting AIT in the event of a problem or failure. AIT will advise how to proceed. No work may be performed on a warranty unless authorized by AIT. Any disassembling of the unit will void the warranty.

AIT will determine how the transmission repair should be done. AIT may require that the unit be returned for the repair. Otherwise, AIT will provide parts to the customer to make the repair. If the customer performs an authorized repair, defective parts must be returned to AIT before labor costs will be reimbursed.

AIT will pay ground shipping charges for an approved warranty. We will not cover rental, diagnostics, travel time, or lost revenue. AIT will pay up to $750.00 labor for removal and replacement of a defective transmission or up to $350.00 labor for minor repairs.

Proper installation procedures, such as flushing the cooling system and replacement of the torque converter and filter must be observed in order to assure warranty coverage.
