To our valued customers:

ATS innovates, designs and manufactures the strongest, most reliable transmission/torque converter systems on the market. Our Limited Warranty is designed to protect the consumer and ATS. We are the ONLY performance transmission/torque converter company in the world offering a five-year, five hundred thousand mile (5 year, 500,000 mile) Limited Warranty. We are also the only company engineering and manufacturing a high-performance transmission/torque that publicly posts its Limited Warranty. We choose to post our Limited Warranty online so you can make an educated purchasing decision Ń our transmissions are that strong.

I would like to make a few additional points:

-All ATS transmission/torque converter packages come standard with a 5-year, 500,000 mile parts warranty. If an authorized ATS installation facility installs the transmission and/or torque converter, the first year of the Limited Warranty also includes labor and shipping in the event of a failure. Please visit the following web site for authorized installers and locations. http://www.atsdiesel.com/dealermap

-If an authorized ATS installation facility installs the transmission/torque converter, and there is a failure during the first year of service, ATS will cover the labor to remove it, ship it to ATS, repair the transmission, ship it back to the authorized ATS dealer, and have it reinstalled into your vehicle.

-If an authorized ATS installation facility installs the transmission/torque converter, years 2 through 5 carry parts replacement warranty only.

-When a customer purchases a transmission/torque converter directly from ATS and installs it themselves, (or any non-authorized ATS installer puts it in the customer vehicle), the Limited Warranty is still 5-years, 500,000 miles. However, shipping and labor are not covered for the first year of the warranty coverage. If there is a problem with the transmission/torque converter, simply return the assembly to ATS for diagnosis and repair. The customer is responsible for all shipping and labor for installations at non-authorized facilities.

-ATS offers a First Year Labor Warranty to consumers who cannot have their transmission/torque converter installed by an authorized ATS installation facility. Please contact an ATS customer service representative, or go to www.atsdiesel.com/warrantyregistration for more information.

As an added benefit, if a warranty repair is required at any time during the 5-year, 500,000 mile Limited Warranty period, and your vehicle is delivered to the ATS manufacturing and installation facility located in Arvada, Colorado, there will be no labor or removal and installation charges incurred by our customer for the repair.

One last item that I would like to address:

ATS does not cover broken shafts. Broken shafts are caused from excessive torque; a shaft is only as strong as the material that it is made of, and the design of the shaft. No matter how tough, transmission and torque converter components have limitations.

ATS Billet Shafts are designed to offer more flex then a factory shaft, allowing for greatly increased stress cycles and torque capacity. It is, of course, possible to break a billet shaft. If you happen to break a hard part (shaft, drum, etc.), even though we don't cover them under Limited Warranty, our policy in this situation is to have the transmission/torque converter shipped back to ATS so we can assess the damage. We will maintain close contact with you throughout the process, explain what damage has occurred, and determine the next steps needed to repair the transmission/torque converter to ATS' specifications, so your Limited Warranty coverage continues. There will be costs associated with the repair, but the costs are typically limited to the damaged part and any incidental damage the break caused internally. You will also be responsible for shipping to, and labor charges, at your shop of choice. However, if you can bring your vehicle to ATS in Arvada, Colorado, we will happily perform the removal and replacement of the transmission/torque converter at no charge to you. We would welcome the opportunity to meet you and show you our facility while you are here.

I have a personal commitment to our ATS customers to deliver the best-designed, most robust, longest lasting, toughest products made. This commitment does not end after the sale. That is why we have our Limited Warranty. All of us here at ATS are proud of what we do and offer to our customers. This summarization is meant to better explain our position when handling a failure.

Thank you for choosing ATS Diesel Performance products.

    ATS is relieved from any responsibility or liability under this Warranty on any product for which invoices carry an open balance; i.e.: all bills must be paid in full and all cores must have been returned before ATS will even consider a warranty replacement or repair.

    ATS may amend this warranty from time to time, at its discretion, to keep up with changing business conditions and technology.

In the Event of a Failure

ATS products generally carry a FIVE YEAR/FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND MILE (5 yr/500,000 mile) warranty. There are several exceptions, so refer to this warrantyÕs specific terms and conditions. All labor, shipping, or any other charges associated with the product and the productÕs failure are not covered under warranty. Labor and/or shipping charges will not be refunded under any circumstance. After the one-year anniversary date of the original purchase, there is a limited parts replacement warranty only.

In the event of a productÕs failure, the consumer must return the defective product to ATS for inspection before a replacement is sent to the consumer. After ATS inspects the product and completes the failure analysis, the inspection officer at ATS will provide written documentation stating the condition of the product and determine, to the best of his or her ability, what caused the malfunction or complaint. Based on the findings of the inspection report, ATS will decide whether there is a valid warranty claim.

Should a consumer require immediate service, and chooses not to wait for their product to be returned to ATS for inspection, service, and potential repair or replacement, the consumer can purchase a replacement product from ATS. The consumer must pay the full current MSRP, the applicable core charge, and shipping to and from ATSÕ shop. When the defective product arrives, ATS will refund the core charge and inspect the product. During inspection, ATS will assess the product for warrantable damage. If the original product has indeed failed under the terms of the original warranty, ATS will refund the full purchase price for the replacement product only. If the product has failed due to any issue not covered under the original warranty, ATS will assess charges to the consumer based on any parts necessary to return the product to nominal ATS standards. ATS will deduct the total cost of required parts from the replacement productÕs purchase price, and the consumer will be refunded the difference (if any) between the purchase price paid for the replacement product and the cost of parts.

If the consumer can wait for their product to be returned to ATS for inspection, service, and potential repair or replacement, the consumer pays shipping to and from ATSÕ shop. When the defective product arrives in Colorado, ATS will inspect the product. ATS will then assess the product for warrantable damage. If the product has failed under the terms of the original warranty contract, ATS will repair or replace the product Š at ATSÕs discretion. If the product has failed due to any issue not covered under the original warranty, ATS will assess charges to the consumer based on any parts necessary to return the product to nominal ATS standards. ATS will bill the consumer for the total cost of parts required for repair of the product, and shipping to and from Colorado, prior to the repaired/replaced product being sent to the consumer.

ATS expressly reserves the right to cover consequential damages. For example, if ATSÕ torque converter fails under applicable conditions and within the Warranty term, ATS is not liable for any damage that failure would cause to the transmission or other vehicle components. The consumer expressly agrees and acknowledges that ATS is not responsible for any consequential damage that may or may not have been related to its product failure.

The product/service Warranty shall terminate at the end of the 5-year anniversary date from the time of original purchase, or 500,000 original miles (whichever occurs first). How the ATS product was installed and serviced determines the Warranty criteria:

  • Normal ground shipping
  • Parts costs incurred during the removal, repair, and/or replacement of an ATS product while undergoing warranty work

ATS will cover such costs at its discretion.

Until the product has been approved in writing, via an ATS RMA, for return or repair by ATS at one of the ATS Authorized Installers, the consumer will be responsible for all labor, shipping, and any other costs incurred.

After the first anniversary, ATS will cover parts costs only for a total of 5 years or 500,000 miles (whichever occurs first) from the original date of purchase. ATS will cover such costs at its discretion. The consumer is responsible for any labor cost incurred after the first anniversary, as well as other costs, including shipping charges, unless they purchase the First Year Labor Warranty (listed below).

Labor and/or shipping charges will not be refunded under any circumstance.

ATS First-Year Labor Warranty Terms

ATSÕ Limited and First-Year Labor Warranties do not apply to extreme horsepower or race applications, and do not apply to engine modifications as built by ATS or its agents. ATS reserves the exclusive right to determine whether its products have been used for extreme horsepower and race applications, and reserves the exclusive right to void this Warranty if its investigation reveals the same.

Consumer expressly waives any right to trial by jury. ATS, however, may sue consumer in Jefferson County/District Court to collect any unpaid accounts, and consumer agrees to jurisdiction and venue of said Courts. This Warranty gives you specific rights, and you may have other rights, which vary from state to state.
