Auto Transmission rebuild/replace cost?
« on: December 20, 2007, 05:17:56 PM »
I have a 1998 Tracker with auto transmission.  I have transmission problems and think that the tranny may need to be rebuilt or replaced.  What do you think the approximate cost to have this done by a mechanic shop would be?

Ahhhh yes... The 4spd OD trans... Well when mine decided it wanted to tear 8 tiny hole in the case from the inside out I did some calls... Now mind you I live in Canada so things are diffeent here but I was quoted at $700 - 800 to rebuild. Thats alot of money for a tranny although it did include a new torque converter. And that was me pulling it out and dropping it on there bench.
I went to a local wrecker and picked up a JDM Import tranny with 45k on it for $450 and that was including a transfer case.
I would suggest making some calls to both the rebuilders in your area as well as wreckers as to find what the price difference will be.
If the wreckers offer a high mileage tranny make sure they give you some kind of warranty to go with it.

My F-350 cost around 3K not including the removal and installation...    :'(
