I dont understand why you would run. The shop builds all the transmissions for our firestone/bridgestone work trucks? i was qouted for 1200 to do a complete rebuild. and i paid 1450.

 

amen

 

Re-read my post. NO ONE can give an accurate quote what a rebuild will cost until the transmission is completely dismantled. If someone says, "Yeah, I can rebuilt your transmission for $1,500" he either takes shortcuts or works for next to nothing, which goes back to taking short cuts.

 

Okay well i'm letting you know that I had mine qouted at 1200 and paid 1450. The guy does nothing but transmissions and builds all our work trucks trans, and those trucks get the hell beat outa them, and they are still running. There were no short cuts taken, i know for a fact.

 

I guess the OP needs to tow his truck up to Michigan and git 'r done... Any Volunteers (slinks off into the ether) ????

Since I don't see any hands up, the OP is gonna have to pay East Coast pricing, which I'm sure is pretty accurate.
At least hes not on the west coast, where labor's about 100 bucks an hour, maybe more.
Be sure and post up when you get your truck back, and let us know how it runs.

VW and Dodge, I would've tossed in the hooker...but I'm a salesman, not a pimp.

 

You'd have my hearty recommendation to my friends!

 

we paid 2800 for rebuilt trannys for our workvans but they were marked up by goodyear tire who installed them....turns out it was the torque converter anyway but they still charged us for the tranny and wouldnt even cut us slack on the tc bill....worse part was I told them i thought it was the converter when I took it in the first time!
It is easy to get burned on this stuff...

 

i actually agree with getting n estimate without having tranny taken apart. Now that i think of it, that is true, how do they know the "hard parts" arent shredded to hell. and the more parts the tranny needs, the more expensive its going to be. so i do agree with this. These people ar basically saying, "yea, we'll put in a rebuild kit," and leave the rest alone. I know the rebuild kits dont come with EVERYTHING the tranny needs

 

aren't the aps precision transmissions 2000 to 2500$?

 

thats what i say, buy a brand new one. or they have new remans on ebays for 750 bucks.
