Transmission Rebuild Guide
When a transmission begins to show signs of trouble, such as slipping, the problem can often be resolved with a fix as simple as adding the proper amount of transmission fluid. However, other issues could result in the need for a total transmission rebuild.
Rebuild Shop
Finding an auto shop willing to rebuild your transmission may take a diligent search on your part. Many shops use to rebuild transmissions, as they can get paid more to replace them instead. Also, the shop will need to know how to rebuild your specific type of transmission.
Rebuild Cost
The cost to have a transmission rebuilt depends on several factors. A general rule is that the rebuild job will cost about half the price of what your transmission cost when it was new. So if your transmission cost $3000 new, you can expect to pay around $1,500 to have it rebuilt.
Rebuild Labor
Once removed from the vehicle, the transmission will need to be completely disassembled. Individual parts are then checked thoroughly. Some only require cleaning, while others are replaced. Seals and gaskets are always replaced in transmission rebuild jobs.
