Does this sound about right?

So my transmission is pretty much gone. ugh.

I called this one place in south philly "Discount Transmission" on 16th and passyunk...They gave me a ballpark figure on a rebuilt transmission...$2400 parts and labor.


Does that sound about right? Anyone have any realistic suggestions? I need this car to last about 2 more years.

well thats kinda expensive for a rebuilt.. my dad got one for his i4 for like $1200-1500 installed..

You should call around some more and wider spread of prices and also ask about their warranties on work that they do... Try AAMCO and places like that

I think I paid a little over 3k to have a re-manufactured one installed in my car, and it came with a 3yr/100k warranty

Well, i heard that place was really good. Its a complete rebuilt and come with a one year warrenty. I called Cottman transmission, but they pretty much told me to bring the car there. I try aamco

Manual swap?

For less than $2400?

 

[tnguyen600]

a 6spd cl-s swap for under 2400? parts and labor?

 

[finch13]

Forgot you were V6...my bad.

 

[tnguyen600]

The $2400 is for a six speed swap, or just to replace the auto? I'm confused.

 

[H-town_Ryda_06]
