Car transmissions

[Ktownchic]

so i have a 1999 Dodge Stratus, and unfortunately, the transmission just went. this is extremely bad because ive been working my ass off trying to pay for college, and i dont have time to be saving for a car. my parents said they wont pay for a new transmission in my car. my question is... how much do transmissions cost? and has anyone ever had this problem ? i need help.

My parent's had to replace my jeep's tranny and it was about 2000 bucks new. Seems like a pretty average price; 1500-2000 new.

how aboutr try to ask relatives/grand parents

 

[meggers]

yea mine went last year i have a honda crv 99 and it cost 1800 so yea good luck with that hun, they suck alot. hope it all works out. you could always take out a student loan and use it for the transmission!! i know people who do that

ya you are kinda screwed unless you have like 2g's lying around somewhere...maybe if you want to save 500$ then you coiuld go to a standard transmission

$4000 including labor to replace the transmission in my F-250.

 

[lorida]

scrap yards ARE your friend. You can find a tranny for 500$, another 400$ for the install.

you got raped

 

[Capt.Flannel]

f-250 tranny? he didn't get raped; have you seen a transmission for one of those? They're monsters.

 

[dilla_says_go]

i paid 1300cdn for a used tranny + labor for my 94 toyota

 

[johanblaze]

find a better deal on an E4OD with a 3 year/75,000 mile warranty than $3200. i paid $800 in labor.

 

[wang_bong]

dude the f-2/350 transmissions probably weigh more than small cars

 

[tBatt]

buy a moped!

What ever you do just don't get a new tranny. Check out some junk yards and stuff and save yourself the money.

 

[another1260poser]

^exactly. don't buy new.. especially from a dealer. call around to salvage yards and they'll find you one for much less. any reputable shop will put it in for about 4-$500. hell, save the money and do it yourself if you feel like taking on a challenge! haha. we could change a fwd tranny in a day and a rwd tranny in an afternoon. the thing that sucks is the gear oil.. that shit smells soooo nasty. takes like 4 showers just to come out smelling humal again if you get it on you.

plus its slimey as all hell and is almost impossible to wash off, kinda like power steering fluid, i hate both of those.
