anyone ever got their transmission rebuilt

tonight for my trucks 247000 mile present im getting its transmission rebuilt. ive been getting trans check engine codes for over a month and sometimes its slipped and tonights it went into 2nd gear lock down about how much did it cost yall? id do it myself but i dont have the time to screw with it, i gotta get on the road on thursday

 

I think there's a 1st gen tranny on ebay for about $375 - $400. Never had one rebuilt...if you did, it would probably come w/a warranty though.

 

i cant afford it, i need the truck on thurs and my mom will pay for a rebuild but wont let me buy one because if i do it according to her i am modding the truck.

i used to work at aamco so im letting my ex boss do it and getting a lifetime warranty i just dont have my mom in town at the moment

 

Lifetime warranty: NICE!

 

yup its awesome a little pricier but very well worth it if you plan on keeping the truck for a while

 

Cant say I have

 

im just wondering if ill hafta make a down payment lol...all my chevy/ford friends are giving me hell about my trans going out...how can i stop this, i do have 250,000 miles on it and it didnt get its first fluid change of anything except oil until 200k miles hell thats when i changed the origional plugs and wires!

 

You got your love out of her. Now spend some money and love her back.

 

i am deff rebuilding trans. (moms paying) buying a 3.4l from a friend and turboing/supercharging for when mine dies and SAS is going on friday

 

I've seen Chevy and Ford trucks need a trans rebuild at 50k miles and don't even start with Dodge, lol. 250k miles on a trans is damn good, automatic trans are a wear item, the clutch plates in the trans wear just from normal operation.

Sorry but I call shenanigans on the plugs. I can believe the Sumitomo wireset but no plug (that I know of except maybe iridium) will last 200k miles.

 

Had the tranny on my expedition rebuilt after about 130,000. And then a year later it left me stranded in first gear and ended up driving 20 miles @15 mph to my girlfriends house. Got it looked at and decided to the "cash for clunker" route. That's how I got my taco!!

 

went to my old boss, we found an issue that could be causeing all the problems. my T-case is sending the code that the truck is in L4 when it isnt so that it sends a malfunction code to the computer and sends it into fail safe mode


only 75 bucks and 2 plugs

 

Wow! Awesome man!! Bet u must feel relieved!

 

hell yeah, and he found me a place that can mill and balance the half shaft on my 2wd trans for about 75 bucks so i can rebuild it and install myself and put on the 4wd taco

 

you should make a build thread of the SAS.

 

i will, we start on this thursday

 

sweet

 

fuck, might hafta rebuild tranny found a nice chunk a metal changin the fluid

 

That sucks!

 

picks of what?
