Tried the route of pulling a tranny from the junk yard and ended up with another ragged out piece of crap so im just going to have my original transmission rebuilt.. Does anyone have any idea what I can expect to pay for this? Thanks for any input

 

depends how far you go. ive seen anywhere from 1500-5K. having it out of the truck will help you big time.

 

Thanks..
The word is my valve body is bad, 2nd and 3rd gear are bad and the clutch(s) is toast

 

have it built to race spec. considering your user name and all...

 

I had mine rebuilt , it was 2 grand all totaled .

 

pockets aren't that deep at the moment..

 

if ya dont youll find yourself doing it twice.

 

buy a manual and do it yourself. I did the trans in 0RangerEdge2's truck when we swapped it to 4x4 and with a new converter, complete friction/steel kit with raybestos red clutches and bands i think it was about $400 in parts...i rebuilt the valve body, so if you need a new valve body, tack $200-$300 on

 

too late.. its already being done.. Guess next time ill ask first and ill put in a manual in when this one blows..

 

how much did it end up costing you? I have to have mine rebuilt this summer.

 

$1600 out the door for a total rebuild. Heres what happened. Naively I Just went the way of installing a low mile 42,000 tranny out of a wrecked truck( which was really short sighted on my part). After the install I was told by the mechanic that I have a 90 day warranty and to "drive it like I stole it" . Well, i did, and broke it.
I brought the truck back 3 days later after it started bucking in 1st and 2nd gear, they installed another used piece of crap tranny that still wasn't right. So the owner just ended up rebuilding my original tranny, at no charge to me, at a local specialist. Also, Ended up changing up all 3 cats with some hi-flow aftermarket units as well while they were under there..Moral of the story.. Dont believe what anyone says about used transmissions.. Always go for a rebuild

 

Late to the party, but having my tranny rebuilt 2 years ago set me back $2600.
