Alrigh...my tranny has been buggin out recently and I believe its time for a new one. I heard it cost around 1500 for a new tranny. But I was thinkin of changing it to manual instead of just gettin another auto tranny..anyone know if this is a good idea and how much will it cost to get the job done to convert?

 

to convert to 5spd!! just get an auto rebuild for around $1500-2000 and a good warranty and you'll be fine!

 

How many miles did you have on it?

 

well... i was consiering it my self... tho i still have some time left on my tranny.. but i feel it slippin slowly....

its according to how much u want a 5 speed...

chris92gxe said it was going for bout 1400 plus clutch kit...

if you do the work yourself.. i would say ****in a.... but if someone else is doin it.... its how muchu want to

how many miles?

 

It has 106200 as of today..and for 1400 to switch..it aint a bad price..and i aint doin that ish by myself..and i guess the people at the transmission shop would do it..damn auto's!

 

i ve got 114 on mine.... but the little "comfort" light is burnt out... i think the previous owner was gentile on it ))

call round... from what i understand its a realtivly 'simple' job... for a mechanic. hehehe... tell me what you hear

 

Chris92gxe is getting the parts,etc. for $1400(including clutch kit?) total and the job he's gettiing done for FREE! so thats $1400 plus proably the same price for a standard rebuild and then a little extra prorbaly, I'd say you're looking at about $2500-3000 job probably, for that much I'd go with a Level 10 stage 2 rebuild and be done with it, it might not be a manual, but it'll last you a VERY long time, probably longer than a manual!!

 

I have 130 k on the originalk tranny. I'm hoping it stays intact for another 100 k. I very rarely use the comfort and power button. Does anybody else use them and why?

why the price of a standard rebuild??

next time i hollar at my mechanic brother ill ask him what teh fee would be... not offical quote... but numbers to work with.
