so i took my car in to mister transmission and he is asking for $3333.46 to fix my tranny and he is giving me 3 year 60,000km warranty on it.

he said he is gonna need
1 pumps
2 master overhaul
3 bushing kit
4 all selenoids
5 sonic valve body upgrade
6 filter
7 torque converter

is this guy ripping me off or should i get it done. i need to get me tranny done up and running. please help me out with this guys

 

A master overhaul kit should contain the bushings.
There is an updated kit out for RE4F04? solenoids, per a TSB.
Why a VB upgrade?
We don't have a filter, we have a screen.
Is the TC bad, or he just wants to replace it?


Basically, no. Get a junkyard one. Hell, a BRAND NEW one from Nissan would cost less than that.

$3,259.37 for a brand new RE4F04V.

Junkyard trans will cost about $300...

 

yea. about 2250 is what i was quoted.

 

i can get a remanufactured one from nissan for 2500$ but i dont know how to put it on and i dont think i have the right tools either. but he is giving me 3 year warranty on it too.

i can get a 500$ one with 117,000k on it too. the guy is asking for 1145.76$ to install that one though and the junkyard is giving 101days warranty on it

 

I'll sell you a 1997/1998 Maxima for less

 

I got my trans rebuilt last winter for $1,000 even with a 1 year warranty... Bought an upgraded VB on here for ~$200. So $1200 total. Wouldnt pay over $2k for a trans rebuild.

 

so wat should i do? should i get the brand new one from the dealer and tackle this myself?

 

That's up to you. Do you want to spend $3k on a rebuild (i.e. ripoff), get a new Nissan one and spend two hours installing it, or get a junkyard one and either install it or have it installed for about $2k less?

Just a couple

3k for a tranny, or 3k for a whole car?

 

see i would get one of those maximas but i live in edmonton canada.

 

Cars in Boston do so much for him, seeing as how his location says Canada.

 

is there a detailed write up on how to install or taking off a tranny?

 

Thanks Captain Obvious

I was stating the point that a used vehicle costs just as much as a tranny, however you missed that point.

No, I got that point quite clearly.

1.) If you were going to help, maybe show cars in his general area, not in a different country.
2.) A used vehicle hardly costs as much as just the trans, you can get them for a few hundred in junkyards. As much as an overpriced rebuild? Yes, maybe. Of course then you have no idea the overall condition of the car, how it's been treated, etc. Not to mention the new car might very well have trans issues itself.
3.) **** off.

 

pmohr, man ur the most helpful guy i have ever known. if i could do anything for u let me know.

by the way my car looks the same as urs but mine is a dark green color

 

No homo?

 

Ok calm down there internet warrior

 

f u pmohr.

no seriously dude ever since i seen u on the org u have been helping people out. i think they should give you a MHP (most helpful person) award.

 

Heh, I'm just ****ing with you.

Yea, I try. This mostly comes from having no life, sitting on the org all day.

 

wat did u hit the jacpot, that u got nothing to do? or u were born holding a golden spoon?

 

how about you tell me the secret so i can do the same.

 

Not so much, I work but it pays well enough that it doesn't have to be a completely steady thing.

 

 

i will have to replace my axles too right if i m going from a vlsd to a non vlsd

 

Why would you swap to an open diff?

Anyway, pass axle is the same.

 

just got my tranny replaced last week. I was going to go to the junkyard and replace it myself, but i have no idea what is a good transmission or not. So i talked to my mechanic who worked for aamco for like 12 years before he bought his gas station. Very nice guy, found me a good used tranny for $850. Told me that a rebuilt transmission is useless a lot of times becasue people dont know how to rebuild it correctly. He also said that a good used tranny is better than rebuilding the one i had, so with installation, 1275, and 10k warranty. so $3k for a tranny is too expensive IMO. I'm sure that you can find an orger that would gladly find you a used tranny and install it for you for 1/3 of the price. If not, try it urself???

 

Buy a 5spd and I'll come up and help you do a swap before I try it on my car
Seriously though, where particularly are you getting that remanufactured auto, and does nissan offer any sort of warranty?

Kills me how much cheaper Max's are in the states..

Thanks

 

Yeah.... Bottom line is he's ripping you off... so go with the junkyard tranny like you're talking about. To tell you the truth the tranny is actually a very easy thing to take off and put back on..... I've done mine a couple times now and both times was done in a couple hours.

Just make sure if you can't handle about 100 lbs without breaking your back that you have someone with you.... Heck even your wife/GF can help. All they need to know how to do is crank the jack up and down.... I mean the car jack...

i do wanna do a 5speed swap but right now i m in a pinch for my car since i m driving my brothers van and the heat doesnt work on it. i have to freeze my *** every morning.

i talked to dave at the dealership and he told me that they have like 7 of them sitting in a warehouse in montreal. he said there is a 60,000km 1 year warranty.

 

cause mine is a vlsd and if i get the one from junkyard, it is an open differential.

can i swap my vlsd into the junkyard tranny? it snows alot in here and i dont wanna be spinning out all the time.

 

northern minnesota....i was quoted $1750 - $2250 to rebuild my tranny.....5 year warranty

 

Come to the dark side, muahahahaha..... lol

 

I need the filter for the RE4F04,

 

There's no real 'filter', but there is a screen. As said by me in this thread above, one year ago.

Have you actually checked anywhere for it? Look online, $20-30 most places for the filter kit.

 

**** i would do the tranny swap for 300 bucks. Ive broken 3 autos already.
