J.R. said:Fourth gear is the OD band, that's it. There's no actual 4th gear in there. An OD band cost about 20 bucks, p&r labor 3-4 hundred, labor on band, should be 30 bucks. It literally falls out with the servo removed. If your shop is telling you anything else get your car out of there and don't go back
You should be back on the road for about 500, if it's a driver that's what I'd do with the local mom and pop shop.
If you want. Built auto, mine are 1800 plus shipping and converter with lifetime warranty. Other companies are right about in line with me pricewise (excluding the 700 dollar eBay specials of course)
a t5 on average will run about 800 to 1200 to swap in.
Of course shopping around helps and you can always find some douchenwho got a tremec for a bag of popcorn lol but these are pretty realistic prices I ballparked.
Yeah, all said and done I paid $1550 for my rebuild, but I supplied the kit from Performance Automatic and Karl Baumann.
I had my converter rebuilt but I took care of that, not the rebuilder.
