2017 Expedition EL, roughly 175,000 miles. Transmission has never slipped ever. We do tow our pontoon about 10 miles roundtrip a handful of times per year but that's it. Was parked the other night and when I tried to leave it would not engage in drive or reverse. The gear shift did move, but the car would not. Took it in and am told I need a new transmission. Options are new Ford transmission $6600, new other brand transmission $6400, used Ford transmission with 78,000 miles $3200 or rebuilt transmission for between $4000 - $4500. Thoughts on what to do here? We are primarily deciding between the last two options. In the last year, we have put a whole new AC in this car and a new rear differential for a total of $5000 or more.
The used Ford tranny comes with 12,000-mile warranty. The rebuilt one is unlimited mileage or 1 year.
Any insight is appreciated!!
