Tranny rebuild cost.

[DR3W]

Just got my expo back from frame shop. But now, it wont shift into 3rd gear. Engine just revs inbetween 2nd & 3rd gear. It wont choose a gear when accelerating from around 35mph until about 5-15 seconds. My mechanic said i need to replace the torque converter, it needs a master kit, and some other hard parts to prevent future problems. He said could have a pressure leak and/or clutch slipping. Whitch sounds right. He estimated $1800 for all the work. does that sound about right, it had 170k miles with zero towing miles and i dont live in the mountains. So yeah, any help will be great! Thanks in advance.

I know it is on ebay but the shop is located in Peoria, AZ and they back everything with a free 2yr unlimited mile warranty. You would still need to get the Torque converter but they quoted me 178 more for it on my 4R100.

Never hurts to call and get another price.

That would be the same one but for me it will have to wait another 6 months or so. New baby due in a month and I decided to get the Edge programer first

better choice. lift can wait since you got a new one coming. a programmer is better anyways. since it will help once you do get the lift. i want to get the cts. but its pricey.

Same that and a muffler are my next buys, probably the cs but i'd love the cts too! haha
