Transmission Overhaul

Postby 3stagevtec » October 17th, 2007, 2:53 pm

My dad got an estimate of $6000 :shock: to have the transmission in a Suzuki Grand Vitara rebuilt... (vehicle not reversing smoothly / kicks back when acclerator is pressed)

Is that a reasonable price or is he being overcharged? If the price is way overboard, can i get a recommendation on a good transmission mechanic that can do this work?

thanks

actually no, the kit for some of those not so easy to find cars start at $3-4k and thats w/o labour and whatever else doesn't come in the kit, the price not so bad once is someone reputable doing the work and has worked on suzukis before

Hi,

Did you get the transmission repaired or replaced, eventually?
