When and how much would Overhaul Transmission

[V6Turbo]

Was thinking of changing Torque Converter and mechanic suggests to overhaul Transmission because a failed converter contaminant can affect transmission in the long run.

He also suggests overhaul because of mileage which is around 120K mies.

Overhaul $1800
With 12" Converter 3000 Stall-Totalling $2600.

Please advise.

What's included with the Overhaul for $1800? I wouldn't get the converter for $800 dollars

You can buy a helluva converter, 9 or 10 inch for $800.

Post the goodies on the trans overhaul so we can better inform you whether to walk or run away.

He says to a Stage 1 Level but he did not provide the details.

The total cost includes labor.

get a list of what will be installed and upgraded for that price. the $800.00 for the 12'' converter is way overpriced.

 

[V6Turbo]

Details of "goodies"

Upgrade Shift Kit,
Direct Clutch Capacity
Over Drive Clutch Capacity
Hardened Stator
Larger Boost Valve
Deep Pan
Replace worn, broken, orings etc..in a typical overhaul

The base price for the 12" Converter is $440.00

The overall price including Labor for Stage I w/ 12" Converter Stall 3000 is $2600.00.

*****What he said.. Go somewhere else, preferably someone who has a good track record working on these trannies in high performance applications.

If it's one of the vendors off this board then it sounds like a good deal because they build the best trannies. If it's some local guy then I'd walk away. I've called every tranny shop around me and the worst I've found was $1600. That was a complete rebuild with shift kit, servo, labor, R&R, and new convertor. Whatever you choose do everyone a favor.....DO NOT GO TO ANY AAMCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had my trans built by the most reputable 2004R builder in the Chicagoland area (Jimmys) and it was $1220 with a 2800 stall converter. That includes a rebuild, shift kit, hardened stator and converter. He did not recommend a billet servo until I was into the very low 12s, he said we could always add it in later with no labor charge.

 

[V6Turbo]

Any reputable Tranny Shop in San Diego, California?

 

[DKREDT]

www.drwtransmission.com is in the area I think.

 

[V6Turbo]

Instead of getting a new 12" Torque conventer. Can I just take the D5 and just have it re-stalled for 3000.
