where to get a Rebuilt V6 Auto ?

[Mates85]

Hey , first post on here basically ive got a 4 runner with a vp V6 and 4 speed commodore auto box , transmission is flogged out and im after a rebuilt one , is there any good places i should look ?

i am in sydney myself but can pay freight from interstate .

local trans place reckons $2200 for an exchange box including labour but ive got mechanical know how myself and access to a workshop and a mate is licenced mechanic at that workshop.

how much should i be looking at paying ,

also im after reputable places , had expiriences in the past when they tell you sure its rebuilt and its not and you cant do squat about it !

thanks guys hopefully i can learn a thing or 2 off this great site about my motor !

look around i wouldnt pay more than $1500

[leigh 7005]

if you can do your self it wouldnt cost more than $500 with new converter

$2200 is a rip, but that depends what work is done to the trans?

I paid $1600 for a full rebuild of the t700

yeh currently looking for just a palce to get a reco box from or exchange reco and fit it myself , the initial $2200 price is with labour to remove and fit reco box

in adelaide city dismantlers do exchange overs if that helps

I got a rebuilt auto, new converter, stage 2 shift kit, corvette servo, other assorted heavy duty internals fitted (I didn't have to lift a finger) for $1950 from Allstates Transmissions on Port Rd in Adelaide. They are Aus wide though... Customer service is crap, but they don't do a bad job.

you might as well do a manual conversion, its the perfect time to.

I wouldn't pay any more than $800 for a rebuilt auto or $1200 for a manual kit. pain in the a*#e if you don't have access to that workshop though. a lot of stuffing around inside the car as well as out. I've changed to a manual myself but i wouldn't recommend it. especially in a 4 runner.

I'm sure you could find a second handy for 50-100 buck or a whole car for 300 bucks but if you can afford a rebuild then just concider the value of you car!
