Transmission costs??

[Deedee]

Hi..

I was just wondering if anyone knew how much it would be for a new transmission for my 1995 vs executive commodore?? to fit aswell, as i have no idea..

prefferably somewhere in sydney??

[excalibur]

anywhere between $1200-$1500 for a recon one

[DannyboyDS]

I would expect to pay 2 - 2.5k and be pleased if its cheaper tbh, thats in VIC though.

[Deedee]

what about a second hand one??

[camstatic]

Allstates Transmissions (look 'em up) do rebuilt 4L60Es for about 2100 fitted with a new converter. (They're Aus wide)

I was getting quoted around $2k for a reco one or around $2500 to rebuild mine. (managed to find one cheaper reputable place though)
This was just a couple weeks ago, but in Melb.
I'd say to get a second hand one fitted would be around $1500 including parts.

damn thats expensive.. i paid $1400 for mine to get reco'd although that was 2 years ago, but i wouldnt be paying $2000 or over without a shiftkit or at least adding performance parts.

Friend of mine was Quoted $1350 fitted for a recond with a 6 month warranty
thats in Perth though

jeeze... i got mine here in SA recon one for 1000 still runs great a year later

[Deedee]

is it better to get a reconditioned one than a second hand one?? sorry im being a blonde

Does anyone know a good place in sydney? I only want to spend around $1300

i got my auto reco'd at fluiddrive here in melb, i believe they are all round oz so it might be worth looking them up. i had 2 years warranty too!

u could pick up a second hand auto for $200-500 but there are no garrantees that its good and not shagged. ur better off getting urs reco'd with warranty on the auto and the workmanship.

have you looked in the yellow pages then picked up the phone and asked anyone a price? that would be ur best bet

hey guys im in the same boat as the thread starter. need to find a place in perth tho. its for a V6 manual.

also people are posting alot of difference in the amount it costs for this soughta job. is this because theres a difference between manual and auto transmission repairs or just location?

ephect i paid the same as you for my Reco. i think 1100 for the box and the rest was fitting. I THINK!!.. but yeah tat was 2005-6

[GLITRES]

I just got mine done yesterday in S.A. for $660
$440 for the trans and $220 for fitting...
