- VTII Calais 5.7
My transmission on VT 5.7 needs a rebuild. Done some ringing around and got quotes from $1700 to $2200. When I asked the guys who did the $2200 quotes (2 of them) why they are more than the $1700 they said "you get what you pay for" is this true? I dont know much about what is involved with a rebuild. I am looking at going with the quote from my regular mechanic of $2200 because I trust him however another mechanic will replace the transmission with a brand new VY transmission for $2300. Firstly what should I look at paying for a transmission rebuild? Is there really a difference between the $1700 and $2200 rebuild? And finally would I be best to go for the VY transmission for $2300 (comes with 3 year warranty). All comments apprecieated!!
