I paid 2400 for a stage one on my 96

 

I'd get a Ford reman..at least you know that you will have a warrenty...

 

Ford reman from the dealer? How much is a Ford reman? The place Im lookin at offers a warrenty, but probably not as long....

 

far as i know, when i priced my e4od rebuild. ford wanted like 2k for a reman and a 1k core. give em the core and its like 2k.

 

$1,300 for a rebuild and install??? Sounds more llike a used trans price to me. Shops that charge low prices do low price work, no bushings, used steels, cheap converter, no upgrades, keep your vehicle for a month if you have a warranty problem, etc,etc.

 

You need to read the whole post....:wink[3]: I said that I would be doing the drop and re-install. They want $1279 for a rebuild with the Tugger shift kit.

 

Uh im not sure but I dont think the 4r100 has a solinoid... How much money do you have to spend on the trans?

 

i would get a 6.0 TC (or a performance one), BTS VB, billet shafts, and cool it with a 6.0 trans cooler. you should be go to go for a wile. you could take all those parts to the shop and have them install them....or you could just do a ZF6 swap haha

 

Thats why I was askin how much cabbage he has to work with lol.

 

why 6 speed swap?? :thumb:

 

Some people would rather have a built auto...:thumb:

 

Oh trust me, I would much rather have a manual trans. I really dont have much money at all. Im hoping that this tranny holds up for a while until I can afford to get a new one or rebuild one

 

how far are you from the MI line???

 

MI is Michigan right? Im not that far. Probably like two hours. If it was worth driving there, I would make a trip. Why do you ask?

 

Transmission rebuild

I have had several trannys rebuilt in that price range, although I live in SC the parts should be the same. All are doing fine with several thousand miles on them. We save 400-500 $ by pulling and Installing. Thats how a $2000
tranny job can be done for 1500.00 Ask for a few names of customers If they are good they will supply references.

 

ok ill ask him and see what he can come up with

 

Any word yet?

 

I really apprecite it man.

 

have not heard back from him yet... ill try and give him another call tomorrow

 

Thank you brother

 

A friend of mine paid 3300 thing lasted maybe two years then he ordered one from someone online for 1800 but was built like a tank but had to pay 500 to change it out. I wouldve done that myself. But there's a place in Dallas that charges 1250 and 300 to r&r. I can tell you trans shops are usually the 2400 mark kinda crazy it takes them about 5 to 6 hours complete that's pulling it rebuilding it an putting back in. The parts are around 500 they all say they replace all this stuff it's a lie they know what parts go bad. Trust me I know a few trans guys a gm dealerships. In front wheel drive vans they charge to r&r trans and all they do is remove the wheel and pull trans apart

 

hey man, just what shop round dallas can we trust for trans work, had no choice but to take to ford twice n still havin issues, liked to kicked mgr butt when he said coulda installed a brand new sd trans for 2500 for me, had already paid him 2100 the 1st time with no mention of that, so lookin at 3rd trip now, but not goin back to floresville tx.

 

i talked to my buddy, he is gonna price shop some parts to make sure nothing price wise has changed... hope to hear back from him tomorrow sometime

 

sorry for the delay... you have a PM

 

TRANS

i work at a very large ford dealership in wisconsin and i could get you a ford reman for like 2000 and they have a 3yr/100,000 mile warrenty on all transmissions and if you were to ever have a problem with it you could just bring the truck to your nearest ford dealer and they will take care of it free of charge

$2200 for the trans? or for the trans installed?

 

so what did you do?
i need a trans and i am in mokena il
thanks

 

A solid rebuild includes a bunch more than solenoid packs and a cheap converter. lol.

I spend 3700 at a local shop to get his "extreme duty" build. Its worth the money man, you spend a bunch and get it all done right, never have to mess w it again.

 

well it is on a tow truck to the trans shop
i have a friend that does all the tows for that shop and they do a good job
should i get a shift kit?
i pull a 4000 pound rv 10-20 times in the summer and pull my camaro to the track 30 miles away
thanks guys

 

Turns out Im an idiot....The trans is not running hot...I just didnt have the gauge grounded good enough. So I re-ground it to a better spot...and walla, its fine. In the midst of freaking because of high temps, I installed a Tru cool max trans cooler...now I cant get the gauge to reach 150*....sounds good to me!
