Getting a transmission repair can be expensive. The same can be said for having your transmission rebuilt. By far though, the replacement of a transmission is one of the most costly jobs that mechanics do. On average, this can set the customer back anywhere from $1,800 to $3,500 (or sometimes even more). If your motor vehicle has a great deal of damage to it, a rebuild can cost almost as much as a replacement. The higher end transmissions or complete rebuilds will cost the most.

For those looking for basic transmission repair jobs, they can expect to pay in the range of $1,000 to $2,000. If for example, your vehicle is a manual transmission and the clutch needs to be replaced due to mechanical failure, you can expect to be handed a bill for anywhere from $1,000 to $2,000.

Keep your car in good shape by taking note of the following care tips that will be helpful:

v. If you find difficulties in changing the gears on the downside, then the car transmission is slipping and needs immediate attention.

Tip 2: Replace Fluid with a Recommended Brand First of all, you need to check the transmission fluid regularly. If it has turned brown or muddy, or if it smells like burnt toast, change it immediately. Before you get a bottle of transmission fluid, read through the owner's manual and see the exact kind one that your car needs. Never mix two different types of fluid.

The condition the automobile is in can affect the final price tag for work that a mechanic performs on your car's engine. Newer vehicles that have been well maintained will cost less at the shop than their older counterparts that have been through their share of rough times.

If your car is vintage or is very rare, finding parts to replace, repair or rebuild the transmission could be difficult. In this case, the cost to fix this kind of car will increase.

Before you head into a transmission repair facility, you need to know that vehicles that have automatic transmissions cost more to fix than manual transmissions. It helps to be aware of this right from the very beginning.
