transmission rebuild

Is 800 a good price to get the tranny rebuilt in a 88 4.0 4x4

800 for a rebuild is a good price, but you can buy 8 used transmissions for that money. Or 14 if you have a pull-a-part nearby.

and the aw4 is such a good trans i'd put a used one in without thinking about it. and transmission rebuilders are very hit or miss these days. i see lots of problems w/ rebuilt trans. a lower mileage aw4 untouched is better in my opinion.

I think we're missing a big point here.

 

... I didn't see him mention AW4 or Puegoet BA 10/5. $800 would be a good price, if the building company did a good job and didn't mess anything up. I've also heard about common problems with rebuilt AW4s.

 

If it's the Puegoet. Definitely not. It's not worth $80 rebuilt. If you've got the 5 speed, spend your money on an AX-15. I've seen rebuilt AX-15's go for between $450 and $600.

I think $800 would be a good price if it was done right. The real trick to getting a quality rebuilt transmission is to find one of those grizzly "old guys" that have their shop out in the country somewhere. :D One guy nearby does great work and rebuilds nothing but jeep transmissions and axles.

does that include r&r? or is it just the price to have the transmission rebuilt? i just paid a little over double that about 6 months ago having the 4L60E in my chevy 1/2 ton rebuilt, that was with r&r and and a surprise $250 charge for a new front driveshaft cause the slip yoke was seized...

Yes he been around a while I'm pretty sure he rebuilt the tranny in my dads comanche and 293xxx with no problems so i think I'm going to take it to him to have it rebuilt. ;)
