How much should it cost to rebuild an automatic transmission?
Unfortunately there is no specific answer as there are dozens of transmissions and each could have dozens of parts that fail. Complicating the matter much further is the definition of rebuild, which varies an incredible amount from one shop to another. For instance, one shop may replace the seals and clutches and call that a rebuild. Another may replace all parts that are worn as well as all parts that normally give problems, such as solenoids, sensors, valve body, etc. The quality of replacement parts will also vastly influence the price. A better bet may be to check into the reputations of several shops in the area and go with the shop known for honest, quality work. As with most things, you never get more than you pay for.
