QuestionThe car has been towed to a transmission shop for an estimate of damage and price. The eighth no of the VIN is U I would like to keep this car if it is at all feasible. As much as I like it I don't want to keep repairing it. I did track down some used parts prices. Caveman auto parts in the US wants $250.00 plus shipping, for the transmission assembly which may keep the repair down. Minimum installation here is $500.00 without complications. (clutch etc) I will know better what is wrong when the estimate comes in. Keep you posted. Many thanks Cheryl
AnswerCheryl,keep in mind that "most" transmission shops replace
the bbad unit with a re-built one on the shelf and.99%of
there work comes from auto transmissions.I think at one time I was the only tech. in 100q. miles that could repair
a standerd trany.Most of the work I have done,two people
before me "fixed" the problem !!A young man who thinks
he knows alot,most of the time gives the good old guys like
me a bad name. I feel bad for people when there car has to go to the shop. I hope this helps. thankyou tm.
