how much did u guys pay to have ur transmission checked out and fixed...AAmco wants to start around $1800 and said it might cost up to $2500.
But before u guys did any repairs was there very noticeable problems?...

 

My Aamco rebuild (ended up being a complete rebuild - basically everything replaced) was a bit over $3K here in SF/San Jose. So far, it works fine 6 months later...they originally quoted me about the same as you BTW. I'm assuming you have a 3.0CL, 97-99.

 

That's alot of moohlah, not much more then a performance rebuild, heck an H22 w/ 5speed swap wouldn't cost that much more then 3g's if you hunt for some inexpensive mechanic work.

 

Goodness gracious thats too much!!

Man i remember when my altimas transmission went people were quoting me like $1100-ish to fix it so i decided to try a different approach..

I went to car-part.com (online junkyard) and i bought one with really low miles (cost me about $325 shipped with warranty)... then i got a shop to put it on for me (about $250 or so),... had the car for another year without problems....saved myself alooooot of cash doing that...

 

i only paid 300$ did it my self. the rebuild kit only costed 215$

 

Wish you lived near me.

 

wilp99 likes to get his hands dirty, hella props to that.

 

I do too, but I just don't have that kinda skill.

 

neither did i. just gotta have the right tools and instructions.

 

Yes, the right tools make all the dif.

 

the hardest part of it all was gettin the shaft nuts off the ends. (3 of them) thier torqued on there like 170ft lbs. thats crazy.
