My 3.0 trans shifts hard into second. I know there are a people on here that have had there trannys repaired. How much did it cost? What did they replace? Im just trying to get all my ammo ready so when i start talkin price i dont get screwed. I am mechanically incline and would do this myself but i just dont have the space and i have a new born. Any help would be awesome!

 

around 2k, seen people go to 3k for it. depends who you know and where to go.

 

Nice pic J, i paid $2800 for my rebuild

 

only $2800!!!!!

 

like said junk it. part it out when she goes. I plan on drivin mine into lake norman when she starts actin up knock on dis wood

 

I think aamco charged the previous owner something like 1800.00 to fix the one in my car now about 2 years ago (that's what the receipt shows anyway). I bet the price changes from state to state. Like I bet NY and California will probably be higher than here in NC

 

The torque converter also accounts for a large portion of this, my original estimate was about 18-1900 until they discovered that the TC was bad, and that bumped the price up like $7-800 plus more labor

 

what about the clutch pack kit, theres another thread around saying its still available. I was thinking about getting it, but not if thats not gonna fix the problem. 97 3.0 w/ 136856 mi. Heading to the DMV now to put bitch back on the road

 

getting the stage 10 clutch pack should help

 

I have asked this before and never received an answer, is there something you can have done to the transmission that will stop all the problems with these things? I know it may cost a little more when getting it rebuilt but would really like to know if there are any known fixes for these glass transmissions except switching it to a manual

 

 

The clutches will help but it won't solve the real issues to why the trannies fail, like lack of lubrication to the clutches.

 

that was what I was wondering since I have read it was a lubrication issue, if there was some type of modification that could be done to solve it. I don't see how changing to a firmer clutch pack would solve a lubrication issue, it may help it last longer but that's not a fix its just prolonging the problem. I think that really stinks that there is nothing that you can do to these things to make the transmissions rock solid like the rest of the car except switching the transmission to a manual. If there was something that could be done and even if it cost a thousand or two more it would be worth it to actually Fix the problem. I have one more question, is the pedals from an accord and all the hardware attached to them the same as the CL? I am having problems finding all the stuff from an actual CL but junk yards are full of accords that I could get the needed parts from if they will work

 

AAmco quoted me 1,800 as well with 3yr/36k warranty! This was 2 days ago!

 

just paid $2150 2 weeks ago to Colman Taylor Transmissions.

 

How does it drive with the rebuilt? Not sure if mine is good or bad, but am paranoid from all the posts of problems on here. From a dead stop if I lightly gas it it seams to hesitate a half second from first to second, but no clunks or grinds and the rest of the gears are perfect.

 

Does fine ,but lost 3 mpg, don't know if it is related or not.
