Transmission Rebuild Cost

[88XjLaredo]

I've got a 1988 Jeep Cherokee Laredo with the I-6 4.0. I just recently hit 220k and the transmission is starting to slip. Does anyone know how much it will cost to rebuild because I certainly have no idea. I live in the Chattanooga, Tn area so if anyone lives near me I would greatly appreciate some recommendations on who to go to around here.

hmm... off the top of my head, around $500


if you have the AW4:

"Includes Overhaul gasket & seal kit, all friction plates, all steel clutch plates, flex band (if required), filter & bushings and all friction and steel clutch plates."
Price: $214.64
Manufacturer: Omix-Ada
Part Number: 19001.03

cheapest i was quoted was 1200 but that is when u drop your car off at the shop and pick it up when its done....

I'm guessing $1400. You have to be a real good mechanic to rebuild one yourself.

I would just pick up a used tranny (thats been tested), and install, or have it installed.

I could tell you a sad horror story about how an AW4 rebuild at a Chrysler dealership cost me about $5000.00 in 2001, but I don't want to bring up those painful memories.

$825, install on a 93 Chrysler minivan cost $300 at the local mechanic. Probably less for a jeep, they all but had to pull that v6 in the van, silly FWD cars.

when my mom had hers done it her 99 taurus it was over 1000 easily. when i blew the tranny in my f-150 i went and bought a tranny from a jy for 300 and then had a local mechanic install it for another 300, so 600 total and it is still going strong since i sold it to my dad.

My 90's AW4 was $1499 out the door.

$1500 is in the ballpark including labor, but for gods sake make sure your TPS is not the actuall problem which it usually is. A simple volt meter test will rule it out. Theres been plenty of victims of un-necessary rebuilds.
