eed to make sure you are buying the correct transmission rebuilding kit. Not every kit includes the same things, but for the most part, you will be able to find items like seals, O-rings, gaskets, washers, clutches, and more. Remember that if you already have an idea which parts you want to replace to buy the transmission rebuilding kit that includes those parts.

 

All parts included in a transmission replacement kit will be clean and new. The parts in rebuilding kits are all disassembled for those who only want to replace smaller parts instead of most of the transmission, however for the most part; most of the transmission is usually rebuilt. Depending on your knowledge of transmissions and your level of comfort taking your car apart, you can either do the overhaul yourself or take it to a mechanic.

 

Cost to Overhaul

A transmission rebuilding kit will cost you as low as $50 and up to $300 usually. While transmission rebuilding kits are not that expensive, it can cost between $1,000 and $5,000 for a mechanic to do the labor. These prices are the average for most transmission kits, but it all depends on the make and model of your car, as well as the year. Some older models will cost less than newer ones, but if the parts are hard to find that could make the price fluctuate.
