Transmission

[CBT]

My local Ford dealer was the first place I called when I got the bad news. I was quoted about $2300 with them swapping it for my old tranny. Without my old tranny it would be about $2600. That doesn't even include labor. I would love to get a tranny from the dealer with a warranty but unfortunately I just cannot afford it.

That is crazy, you could buy a wrecked Marauder for that, take the transmission out, and have spare parts off the wrecked car.

See if you can find out which shop handles the local police transmission rebuilds, they would be doing several 4R70W's a month and would be the most experienced.

You need to take your car elsewhere.

If my transmission failed, I would replace it with a manual. That's a lot of do-re-mi

PM Defyant, I think he had an 04 trans for sale. Not sure if it is still for sale but worth a look into.

Ok, just wanted to update you guys on the trnsmission situation. I gave the guy the go ahead becuase I basically ran out of options. I was already $50 in debt because I had to get it towed to the shop. I test drove the car after he was done and it rides like a dream. I also did some calling around and internet research for the cost to rebuild a 4R70W tranny and it looks like the average price is anywhere from $1200 to $1800. I feel a little better because the car rides good and the pricing seems fair. The only thing that I am worried about is the fact that this guy is only giving me a 12,000/ 1 year warranty. That makes me a little nervous but hopefully I won't have anymore issues. Thank you for the help fellas.

Sounds like all is good. I don't think that's too bad a warranty for a little shop and he could be covering a leadfoot driver since it's an MM.

Does anyone know the tailshaft length?

Thats not a bad price, i was going to purchase a silver marauder a few years ago (before covid inflation)with a tranny issue. It only got to 3rd or 2nd gear (cant remember) they quoted me $2200. Then again Im in Los Angeles.
