Last week my transmission started failing on me (wasn't automatically going into 4th gear and now while traveling up a grade, it will rev high). I had it at the dealer to see what the problem was. The problem is with the rear-most clutch pack.
These are prices I got from the dealership:
Transmission (722.408) - $3350 ($1300 core)
Torque Conv - $1150
Does anyone know of any 'good' sources for rebuilt transmission/torque conv. combo? Preferrably on the EastCoast of the U.S.
I was thinking of going with NJ based :
http://www.europeanexchange.com/ (found them through an ad in 'The Star'). They quoted me for rebuilt trans/conv combo $1350+1 year warranty+exchange of the old unit (which I can just drop off). Has anyone ever purchased a unit from from them?
Any insight would be appreciated. Some of the online shops I see sell the rebuilt trans and conv seperate (for $1700+). For instance: adsitco.com ($1800+shipping+exchange), germanstar.net ($1800+shipping+exchange)
Thank you,
Karl
