722.6 Transmission Rebuild
 

I am currently shopping for a fair price to perform a “soft rebuild” on my 2003 W203 722.6 transmission. This will also include replacing the torque converter. The soft rebuild includes the following parts;

1. Metal clad front and rear seals
2. Hi-temperature rubber 0-rings and seals
3. Rubber drum seals or bonded rubber clutch pistons
3. Bushings and bearings
4. Clutch plates
5. Bands
6. Modulators
7. Filter/s
8. Upgrade kit
9. Automatic transmission fluid-ATF

Based on pricing so far it looks like it’s going to be near $2200. That figure also incudes a 3-year 36K warranty. Does this seem like a reasonable estimate? In case you’re wondering the clutches for 3rd gear are slipping. I’m getting a RPM flare at that shift point. We tried changing the spring but the problem is still there. The previous owner drove it for many miles with a broken 2-3-shift spring. The car has 161K and looks and runs excellent. It’s my daughter’s car and I want it to be right.

Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Go check the price at Sun Valley Dismantlers in California. Just got finished up with my rebuild 722.3 from them.

I'm in South Carolina though. How would that work?

They shipped transmission to me, I'm sure it won't be a problem. They have a shop install it if necessary.
