As some know my transmission went out on my way to SF last week. I’ve been calling around for quotes and it ranges from $2000 to $3500. Now my question is, how hard would it be to install a transmission myself and would it be cost effective. A rebuild transmission at sun Valley is $1750. How many hours does a shop need to install one? One of the things that has me think about having it done is ease of mind and a warranty.

If a buy one myself at Sun Valley will it be a bolt on ready transmission?
