i forget what its called but the part that regulates how fast the gears change when you shift doesnt work. when i shift sometimes the gear wont go in and when it does you hear something spinning and grinding. how could my trans fail. its a a1999, 6 speed with only 80,000????anyone know how much it costs to swap a trans. how much for labor and how much they go for?

Maybe its the clutch, pressure plate or throwout bearing! Just don't go buying a whole tranny before you know for sure!

does anyone know how much a shop will charge for a trans rebuild, including parts

**TACE02** · 06-02-2007, 04:02 PM

around here its around $550 for a basic rebuild, and like $800 for a rebuild that will withstand 600+ TQ.

another thing i noticed, does the middle consle, especialy noticibe around the e brake get hot.? when this problem happened i noticed it gets pretty damn hot around where the trans is.(there are no oil leaks so that aint the problem). is this normal?

Mine gets nice and toastie, but my boot is removed...D'oh. But yeah are you talking about the synchronizer. 80,000 isn't bad, wish mine woulda lasted at least a 1/4 of that time...LOL. Is it happening in all gears or just 1 or 2 gears...which gears?

well i noticed gear 2 and 3 but it shifts shitty in all gears. but 2 and 3 are the gears that tend to make spining and kinda grinding noises like the gear wont go in or wants to come out. im takin it to a mechanic tomorow so hopefullly i dont need a trans rebuild. 80k is way to soon for the trans to go
