Transmission replacement cost

My transmission went out the other day. I have a 2001 Excursion 6.8 V10. I’m not sure what model transmission I have but it looks original. I was given a quote for $3800 for a remanufactured one including install with a 3 yr warranty. Is that a high price or normal. Truck only has 140000 miles on it.

What, exactly happened to your transmission?
Your trans is a 4R100.

Drive went out of it. I was driving down the interstate with no problems and was like I threw it in neutral. Reverse is the only gear that works. I had the fluid and filter changed in the summer and had a cooler put on to help when I’m pulling my camper.

Paging @Mark Kovalsky Mark is our resident trans expert, he used to work for Ford as a transmission engineer and is very familiar with the 4R100.

Mark, could this condition be something a little simpler than a new trans?

No, it isn't. Something mechanical broke inside the transmission.

My pricing is outdated by over 10 years. When I owned a repair shop I knew that info. But I have been out of that business for 11 years. I'm sure prices have changed a lot since then.

That price is in the ballpark. While they are rebuilding it, there are a few reliability upgrades the shop can do. Did mine last year. Cheers, Dave
