How much to spend for a new trans?

My buddy has a chance to get a '95 f250 4x4 and the auto trans is toast. Does anyone have a ballpark idea what a new or reman. trans would cost. Is there anywhere I could look up the price myself?

Is the transmission a 3spd auto (C6) or a 3spd with overdrive (aod, e40d) ?

My 95 has the E4OD and it's getting a new tranny on monday, your looking at anywhere from $2000-$4000 and higher depending on what your going to do with the truck and how tough you want to build it.

Note, I have the diesel so it's more than a gas tranny, especialy the converter....

I have read about guys on this forum who have bought "install it yourself" trannies for something like $500 to $800. I would be a biut nervous about that unless it was a reputable firm and good warranty.

Most rebuilds done in a shop that I have read about or expereinced have been between $1500 for minor work to around $3,500 for a tranny that was in bad shape.

My 94 E4OD 460gas that I use to tow a trailer cost me about $2,500 back around 1997. I told the guy I wanted it bullet proof for towing. he upgraded all the weak links of the E4OD and replaced the Sun shell and a few other hard parts, no gears. I have put about 30-40K miles on it since towing an 8,000# trailer, maybe 30% of that time. When I pulled the pan last year to change fluid it looked good as new.

I suppose for racing or a rebuild where things like gear sets are replaced, you would get to the $3,500 range pretty easy.

Good Luck,

Jim Henderson
