with all this talk about cruise control / OD etc I'm starting to wonder if the many trips up the local mountains this year was a contributing problem....especially since my son
likewise!
Wow, pretty unbelievable...at least you got 90k more out of yours!! Anyhow, last week I was gonna pull the pan and post pictures, however with it's orientation in my sloped driveway...I just couldn't figure out a great way to do it safely. After much hemming/hawing and talking to a bunch of...
So I shared the following with one of the rebuilders I'm talking to. I asked if his rebuild would be all new parts or jus those that were damaged.....as suspected, just those that are damaged. With that said....if this is the standard approach, isn't my 'new' transmission only as good as the...
with respect to the following quote....it sounds like they'll only repair/rebuild what is damaged. Is it unrealistic or possible to just replace everything internally with all new parts...to me, that would be a complete rebuild?
the price range to rebuild your transmission is from $2295.95+tax...
"Having said all this: you still need to ensure what is exactly wrong"
And that's the rub. The transmission shops that have heard the video and know the current symptoms, both have said the tranny is more than likely shot something do to with the planetary gears. Another shop did mention, like...
Yeah, I would assume that's why the one shop said they didn't even want to touch it. Any and all information with respect to personal experience having an A343F or similar transmission rebuilt is welcomed!! I'd love a 5yr warranty!
thank you, that's good info. One reputable trans shop in the area has already said they wouldn't do the rebuild. Another just quoted me $4500 and they said that's a full rebuild, all new parts....not just replacing what's broke. 3yr/50,000 mile warranty. My plan has always been to keep it...
Thanks for that info. Can someone provide a link or something on how to do the flex plate inspection? Or I assume I can find something on YouTube. I have no intention of doing the R&R myself. I'm just trying to get as much info from you all on this forum so I'm armed with as much info as...
Just curious if you ever got this figured out with the 2001? I have a 2001 with seemingly the same or similar issue to yours and most suspect transmission related...it's still in my driveway and just trying to determine where to take it at this point. Any info you can provide could be useful...
forgive my ignorance, sounds like it needs to be removed to be properly diagnosed? I'm going to be at the mercy of wherever I decide to tow it for diagnosis/repair.....so it sounds like I need to find a place I trust and then just go with it. I'm in San Diego county...if anyone has any...
