Cost for new/rebuilt installed transmission?
All,
Have a buddy with an 06 E55 that lives quite the distance away (else I'd just help him swap it out) who believes his tranny is done for and is now debating on selling it as or getting it fixed first (guessing about 95k miles on it with headers, pulley and tune).
What do you all think should be cost to replace (pulled, rebuilt and reinstalled)? He lives in N Carolina and his indie seems to agree it needs replaced. I plan to suggest he look at some other shops but as he already bought a new car would like to get the baseline idea of overall swap costs.
Anyone been though this? I'd appreciate any insight.

For what its worth Level10 does an upgraded set up for around $5500 installed, a higherstall Tq Converter, Modified valve body and a trans warrantied up to 1000hp/1200wtq
If I wasnt such a hardcore DIY guy I may have considered going that route

If I'm buying a car from someone and it has a rebuilt transmission, I won't be buying it from someone that did it themselves. There are exceptions, but that's a general rule for me. I'm sure plenty of other people feel the same way.

Have your buddy make sure it really needs a "complete" transmission. Many times the conductor plate will do some really strange things,especially when the speed sensors are giving false feed back to the TCU. But if the fluid has that clutch odor ....than its hurt internally.

In my opinion, when someone enjoys cars so much, you really get to know them and love them more by doing the work yourself. It is so much more rewarding as well. When you say, " I saved X number of dollars by doing it myself"
