Cost OF REMANUFACTURED trannie

#1 03-25-2002, 09:53 PM

My '92 SVX dealer replaced transmission cost me $2800 in western NY. Now my '94 SVX transmission gave up the ghost and a dealer outside NYC wants $3800. Before I ask them for an explanation, does anyone have any suggestions? Or is this just inflation? lance49
PS Should the synthetic ATF be changed every 15000 miles?

Lance,
You'll find various prices throughout the country. Back in 99, when mine gave up the ghost, the dealer where I am quoted me around 4,600.00. When I took a poll of members and what they'd paid, or had been quoted, I got prices from 2,700 to 3,200. Note, I hadn't gotten any as high as what I was quoted. When I complained to SOA, their note back to me told me that Subaru dealers are independent and can charge what they want to. I'd see if I couldn't make an appointment with the same folks who replaced your other trans.

Make sure they are giving you the 1200 core credit. Some dealers try to scam you by cheating you out of it.
