I'm pregnate. Ok, jokes aside, I got the call from the mechanic today. They say my tranny fluid looks shot, and my tranny needs to be replaced. Now I'm gonna call them back tomorrow and see if the whole tranny is shot, or just the valve body (since I know nothing about this, and I would rather spend less money) Do any of you know anything about what happens when the tranny fluid fails to do it's thing in an automatic? Does it screw over the whole tranny, or just the valve body? Any imput would be much appreciated

 

I've got my fingers crossed that it isn't your tranny....I do know that tranny fluid can last 100's of thousands of miles, unless you have a bad seal and other junk is getting in there....If you only need to replace valve body, I have heard that there's a company that makes an aftermarket deal that can handle more power(I know there are a few peeps on here who know more than I do about the aftermarket valve bodies)....

good luck!...hopefully it's not too major!

 

lol valve bodys dont go bad man, ifthe tranny fluid is showing something its showing either metal particles or friction material, either way it means rebuilding the tranny sorry to give you not so positive info man

 

dang i just got depressed for you... replacing the tranny really sucks ***** and can be a pricey component to change... but hey, once its done you have a tranny with 0 miles on it and thats a very very positive thing

 

ive seen metal shavings from a bad tranny. its not pretty.. so much junk .. they are so cool though you just want to take a magnet and play with them.

 

^ Hahahahahaha. That response was funny. Anyways, how much are tranny replacements?

 

i dunno exactly how much a new one costs but id imagine its at least 3k for a new one a rebuild will be cheaper though

 

Believe it or not When I had my ford exploder my tranny was slippin so I took it to the dealer and 1200$ later I had a new valve body and the problem was solved(and no this was not an adjustable tranny)....

that's the only reason why I thought you could replace the valve body (because i had mine replaced)

 

Hey_you is pregnant... ohh hes gonna be a soccer player, yes he is

Anyway... Sorry about that man, let us know the $$ its gonna cost you to do this thing, is this extreme enough to make it worth buying a whole new car or?

 

Good luck man!!!
