Re: Need Transmission for a Shadow

What's wrong with the transmission that is in your car now? As long as it functions correctly, keep driving it and servicing it every 30,000 miles. Now, if something has happened to it internally that keeps it from functioning correctly without removal and teardown, then I suggest you get it rebuilt by a reputable, independent transmission shop in your area. I had this done to the transmission in my Shadow three years ago when I fragmented a clutch disc in the front clutch pack. The rebuild set me back $1,900. My transmission is a 3-speed automatic with lock up (P-R-N-D-2-1) sitting behind my 2.5L Turbo. Given you have 3.0L, you may have an Ultradrive 4-speed (P-R-N-D-3-L). You should verify this one way or another. The Ultradrive will cost more to rebuild, but will rebuild just the same.

Let us know what you find and do.
