89 tranny

[ncinirator]

I posted my crown vic for sale in the autotrader and on here, getting only responces from people who are not serious about purchasing the vehicle.

What runs everyone off is when I mention that O/D slips. I drove the car using only D. Seems like no one wants to buy it so now I`m thinking of fixing the transmission problem and using it again. Any one know what the usual prices are to repair or rebuild the tranny on a 89 CV?

Is it worth repairing or rebuilding?

A good repair is going to run about $1,000.00 in and out. Most shops won't let you take it out or put it in, so your'e kinda stuck with that price. A better way is to find a running car that for whatever reason is less than the cost of the tranny rebuild, maybe a wreck, or a rotted out beast..

you can get the trans out rebuilt and back in for about $655 around here. Or you can find a working trans for $50-200 and if you want to pay for the in/out ~$180

These prices are normal for northern Indiana. where are you located?

[ncinirator]

Located in Maryland....Prices around here are a little higher.

How much are you looking to get for the car? Prices out by me are around 50 to 200 for a used tranny as well.

If your just selling the car,why drop $1000 into the tranny rebuild when you probibly wont get any more than $2000 for the entire Car.Find a Old 85-93 Junker at your local Yard and you should be able to get the tranny for $100-$200.
